Change is the work now.
See how we'd start with you.

Before any research or any conversation, we show you exactly what working with Semco³ looks like — minute by minute, from the moment your enquiry lands to a signed contract and a project charter.

This simulation follows a real-shaped scenario: Medford Textiles, a 2,000-person sustainable fabrics manufacturer, 18 days from first contact to kick-off.

Step 01 · Web enquiry

Who are you?

Every field tells GEORGE³ — our operational engine — something it needs before a human ever reads it. Hover the notes to see why we ask.

Routes you to the right pathway. This simulation runs the client path.
Where GEORGE³ sends your confirmation — within minutes, not days.
Tells us the decision altitude, so we match the right Conductor.
GEORGE³ searches the Steward and Unconsultant network for sector and language fit.
This single field is what MRI 1 — The Scout — analyses first. Say it plainly; you don't need to package it.

From GEORGE³Automated

Thank you, Simone.

We've captured your query and it's already in motion. Before we do any research or have a conversation, please follow our simulator — it explains what Semco³ does, looks and feels like, so our first conversation starts from a shared picture rather than a sales pitch.

A Conductor matched to your sector and geography will be in touch within one working day.

Founders

Dr Jo Simpson, materials scientist, and Toni Francisco, tailor. A lab and a workshop, eight years in.

The 2023 jump

Two large sportswear contracts and a transport-upholstery deal more than doubled headcount. All three renew in 2028.

Day 0 · web enquirySimone · Global COO

"MedTex is at a critical inflection point. Growth in 2023 — 850 to 2,000 people — came largely from three major client deals which are up for renewal in 2028. We'd like to look at how we can best prepare for potential renewal, other growth options, diversification and competition. We were intrigued by a Semco³ article and then a webinar. Hence this connection."

Hour 5 · MRI 3 — Blueprint · investment models

Three ways to pay us

Every model starts with an initial fixed fee set at our cost — we have to be viable on the fixed fee alone. What varies is how we share in what the work creates. Pick one to carry into the proposal.

Model A

EBITDA share

Fixed fee plus a tapering share of the EBITDA improvement, gated by a profit benchmark and capped at 3× the fixed fee. Highest upside, most shared risk.

Gate & measureReality cap 3×
Model B

Fee carry

Part of the fee is deferred and carried, released against verified EBITDA increase over the engagement. Smooths cash out, keeps us honest on outcomes.

DeferredVerified uplift
Model C

Project by project

Each project priced and approved on its own merits. Most predictable, easiest to stop, the model Emma recommends for MedTex's first year.

What MedTex got

  • MRI 1 Scout, MRI 2 Contrast, MRI 3 Blueprint — before any pitch
  • Three Truth Scans: baseline, mid-point and month 12
  • RoleUp Review — roles and work redesigned against future strategy
  • A Steering Council, an Advisory Board and a Facilitator Guild
  • Certified internal facilitators and Level 3 internal Stewards
  • GEORGE, the dashboards and the curriculum — owned outright
  • Unconsultant expertise on demand, task-scoped and released

What they never got

  • A pitch deck about us
  • A team of juniors billing by the hour
  • A report that ends where the work should start
  • Surveillance dressed up as insight — GEORGE never monitors individuals
  • A restructuring shock, or a dependency on consultants who never leave
The four movements
Insight

Cast the net. Truth Scan baseline, tensions named, governance stood up.

Design

Find the right spots. RoleUp, cohort charters, facilitators in training.

Delivery

Reel in the wins. Pilots, decision gates, safety triggers, quarterly boards.

Autonomy

Sail your own waters. Capability transferred, share settled, Semco³ exits.

Chosen investment model

Project by project

Each project priced and approved on its own merits.

The twelve months

Signature is the starting line. From here the work moves through four movements — Insight, Design, Delivery, Autonomy — governed by a Steering Council, an Advisory Board, self-managed Cohorts and a Facilitator Guild. The Steward is in the flow the whole way, and then leaves.

GEORGE Steward Client

GEORGE³ is Semco³’s operational engine. Inside a client engagement, from kick-off onwards, it is simply GEORGE.
