Not sure which programme is right? A first 30-minute call is usually enough to guide your choice. In-depth cybersecurity and artificial intelligence studies fall under the separate Fit 4 Cybersecurity and Fit 4 AI programmes.

What you get in every engagement.

Whichever programme you choose, we apply the same working principles, those required by the programme specifications and those we set ourselves.

Full independence

No tools sold or proposed, no partners to recommend, no stake in the final choice. Your decisions rest on your needs, not on our catalogue.

On-site diagnostic

Interviews, workshops and observation of real work on your premises. We start from what actually happens, not from what is documented.

Traceable findings

Each recommendation traces back to a located dysfunction, tested against management's objectives and the figures.

A costed action plan

Priorities, timeframe, budget, expected return and type of expense, in the Luxinnovation Annex 2 format, directly useful for identifying funding.

A readable report

Written for a non-expert, with no undefined jargon. Presented to management, then to the teams.

A controlled framework

Engagement of 6 months maximum, detailed quotation, confidentiality during and after the engagement, conflicts of interest declared in writing before the start.

From the current situation to the decision.

Both programmes follow the same progression, with tools specific to each subject.

01
Scope

Scoping

Management's objectives, scope, stakeholders, starting point.

02
Observe

On-site immersion

Interviews, workshops, observation of real work, documents and data.

03
Diagnose

Mapping and analysis

Processes, flows, tools, organisation: gaps, bottlenecks, root causes.

04
Decide

Action plan and presentation

Scenarios, priorities, budget, resources, success conditions, presentation to management and teams.

At every step, the same filter: what your company can fund, absorb and sustain. A solution that cannot be funded or adopted is merely an expense.

What executives ask us.

Who funds a Fit 4 diagnostic?+
The Fit 4 programmes are support schemes of the Luxembourg government, operated by Luxinnovation. A diagnostic carried out by an external consultant may receive public funding, at a rate that depends on company size (up to 70% for a small company under Fit 4 Performance) and on eligibility conditions. We check with you what applies to your situation before starting.
Is the implementation of recommendations included?+
No. The programme funds the diagnostic and the action plan, not the implementation. Our engagement ends with a usable decision file: priorities, costs, resources, success conditions. You remain free to carry out the actions alone, with your providers, or with us.
Which should I choose, Fit 4 Digital or Fit 4 Performance?+
Fit 4 Digital answers a question about systems and tools (ERP, CRM, data, infrastructure…). Fit 4 Performance answers a question about how the business runs (strategy, processes, governance, market). The two engagements are distinct, each with its own framework. A first 30-minute call is usually enough to guide your choice.
Do you sell software or recommend providers?+
No, never. OpenField has no tools to sell and no partners to propose. Our only remuneration is the engagement fees. This independence is a requirement of the programme and a principle of our practice.
Where does the diagnostic take place and how long does it last?+
The analysis is carried out on site, on your premises, within a maximum of 6 months. The number of days depends on the agreed scope and is set out in a detailed quotation (scope, schedule, team, deliverables, number of days, daily rate).
What is the rate?+
The programme caps the daily rate at €1,300 excl. VAT, for all experts and all seniority levels. The detailed quotation is provided before the start.
What about cybersecurity or artificial intelligence?+
These subjects fall under separate programmes, Fit 4 Cybersecurity and Fit 4 AI, with their own consultants. In our engagements, the digital component remains a factual observation and does not aim to recommend cybersecurity or AI solutions.
