Frequently asked questions.

What exactly does Gravel do?

Gravel is an Organizational Development consulting firm. We help companies strengthen performance by aligning people, processes, and strategy. Our work ranges from consulting engagements to fractional leadership, always tailored to your unique goals.

How is Gravel different from other consulting firms?

We are a collective of leaders with diverse backgrounds across industries. This means you gain access to expertise that goes far beyond what a single consultant could provide. We operate with no ego, focus on results, and believe the best idea wins.

What kinds of organizations do you work with?

We work with companies of all sizes—from emerging businesses to established brands. Our clients come from hospitality, service, technology, finance, and more. What matters most is a willingness to grow, adapt, and invest in lasting improvement.

Do you only offer full-scale consulting projects?

No. Our support is fully customizable. Some clients need strategic consulting. Others benefit from fractional leadership where we temporarily step into executive roles. We scale up or down based on your needs and resources.

How does the process start?

We begin with an assessment of your goals, timelines, and resources. From there we provide tailored options for support, map out a clear plan with benchmarks and performance metrics, and then work alongside you as your business evolves.

What problems do you typically solve?

We help organizations facing growth challenges, operational resets, leadership gaps, or cultural misalignment. Whether it’s scaling a brand, turning around performance, or building systems for long-term success, we focus on solving root causes—not symptoms.

How do you measure success?

Every engagement includes agreed-upon benchmarks and performance metrics. Success might mean stronger financial results, better employee retention, a healthier culture, or a smoother leadership transition. We define success together and track progress openly.

Is this a long-term commitment?

Not necessarily. Some engagements are short and focused, while others evolve into ongoing partnerships. Our goal is not to lock you into a contract but to give you the right level of support at the right time.
