Strategic advisory work
Why Cendric

Structured Work.
Clear Outputs.
Honest Advice.

There are many consultants who will run a workshop. Fewer who will give you an honest assessment of what they find, document it clearly, and leave you with something genuinely useful.

Core Advantages

What You Get With Cendric

Across all three engagement types, certain things remain consistent — the way we work, the standards we hold, and the outputs we deliver.

Senior-Led Engagements

Your engagement is conducted by an experienced consultant, not passed to a junior analyst.

Documented Outputs Every Time

Every session ends with written deliverables — canvas records, briefs, or options papers — not just a conversation.

Visual, Structured Format

We use the Business Model Canvas to give every session a shared visual structure that teams can engage with directly.

Confidential Handling

All business model content is treated as commercially sensitive. We do not share it beyond the engagement.

Three Distinct Formats

One-day workshop, three-week refinement, or three-month advisory — each scoped to a different stage of model work.

Transparent, Fixed Pricing

Prices are stated clearly: RM 580, RM 1,480, and RM 2,860. No variable fees or scope additions after the engagement begins.

Deep Advisory Experience

Our consultants have worked across manufacturing, retail, logistics, education, and professional services businesses in Malaysia. That variety matters — it means we come to each canvas session with genuine pattern recognition, not a template approach.

  • 8+ years of business model advisory work
  • 140+ canvas sessions delivered across industries
  • Hands-on experience with Malaysian market dynamics
  • Clear communication in English and Bahasa Malaysia

8+
Years of Practice

Facilitated. Documented. Clear.

A Facilitation Style That Gets to the Point

Canvas sessions can drift. Ours do not. We run structured conversations that surface the information we need to fill the canvas accurately and honestly — including the components that are less developed than they might first appear.

  • Prepared facilitation guides for each session
  • Structured time allocation across canvas components
  • Clear follow-through from session to written outputs
  • Direct, respectful communication style throughout

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

Each engagement has a fixed price, published before you commit. There are no additional fees for documentation, follow-up correspondence, or the second advisory session included in the Business Model Advisory. What you see is what you pay.

  • RM 580 — Canvas Workshop (one day, full output)
  • RM 1,480 — Model Refinement (~3 weeks)
  • RM 2,860 — Business Model Advisory (3 months)
  • All in Malaysian Ringgit, inclusive of deliverables

RM 580
to RM 2,860

Fixed. Transparent. Inclusive.

Written, structured, usable.

Outputs That Stay Useful After the Session

The measure of a useful advisory engagement is whether the outputs are still being referenced six months later. We design our documentation to be clear, navigable, and actually useful — not a formatted transcript of the day's conversation.

  • Completed canvas in structured format
  • Prioritised considerations and notes
  • Assumptions documented and flagged
  • Recommendations brief with clear, actionable language
How We Compare

The Cendric Approach vs. Typical Alternatives

Consideration Typical Consulting Firm Cendric
Who leads the engagement Often a senior intro, then junior delivery Senior consultant throughout
Deliverables format Slide decks, high-level summaries Working canvas, written briefs, notes
Pricing transparency Proposal-based, varies widely Fixed prices, published upfront
Conflict of interest policy Not always stated explicitly Disclosed and managed proactively
Scope creep risk Common with open-ended retainers Defined engagement scope from the start
Model framework used Varies, often proprietary Business Model Canvas — open & shareable
What Sets Us Apart

Distinctive Features of Our Practice

Canvas-Centred Methodology

We use the Business Model Canvas as our primary working tool — not as a slide-deck template, but as an active working document filled collaboratively in the room. The completed canvas becomes a usable artefact, not a summary of what happened in the meeting.

Honest, Not Just Helpful

Many advisory services tell clients what they want to hear. We describe what we see — including components of a model that are underdeveloped, assumptions that need testing, or areas where the logic does not quite hold up. This is where the value of the exercise actually sits.

Three Formats for Three Stages

Rather than offering one style of engagement at different price points, we offer three genuinely different formats designed for three different situations: initial mapping, targeted refinement, and longer advisory support. Each has its own scope, deliverables, and timeline.

Rooted in the Southern Corridor

Based in Johor Bahru with an understanding of the local business landscape — the proximity to Singapore, the mix of manufacturing and services businesses in the region, and the practical constraints that affect how SMEs and mid-sized firms operate here.
