# Your strategy shouldn’t *end with the engagement*

Consulting platforms come and go with the contract. Conductor is a platform you own — methodology-agnostic, deeply integrated with your enterprise stack, and yours for the long term.

## The McKinsey, Bain, BCG approach

- **Tied to engagement contracts** — Access typically requires an active consulting engagement. When the engagement ends, so does the platform.
- **Methodology-specific, not flexible** — Built around the firm's proprietary methodology. If your program doesn't fit their framework, you're adapting to their tool.
- **Limited integration ecosystem** — Designed as standalone platforms for the consulting engagement. Limited ability to integrate with your existing enterprise tools.

## The Conductor approach

- **You own the platform** — Independent SaaS license. Your program, your configuration, your way — regardless of which consultants you work with or when engagements end.
- **Methodology-agnostic, fully configurable** — Conductor adapts to your model — not the other way around. Works with any consulting framework or your own methodology.
- **Deep enterprise integrations** — Native connectors to Jira, Azure DevOps, SAP, and more. Conductor becomes the strategy execution platform alongside your existing tools.
