(04) — Why Cinnamons

Consulting,
without the
consulting machine.

The old model — a partner selling the work, a pyramid of analysts delivering it — is broken for the kind of problems that matter now. We built Cinnamons around a different premise: put senior operators on the problem, keep them there, and hold ourselves to the outcome.

Senior-only teams

Every person on your engagement has led the work before. No juniors learning on your budget.

Outcome-accountable

Our fees are tied to what ships. We succeed when your organization measurably moves.

Deliberately small

We take on fewer than a dozen engagements a year. Each one gets the firm's full attention.

Built to be left

Every engagement ends with your team fully capable. We design ourselves out of the work.

(05) — Approach

How the work
actually gets done.

Phase I
Orient

A week of listening.

Before any scope or statement of work, we spend time with your operators — the people who will actually live with the outcome. What's working. What isn't. What's been tried.

Phase II
Design

A thesis, not a deck.

We commit to a testable point of view — what to do, what not to do, and the sequence that compounds. Short. Sharp. Defensible.

Phase III
Embed

We sit on your side.

Our team joins yours — in your tools, your rituals, your meetings. We're accountable for delivery, not for slides.

Phase IV
Hand off

Designed to be left.

Every engagement ends with your organization demonstrably more capable than we found it. That's the entire job.

(06) — About
The firm
California, United States
Montréal, Canada

A practice of operators
who have done the work.

Cinnamons was founded in California by a small group of former CTOs, transformation directors, and platform leads who had, between them, spent too many years watching good strategy die in the gap between the advisor and the operator.

We built the firm we wished we could have hired. Senior people, staying with the problem, accountable for the outcome. Our Montréal office extends that same practice across North America — bilingual, cross-border, and close to clients on both coasts.
