Working with structure, not assumptions

Most consulting engagements begin with frameworks borrowed from somewhere else. We build from your context — your people, your priorities, your constraints.

Grounded in your situation

Every engagement starts with listening. We learn how decisions are made in your organisation before proposing anything.

Documented, usable outputs

Each service ends with a written deliverable — not a slide deck full of advice. Something you can reference, share, and act on over time.

Defined scope, clear timeline

Each engagement has a published scope and a fixed completion window. You know what you are getting and when it will be done.

External perspective, internal language

We communicate findings in language your team already uses — reducing translation effort and improving adoption of recommendations.

Focused engagements, not retainers

No long-term lock-in. Each service is a standalone engagement designed to produce a specific result in a reasonable amount of time.

Based in Cyberjaya, available across Malaysia

We work with organisations in the Klang Valley and beyond — in-person when useful, remote when practical.

Common questions

What types of organisations does Thornfeld typically work with?
We work primarily with mid-size organisations in Malaysia — particularly those in technology, manufacturing, financial services, and professional services. What they tend to have in common is an interest in improving how they generate and assess new ideas, and a leadership team willing to be honest about current limitations.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Each service has a defined window: the Technology Landscape Review takes approximately 3 weeks, R&D Portfolio Guidance runs 3–4 weeks, and the Innovation Ecosystem Design spans 5–6 weeks. These timelines reflect focused work, not drawn-out processes. The clock starts when we agree on scope.
What does the initial conversation involve?
We start with a straightforward conversation about what you are trying to address. We will ask about your current situation, what decisions you are trying to make, and who within your organisation needs to be involved. From that, we can suggest which service — if any — is the right fit.
Are the services available as packages or bundles?
Each service stands on its own — there is no bundling requirement. Some organisations have engaged us for two or three services in sequence as their priorities evolved. That sequencing is always their choice, not a condition of working with us.
How does billing and payment work?
Fees are in Malaysian Ringgit. We invoice in two stages: 50% at the start of the engagement, and the remainder on delivery of the final output. We accept bank transfer. All amounts are exclusive of applicable taxes.
Do you work with government-linked companies or agencies?
Yes. We have worked with both private-sector companies and publicly-linked entities in Malaysia. The engagement process is the same — though for larger organisations we are happy to discuss procurement procedures early to make sure everything fits.
