Third Person Consulting owns and operates Out of Scope Productions. TPC is the consulting practice; OOSP is our scenario studio, which makes Project: Countdown!, the other games and the Database. When you work with TPC, OOSP's scenarios and research are part of what we bring.
No. A one-person practice that works with contractors needs the same basics as a large firm, at a much smaller scale: a few procedures for the work that can hurt you, a way to check contractors, hold points before work is covered up, and a learning plan. Our free Quick Start Brief, The Practice of One, is a good place to start, and a scoped engagement can be as small as a single workshop.
Not as a service of its own. We focus on the blind spots, processes and best practices that a change depends on, and we work alongside your change or project team where you have one.
Your pilot scenario is packaged as a standard e-learning course file, so it runs in most learning management systems and stays yours after the platform year ends. No LMS? We can provide one through our training partner.
Yes, and that's often where the biggest gaps are. We look at how engineering, operations, safety, IT and other teams handle the same work, and where their procedures and training meet.
We agree a baseline before we start. At 30, 60 and 90 days we check early signals in the work itself: is the new way being used, and are errors and rework moving? Ninety days is a feasibility check, not proof. Results such as quality, safety and cost take 6 to 12 months to show, and where we can we compare with a team that hasn't changed yet. Satisfaction scores and self-ratings alone don't tell you whether anything changed.
Each one cites an entry in the Database, with its sources, its evidence tier and its limits. Where the evidence is thin or contested, we say so.
We're a new firm, so some items are still in setup. The procurement section lists company details, privacy, accessibility, security, delivery, insurance and contracts, and marks every item that isn't in place yet.
Straight answers for vendor onboarding, IT and security review. We're a new firm, so some items are still in setup. Each one is marked, and nothing here claims more than is true today.
We collect as little personal information as the work needs, use it only for that work, and return or delete it when we're done.
PIPEDA for personal information in Canada; Quebec's Law 25 when the people involved are in Quebec; and the GDPR when an EU buyer shares personal data with us, where we act as your processor.
We don't collect sensitive personal information, and results are reported for the group. They're never used to rate individuals.
Placeholders in red are still being confirmed. This sheet will be reissued as each item is in place.
Training that didn't change the work, a go-live coming up, or an expert about to retire. Start with a short note.

Your people, processes and technology were set up to work together. In the real work, they drift apart.
We review how the work really runs, and find where it falls out of step.
