Direct answers regarding the enquiry process, fit, working format, fees and terms.

What happens after submitting an enquiry?

Submitting an enquiry is nonbinding and carries no financial obligation. Thomas Bothe reviews your submission and the challenge you describe. The next step is a 45-minute conversation by phone or video to examine the situation and mutual fit. If there is alignment on intervention scope, terms and timing are agreed in writing.

How do we determine which intervention fits our leadership situation?

CEO Sparring is a confidential thinking partner for the chief executive alone. Thinkware Tuning works with the whole management team, CEO included, on a tactical problem that keeps coming back: you know what to do and it does not get done. Thinkware Horizon works with the CEO and core team when the way you have been winning stops working and you need a new direction. CEiL trains team leaders to get a message across to each person in the room. The first conversation helps clarify which one fits.

How does Thomas Bothe work with executive teams?

Thomas works directly with the leadership team on real corporate challenges rather than delivering abstract lectures or prefabricated frameworks. Grounded in John Boyd’s OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and communication under pressure, engagements examine how leaders observe reality, interpret signals, generate options, and act.

What does an intervention cost?

Fees are agreed in the first conversation, once Thomas understands the situation and the scope. Both corporate (B2B) and private individual buyers are accepted. Latvian VAT of 21% applies where required, and travel and accommodation for in-person work are agreed separately. Engagements are contracted directly with Latvian entity SIA Akadēmija SAPŅU OSTA.

Are there mandatory contract commitments or outcome guarantees?

The site does not promise a specific outcome. Suggested starting horizons such as 90 days for Thinkware Tuning or three months for CEO Sparring are not published contractual minima. Ask about commitment, notice and cancellation terms during the enquiry; the terms for any engagement are agreed before work begins.

Where and how are interventions delivered?

In-person delivery is preferred for CEiL (2–3 days). Formats for Thinkware Horizon, Thinkware Tuning and CEO Sparring are discussed during scoping. Travel and accommodation for in-person work are agreed separately.

Fees and Contracting

Fees are agreed in the first conversation, once the scope is clear. Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied at the standard statutory rate of 21% where applicable under European tax law. Both corporate (B2B) and private individual buyers are accepted. Travel and on-site accommodation are agreed separately for in-person engagements. Engagements are contracted directly with SIA Akadēmija SAPŅU OSTA (Riga, Latvia · VAT Reg. LV40103730598).
