Specific Value for the Work of Thinking About Products
Here is a plain account of what makes our approach worth considering over the alternatives.
Back to HomeSix Reasons Teams Choose Solenne
Practitioner Expertise
Our team has held product and strategy roles inside Malaysian companies — we are not advisors who have only read about the work, we have done it.
Concrete Deliverables
Every engagement ends with a written output — not a slide deck of recommendations, but a usable document your team can act on.
Right-Sized Engagements
Three distinct options let you start where it makes sense — a single session, a multi-week project, or a wider programme — without overcommitting early.
Malaysian Context Built In
We understand local market dynamics, stakeholder structures, and regulatory considerations — no need to translate generic frameworks into your actual situation.
Candid Advice
We say what we actually think — including when an idea needs rethinking. Tactful honesty is more useful than comfortable agreement.
Transparent Pricing
Fees are published openly on our Solutions page. There are no retainers with vague scope — you know the cost before you commit.
What Each Benefit Means in Practice
Professional Expertise Grounded in Practice
The team at Solenne has worked in product, strategy, and organisational roles across Malaysian industries including financial services, logistics, and technology. This means we bring relevant context to each conversation — not just consulting theory.
- Direct experience in Malaysian product environments
- Facilitation skills developed over multiple engagements
- Ability to read organisational dynamics quickly
"We keep it specific and applied. If something we suggest does not fit your context, we want to know — and we will adjust."
— Solenne Working Principle
Initial conversation — understand your situation
Working session — structured, focused, time-bound
Written output — document delivered for your team's use
A Process That Produces Real Outputs
Each of our three engagements follows a clear sequence: a focused conversation to understand your situation, a working session or series of workshops, and a written output. The process is predictable and the output is tangible.
- Clear sequence from conversation to output
- No open-ended retainers without defined scope
- Practical documents, not abstract reports
Transparent Pricing at Every Stage
Our fees are fixed and published openly. The Idea Shaping Session is RM 600, the Product Direction Engagement is RM 2,800, and the Innovation Practice Programme is RM 4,550. You know the number before we talk, and it does not change unless the scope does — which we discuss and agree together.
- Fixed fees published on website
- No hidden additions after engagement begins
- Scope changes agreed jointly before cost changes

Distinctive Features of Our Approach
The One-Page Concept
Our Idea Shaping Session produces a single-page concept note — a format we developed specifically to avoid the diffuse outputs that make early-stage thinking hard to act on.
The Direction Document
The Product Direction Engagement delivers a documented direction that includes priorities and a simple roadmap — written to be shared with internal stakeholders, not just the team that commissioned it.
The Method Guide
The Innovation Practice Programme delivers a method guide and template set tailored to your organisation — not a generic toolkit, but material adapted to your culture and working style.
No Long-Term Lock-In
Each engagement is complete in itself. You are not committed to a retainer or a follow-on project. If you want to continue, we discuss a new scope — on the same transparent terms.
