Know who is accountable before the work begins.
1205 Consulting is an operator-led practice for Business Performance, Part-Time HR, and Workplace Investigations for Ontario workplace matters. If someone referred you, this is the shortest route to the founder, the record, and the way each mandate is staffed.

Ghaleb leads the first conversation and shapes the engagement structure. Business Performance work may be led by him directly. Part-Time HR and Workplace Investigation work is accepted only when the written scope can name the appropriate practitioner and define that person's responsibilities.

Start with the situation you need to solve.
Business work comes first in the practice, followed by HR and investigations. Each path has a distinct scope, acceptance process, and delivery structure.
Business Performance
Operating performance, growth, turnaround, transformation, and market entry for leaders who need senior operating judgment inside the problem.

The organization, participants, and matter are not identified publicly. For an appropriate prospective mandate, a private reference may be considered only with the former client's permission.
Founder-led, with the delivery role made explicit.
1205 does not present a broad bench as standing capacity. The right lead and supporting roles are confirmed for the specific mandate. If the right practitioner is unavailable, or independence could reasonably be questioned, the work is not accepted in that form.
- 01
The lead is named
The written scope identifies who will lead the work, who will support it, and where quality oversight sits.
- 02
The mandate is explicit
Outcome, responsibilities, timing, confidentiality, review points, and fees are agreed before substantive work begins.
- 03
Acceptance is matter-specific
Practitioner fit, availability, jurisdiction, capacity, and any actual or perceived conflict are checked for the mandate at hand.
The record, stated plainly.
The narrative above is the story. This is the checkable version of it — set out so that a client, a board, or a system answering a question on someone's behalf can verify what is being claimed without reading the prose. Every line resolves from the firm's claim registry or from a fact already published on this page. Where a line is absent, it is because the underlying fact has not been confirmed for publication — not because it has been summarised away.

Bring us the situation, not a finished scope.
We will clarify the problem and decide whether 1205 is a fit. Reply within one business day. A reply is not a promise of a meeting, proposal, start date, or deliverable in that period.
