Why we are different

There are many reasons that our services are superior to our competitors. Our guiding principle is to concentrate our efforts first on effectiveness, perfecting these solutions. These concepts are then fine-tuned and the implementation tactics are then refined to create optimum efficiency. This differs from the efforts of many consultants that often bring too narrow a viewpoint and then get too focused on the efficiency of tactics instead of starting at a higher level and addressing the effectiveness of the overall business operation. In our view, it’s much easier to deliver cost savings and business improvements through an ideal solution than it is to improve a less effective one. In other words, a bad plan, although efficiently executed, will not return good results. The expertise and technical solutions we strive for follow these bottom line principles:

We’re staffed with industry professionals, not professional consultants. Real-world experience is what you receive when you work with us. Our focus is working with you to discover the most realistic solutions for your business. No matter how great ideas look on paper, they’re worthless if you can’t put them to work right away.

We are implementation oriented: Even the best ideas, if not implemented, will not solve the customer’s needs. The professional experience of our staff comes from successfully implementing operational solutions in a variety of businesses and industries as organizational leaders. In all projects, we create management measurements and tracking tools to insure timely project completion as well as communicate the current status of the program.

Focus first on effectiveness, then on efficiency: We first ensure that all business solutions are strategically sound. Implementation of any business or operational solution must nurture and enhance the long-term strategy and financial health of the business. Therefore we will create a long-range vision and direction and then support it with short-range implementation and deliverable schedules.

Provide practical and implementable solutions: Financial and organizational constraints are undeniable factors in inhibiting change in organizations. The consulting solutions we provide must be acceptable within the financial resources available and the culture of the business.

Create organizational ownership in the change: In all steps of the process, we will work alongside the designated change agents of the organization. This process improves communication, change ownership and the project’s rate of return. In addition, it allows the in-house change agents an opportunity to gain new leadership and project management skills.

Create self-funding projects: We strive to provide a measurable benefit to our customer. If possible we will structure the project so that it will pay for itself as it progresses. In all consulting assignments, an overriding priority is to provide the client with high value – a rapid return on their investment in our services. With most of our projects, we typically exceed a 500% rate of annual return and we often meet up to a 1500% annual return on consulting services.

Approach every project solution with an open mind: A hammer views every problem as a nail. We endeavor to not be single-minded in our approach. We apply a broad-based, cross-functional approach to problem solving. We use sound business principles and apply the latest business and operational concepts only as the business’ needs demand it not necessarily because it is the latest “state-of-the-art” business solution. Our approach is to have our consulting solution fit the problem rather than try to have the implemented actions fit around a pre-determined resolution.
