Be Accountable
We believe in the power of honest expectations communicated clearly.
We honor our commitments and the accountability that comes with them.
Client Engagement Model
We exist to make a total enterprise value impact. Working with companies who are restless and want more out of their business, our clients unlock their full potential through our proven interventions that minimize sunk costs and drive maximum ROI through a precise set of objectives built on our deep understanding of client priories and economic considerations, rigorous and exact execution and mitigating costs by balancing SMA and Client resources and deploying success-based incentives, where appropriate. Our engagements typically include four (4) discrete work streams with a specific Statement of Work (SOW) defining each:
Fast Track Discovery
Accelerated (~2-3 week) assignment to confirm specifications, required vs. available resources, deliverables and expense mitigation opportunities.
Strategy Review & Analysis
In-depth analysis to identify root causes, and prescribe actions to dramatically improve the value of the business.
Implementation
Assist in the execution of the value improvement & transformation efforts, authored by the client, SMA, or both.
Ongoing Support
Provide “at the ready” technical expertise and insights, serving as a faculty advisor and subject matter contributor to client initiatives.
Our Value Exchange
- Deliver clear, tangible & measurable results, not just hourly-based consulting services
- Create value-based arrangements where we structure the engagement’s “sunk” expenditures to be a relatively small fraction of the ultimate real improvement in outcomes.
- Avoid “productized” pricing models, consider creative approaches to project financing – We are not afraid to put our fees at risk.
