The Engagement Process
Engagement
One thing we do that is truly unique and unprecedented in our industry is to make it easy for a new client to work with us. We like to call it our “no-risk” engagement guarantee. Our first consult via phone and often to the client site is usually done for little to no cost. If we find a good chemistry with your team and vision with the project, people and problem, we move forward with the client. If not, we won’t.
Each client project is developed together on an individual basis, since we both own the company and engage with our clients on a day to day basis, you get a personalized plan that is designed to deliver the results your team needs.
Needs Analysis and Discovery
Starting with your business objectives, needs, and current state situation, we assess the best means to support your business, providing a cost-effective and results-oriented plan.
Collaborative Solution and Project Planning
A customized plan, with timing and objectives aligned to your business needs is developed collaboratively with the client team. Any immediate knowledge gaps are addressed through short term activity and training ensuring full and objective alignment of the internal and external teams.
Resource Plan
Whether the project demands a single support person or a multi-talented team, we align expertise and capability to your needs.
Execution and Results Management
You don’t play for keeps and not keep score! We actively work with the client team throughout the course of the project to ensure continued alignment to core goals, results that are clear and impactful to the bottom line, and when needed as business needs change, robust countermeasures, all to ensure client success.
