I've heard many great leaders say "one of the best ways to learn how to be a good leader is by watching the failures of poor leaders". Our philosophy about consulting isn't very different. The practices and approaches we've put in place that have yielded our clients such great results largely resulted from watching other consulting firms waste millions of dollars of their clients money only to deliver a weekly status report and a few flashy slide shows of limited utility. From day one, we insisted on doing things differently. We started with the methods we use to identify our consulting resources. For us, to believe that resumes and interviews alone are sufficient enough to identify a resource that must be as diverse as a Strategic Consultant was unrealistic, and didn't provide enough assurance that our staff would be successful in your organization. Please visit our resources site to learn more about the rigorous screening process employed to ensure you get the best and brightest professionals available. Additionally, we threw out the playbook on conventional consulting and industry approaches, and started brainstorming new ideas to help organizations through their biggest challenges, and foster a company culture of proactivity vs. reactivity. To us, consulting is very much like diagnostic medicine, in that we're constantly in search of root causes to that which pains us. Only here, we've created an entirely new method of diagnostics called Elementary Analysis, which takes root cause and response planning to a whole new level. I encourage you to visit our Elementary Analysis site to learn more about this innovative new process. Finally, we changed the way consultants listen to you, the client. Preconceived notions about your industry and business are left outside the door. Your business, culture, and mission are unique, and for us to approach an engagement believing otherwise would degrade your return on investment, and diminish our effectiveness as a consulting firm. Every client is a blank canvas to us, and our job is to help you put the paint on the paper that represents the best of who you are.
