Our Clients
We serve two distinct client types and are structured to meet them where they need support and results.
We work directly with businesses and organizations by collaborating with their leadership and existing teams to solve important problems. We can augment an entity’s workforce to fulfill existing job functions or we can step in to design, plan, and execute project-based engagements.
We also advise on vendor or specialty services evaluation, selection, and engagement in order to help our clients save time and maximize the value of technology and consulting spend.
Strategy & Management Consulting Firms
We work with top consulting firms by augmenting their workforce to support their short-term and long-term client projects. We are positioned to support consulting practices where an outsourced model may be part of their resourcing strategy. This can include those who have highly seasonal businesses or unpredictable demand for their services.
We can plug into engagement teams from the start of a project or mid-flight to provide the continuity and quality of service their clients expect, particularly in situations involving workforce turnover or subject matter expertise shortfalls.
Our Approach
We understand that unique business problems require specific and tailored solutions.
While we consider our technical and business acumen table stakes for the clients we serve, we differentiate ourselves in three domains:
- How we think
- How we bring out the best in people and functions
- How we apply our expertise in our clients’ environments
We implement a principles-based approach to identify problems, design and develop a plan for resolution, and execute to deliver results.
Methodologies and approaches we draw upon when delivering our services include:
- Design Thinking
- Systems Thinking
- 1Lateral Thinking
- Socratic Method
- Benchmarking
- Expected Return Assessment
