INDUSTRY EXPERTISE
Innovation and reinvention have their place. Usually though, someone has already gone down the path a time or two. You want to accelerate your business change. What already works? Where have things failed before? How can you leverage this? (free industry insights)
ERP STRATEGIC STAFFING
Specialized, dependable ERP resources can be difficult to find just when you need them most. Sometimes, even large-scale initiatives require a short-term expert. Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP strategic staffing can be a great way to contain project costs while gaining access to top talent.
PROJECT DEFINITION
Good approach for many C-suite problems and opportunities. Up-front analysis, preliminary thinking, and go-forward ideas. Get ideas coherently organized in one place. What would you do if had time?
PROGRAM AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Even the best intentions get side-tracked. Derailed, over-budget, missing deadlines. Not good. Back to the basics program management is needed. Rational decisions. What is realistic? What needs to be changed? What are the priorities?
INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION
Exposing facts and revealing un-retouched data takes a brave soul sometimes. Business goes in cycles. Facts deserve confronting. What isn't on your management report?
TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE
You need this broken down in simple, concrete business terms. Are there realistic alternatives? What is the long-term cost and benefit? Who is impacted? How long is realistic?
HUMAN CAPITAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Command and control has its place. Still, most executives today know good change management also has its place. Theories and concepts get irritating. You want to cut to the chase and get things done. Design. Implement. Do. Who can deliver this?
BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
An outsider's look in can sometimes mean the difference between a good improvement an a superior improvement. Rarely, is a large firm needed for incremental improvement. But a seasoned BPI professional can make a significant difference on the overall design.
FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE
You don't want the "young-guns" to get trained on your nickel. Is it possible to get smart, seasoned consultants without the school-bus this time?
STRATEGIC LANDSCAPE
There are on-going "flavor of the month" opportunities. Sometimes they hit pay-dirt, sometimes they are all fluff. Which new ideas can set your organization apart from the pack.
MARKETING AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION
Are you really getting your share of the market? Are you getting the value from your marketing dollars you'd expect? How does marketing impact your sales? Do your marketing efforts measure the ROI? How can you get real impact starting now?
