we're not your typical consultants

Imagine your business is a jigsaw puzzle. One you've worked on for years - perhaps you got a glance of the cover of the box, perhaps you didn't. Either way you're nearly complete - except there are a few pieces missing. You don't know where those pieces went, or even if you had them when you started. All you know is that those holes in your picture are causing problems for you.

You search for someone who knows something to help complete your puzzle, and you find some typical consultants.

"Your problem is so common, we developed the perfect puzzle piece to solve it!" they say.

"To begin with, you'll need to modify your business to fit our piece. We have lots of experience telling others where to start making changes, so simply follow our advice and the piece should snap right in! Oh, if it doesn't fit frankly we know it not a problem with our piece - our data show it's bad implementation by business owners like you. For an extra fee we are glad to help fix that too through force-fitting."

then there's us

We start with the same unfinished picture, then find out what missing portion is bothering you most and why. Then we reach into our trusty sack and pull out a few puzzle pieces.

"Our experience tells us that any of these three pieces will likely work. Given your people, the stage of your business, and your long-term goals, which puzzle piece do you feel would look best in your picture?"

Once we settle on a piece we jointly make changes to the piece to make it fit your organization. We make sure the piece fits nicely, both from your perspective and from that of the people responsible for making it work. Once the piece is integrated into your business and helps improve your picture, we're done.

And at that point most of our clients point to another hole that's bothering them and we begin collaborating on what piece would fit the clients' picture...
