How we are different
We bring a distinctive combination of professional operating experience, consulting services methodologies and easy-to-use performance management software applications for managing strategy implementation. Our differences include:
- Deep and wide operating experience combined with strong credentials in strategy development - most consultants provide only one or the other.
- A different process that starts with developing a clear definition of the value you create for your constituents - customers, investors, employees, suppliers and partners.
- Issues-driven planning - your strategy is based on what you
must do, not just what you want to do. It’s driven by the issues you
face, not just a collection of “good ideas”.
- Software applications for workgroup productivity. Using Intuit’s QuickBase rapid software development platform, we convert your implementation requirements into effective and affordable applications for information tracking and sharing within your team. We offer these through our affiliated company Crystal Bay Solutions.
