How do we work?

As a rule our clients are those who faced with inadequate work of their enterprise and feel need to change something, e.g. difficulties in relationship of key managers or complaints from customers concerning low quality of services. The process of consultation usually includes the following phases:

• diagnosis;
• action planning;
• implementation;
• estimation of changes.

However, as experience shows, successfully developing organizations also need our services, e.g. an organization wants to increase its market share (the problem of marketing); a company needs restructuring to operate more effectively (implementation, change management); the management is concerned about the development of new products or new channels to market promotion (the problem of marketing).

Thus, all problems faced by our clients can be divided into three types:

• Problems of correction;
• Problems for improvement;
• Creative problems.

Consultants versus own staff

1. Often organization can cope with the problem itself. But skilled professionalswho can do it, are engaged in another important work.
2. Consultants can give a fresh look at the problems of the organization through an impartial view from outside.
3. Intensive help on a temporary basis. No need to pay for highly skilled labor, when it is not needed.
4. Consultants have knowledge of Western management and practical domestic experience.
