For us it’s about REAL IMPROVEMENT.
Our work is collaborative.
We work closely with your staff to generate the best possible
results. We offer frank, honest feedback and we don’t shy
away from tough issues.
A
typical engagement has four phases.
1. We begin with visiting you
for free consultation to discuss your company,
goals, and issues. We get a better feel for each other and
decide if it is a good fit.
2. This is followed by a short
diagnostic phase, where we work with you and your staff to
gather necessary information to make an objective assessment.
Then we report our findings and propose a quality solution.
3. Once this is accepted we
begin an action phase and work with you rollout
the desired improvement.
4. After the rollout we
initiate a follow up schedule
We like this format because
it allows first time customers to give us a “test drive” at the
beginning, with limited risk.
We price on value.
Though we can bill hourly, per diem or on a project basis, whenever possible we use Value Based Pricing. We set our rates as a percentage of the true value of the improvement to the organization.
Why do we do choose to share your risk instead of just billing hourly or per diem? Six simple reasons:
1. You will see improvement as
an investment not a cost.
2. We get unrestricted access
because you aren’t worried about our time spent on site, on the phone,
etc.
3. You have a fixed price tag
and don’t have to worry about budgets being blown and costs spiralling
out of control.
4. We are motivated to deliver
the best possible service in the shortest possible time (not stretching
our the contract for a bigger pay check.)
5. Together we set the scope
and expectations of the project so the improvement can be completed
successfully.
6. We feel part of a
collaborative partnership – not just another sterile supplier-customer
arrangement, and we reach a state of trust that much sooner.
Perpetual improvement, phased implementation, collaborative
involvement, scheduled follow up and value based pricing...
...just a few more reasons why you’ll enjoy working with REVOLVE.
Revolve Business Consulting Ltd. was started in response to
our observation that many companies seeking help, are either
ignored by large consulting firms, or are offered generic,
pre-fabricated solutions.
In contrast, Revolve’s focus is the organization needing customized
service and personalized approach.
Why other consultants think we're crazy...
Its a not-so-big secret that most consultants seek to make you dependent on their involvement. Most want long contracts and dole out their expertise sparingly, so you rely on their presence.
We started this company with an aim to offer something
different: a service that rejected the “addicted client”
model. At Revolve, we teach as we go, passing on our
knowledge to benefit the client for years to come, allowing
you to keep improving and remain independent.
Why we scare other consultants...
Making you a stronger, more independent client won’t guarantee us more money and will mean you won't need us in the future... so why do we do it? (this is the point our competitors attack us on constantly…) Simple. We believe that our commitment to a "learning client" demonstrates true integrity, builds stronger relationships and leads to trust.
When you feel we have your best interests at heart, we will be your choice when new problems arise. When you know that we are genuine, you'll refer us to friends you think we can help.
That’s how we plan to build our business.
