| What to Expect from Productivity Consulting Firms | Other Firms |
Thoughts | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experienced executives with diverse backgrounds and skills at your disposal, from the beginning of the project all the way through the successful execution of any recommended solution | Consulting firms will often offer this during the "pitch" phase and then leave you with more junior or inexperienced members of their team for the bulk of the project. At PREDICTIS, our experienced executives partner with you all the way through the execution of the solution. | ||
| Insights and action that will help you drive your business forward | Consulting firms get paid to offer you insight into potential areas for business improvement and recommend solutions for those opportunities. They usually stop short of the management and delivery of the solution. | ||
| To pay a fee for advice | Sometimes it may be necessary to pay for advice. At PREDICTIS we would rather that you pay for results. By results, we mean the successful management and execution of the solutions we recommend to you…solutions designed to improve your business productivity. | ||
| To pay a fee for someone who can manage and execute an impactful, low-risk solution. | Wouldn't you rather pay someone who will actually deliver the successful solution you seek vs. just providing more advice? That's what you get with PREDICTIS. | ||
| A FREE assessment of your system and supply chain challenges | You will pay no fees for our assessment of your core challenge area in your supply chain or sales process. We will provide you with a report called The PREDICTIS Productivity Enhancement Analysis, which is yours whether you decide to partner with PREDICTIS or not. | ||
| The ability to serve as your agent, who can acquire and manage outsourced talent to meet your business needs | Consulting firms may recommend outsourcing certain services or business functions but stop short of helping you acquire and manage the solution. | ||
| Long-term costly contract commitments | Outsourcing firms try to "lock" you in to long term commitments because it is in their best interest to do so. They work for the outsourcing company. At PREDICTIS, we work for YOU. We are your agent and partner. It is in our best interest to meet your needs, not the needs of the outsourcing firm. | ||
| High up-front fees if you would prefer short-term commitments with more flexibility | Outsourcing firms want to "lock" you in. If you want flexibility or to use their services at a variable rate, they often charge high up-front fees to make up the difference. At PREDICTIS, we work for YOU, so we have arranged relationships and contacts overseas who will work in a transactional manner with us. This means that you pay for exactly what you need, when you need it. We serve as your agent and partner, managing the process on your behalf, with your best interests in mind. | ||
| The organization that you hire should be aligned with your interests | Outsourcing firms are working for themselves. At PREDICTIS, we work for YOU. We are YOUR agent and will help you find, execute and manage the solution in a flexible, low-risk manner that will fit your budget. | ||
| The "PREDICTIS Pilot" orientation program, the no-fee/no-risk solution to assessing if our services are right for you | Outsourcing firms make you sign on the bottom line for long-term and/or costly commitments, "locking" you in before you know the quality of what you will get. At PREDICTIS, we let you try the service first, on us. Our business relationship begins only when you know what you will get and why, and that you are already satisfied with it. Our motto is "Deliver High-Impact, Low-Risk Solutions" for our clients. |
