                        Benchmarks to help focus our work, enhancing our value for money for clients and enhancing our ability to pinpoint solutions | 
                      
                      
                        >>  | 
                        Rigorous ‘devil’s advocate’ analysis that subjects our findings and recommendations to testing of alternative hypotheses to create a reliable foundation for action and results | 
                      
                      
                        >>  | 
                        Timely – and sometimes simultaneous – implementation of findings to accelerate results, using techniques such as ‘rapid prototyping’  |

                        Also, in contrast with many other firms, our seasoned partners drive the day-to-day work personally, working closely with client leadership, often on-site.   A small team of consultants provides real-time analytic support under the direct supervision of the partner. |
