Dan Light’s Summary

Are you a professional services contractor or integrator that has watched projects go down the tubes for lack of a solution that’s just beyond your reach? It happens to all of us. We get too close to the problem to see the solution. Albert Einstein believed that the mind that created the problem couldn’t solve it. That’s where I come in. Sometimes new, unencumbered eyes see what’s been right under your nose.

Several of my clients have experienced a 95% reduction in the cost of under performing business systems, a multiplier of 20 or better. In short, for every dollar they spend they get a $20 ROI.

One professional service firm dodged a 62% cost overrun on a database management contract. Another avoided disbarment after the money had been spent without creating the required products. A provider of durable medical goods was able to complete their inventory and close their books on time for the first time in the company’s history.

The services that achieved these results are available to you:

• Planning
• Post Merger Integration
• Organizational Assessment
• Cycle Time Reduction
• Requirements Identification
• Change Management
• Coaching
• Proposals and Project Management
