Client Fit
Our experience suggests we best fit clients who:  

Want the
professional "fillet"
  The small focused, efficient contributing team without the burden of bureaucratic overheads.
   
Have smart people who want
to work with smart people
A resource that can command the respect of the most capable people, and provide valuable expertise and active leadership.
   
Are skeptical of "magic bullets"
and "insurance premiums"
Those who don't believe—despite the promises—that there's a simple answer to unique needs that's just hiding in an off-the-shelf solution, or that just spending more guarantees something will work.
   
Have hard, complex,
multifaceted challenges
Where the real solution is hidden in finding the unique combination that creates unique value that markets crave and competitors don't—and may never—"get."
   
Have cost and
time pressures
The need to get it right, and fast; to do just the things that need doing, and to do them efficiently.
   
Demand
accountability
Eliminating the finger pointing between research, strategy, planning and execution "silos."
