UNIQUE PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE
»
The best leaders, educators, and consultants
do not try to do your job for you; they teach you how
to do a better job on your own. We will work with your
team to produce a solution that you are both willing and
able to implement and/or help your team develop the skills
it needs to implement the appropriate solution. What makes
our practice most unique and powerful is our ability to
transfer our knowledge and expertise to you in
order to enhance your in-house capability, thereby maximizing
both results and sustainability.
»
Another unique feature of our method of
consultation is the identification of quick wins
at each stage of the consultation. This ensures that each
stage of the consultation pays for itself above and beyond
the achievement of the project's overarching objectives.
»
We also kick off most consulting projects
with a brief overview session to provide your team with
the main ideas, tools, and techniques they will need to
run the project on their own. This overview enables you
to "test drive" the quality of our ideas
and tools before committing to a longer-term consultation
arrangement. It also helps you assess more accurately
how long into the project you will need our consultant.
»
An Advanture consultant can participate
on your project team as a team leader, team member, facilitator,
research assistant, or coach, depending on your needs.
We are also happy to assist you with any aspect or stage
of the project, from needs assessment and discovery to
solution design and implementation.
