3.2 OUR APPROACH AND WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
It is our policy and practice to provide exceptionally high value project results, rapidly, while utilizing best
consulting methods that easen projects minimize consulting expense or elongate project time frames. We do
not crowd our clients with multiple consultants because you deserve to have consulting support from
individuals who are broadly experienced business people, rather than many consultants who cover for each
other's inexperience or inability.
Our business is structured for efficiency, responsiveness and positive client results. We respond to client
requests rapidly and always on the same day, no matter where we are or what is required of us to respond.
Each individual in our firm is measured and paid on a project basis rather than on their "billable hours" or
revenue generation. As a result we do not practice the common consulting techniques of adding profit
margins to project expenses, assigning several consultants to do what one consultant should be able and
expected to do, charging for travel time or for any form of communication, or billing a "minimum" amount
for anything. Nearly all of our business operations costs, for instance, are booked through a business
consolidator, which saves our clients 25 to 55 percent on our Consultancy expenses when compared with
other consulting firms. Said another way, “if it will not affect your bottom line positively and traceably, we
will not do it”.
Organizations are defined by how purposefully and fittingly they change. Because "change" is more peaceful
and more successful when it comes from within an organization, our consultant will work with your staff to
create only necessary change, from within your organization. Because we do not employ proposal writers,
the Leadership Strategies consultant who proposes your project will have actually written your proposal. He
or she will also be the consultant who performs the project, with very limited exceptions. This approach to
our engagements causes solutions to occur more quickly, at lower cost, and with longer lasting results.
We develop and implement non-radical solutions to your biggest people and operating challenges only after
thoroughly understanding your needs and determining whether we have the skill to solve them. If we do not,
we will quickly find someone who can. We generally work on a retained or project basis and our success
come exclusively from giving you and your company solutions to your most pressing people and financial
challenges…quickly. Period.

"Elimination of operating and human internal roadblocks, with dramatic improvement to our margins, is
precisely what occurred within six months after they helped us with our many organizational structure and
reward system design opportunities."
Technical Director,
Spin Knit Ltd. and Corporate Smarts Client
Elimination of operating and human roadblocks...
“The positive impact that the Corporate Smarts team has made within our organization quickly and without
an endless body count has been amazing!”
--C.E.O. of a Corporate Smarts client company

inception, nearly 97% of our business comes from referrals.”

6.0 OUR FEES
Nearly all of our work is covered under either a fixed project fee or on a retained services basis. Our fees
which are inclusive of all charges are clearly outlined in our detailed proposal to the clients, enabling them to
know exactly what they will be charged in advance. Nearly 80% of our project engagements are undertaken
by either one or two of our exceptionally skilled consultants. We do not assign excess consultants to a
client‟s challenges and we do not charge an organization extra for what one consultant should know and be
skilled enough to do. 97% of our consulting projects are completed on time or ahead of schedule.
In other words, we deliver and exceed on our clients‟ expectations while giving them maximum returns and
value for their investments.
Much of our local and international assignments, for instance, are consolidated, which usually saves our
clients between 25 and 55 percent on business expenses when compared with other consulting firms. Many
of our clients now prefer us over our competitors for our use of the consolidated, customized products and
services. No extra consultants, no extra expenses, no endless projects and no unplanned costs are the means
by which we manage our projects and our relationships with our clients, creating much greater value for our
clients and a much more positive reaction to the term “consultant”.
