We Don't Do IT . . . Not Anymore . . .

We Don't Do IT . . . Not Anymore . . .

In the early years of our company, we specialized in information technology. We were actually quite good at it. And proud of our work.

But one day, back in 1978 I think, we had a rude wakening. We read a study which showed that installing IT systems produced only negligible ROI's and marginal improvements (about 3 or 4%) in client profits. While those findings were for the industry as a whole, we did not want to be guilty of the same thing. Low ROI's are embarrassing.

So we researched.

We found that there was a small minority of companies who experienced something very different, a 30% to 40% increase in profits. Something had enabled them to leverage the capabilities of their IT systems to huge effect. And that something was NOT in the IT systems. It was something that had happened separately within the Operating Dynamic of the companies themselves.

So we added the capability to trigger those changes. (We had to create it from scratch.) And then we realized that the changes could achieve huge ROI's and remarkable profit improvements all on their own. ROI's of ten and twenty to one are to be expected. Sometimes they are truly remarkable.

So that is what we specialize in now.

Last year McKinsey and London School of Economics (LSE) issued a report on their multi-year study of 100 companies, chosen at random: What we discovered more than twenty years ago, they now validate.

The bottom-line rewards of changing key elements of the operating dynamic are (academically) buried within the report. However, we have excerpted them for you here: Companies Increase Financial Returns.

How we do this work is very different from traditional approaches. And consequently difficult to communicate clearly in writing; it really has to be seen. So if you would like to know how this might benefit your company , please contact us at info@managementconsultants.com or call 847-599-9960. We will be happy to speak with you. No strings; we know this is not for everyone.

Of course we have tried to describe our process in writing: Articles on it can be accessed on our web at Publications.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real income.
It gets down to select a correct partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

You may get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
