Less is More

The government keep telling us - this is now the time of austerity...well Ok but do stop banging in about it.

We - like most companies had to put our hard hats on in 2009 and adapt in order to survive and prosper.One of the positive outcomes of those hard times (they do say every cloud has a silver lining!) is that we are now delivering hard hitting , high impact team building and people development activities for a truly diverse cross section of clients - but with less than a third of the in house resource we had in 2008 meaning we can remain much more cost effective than many of our competitors.

So what's changed?

Well for a start we have really focussed on the way we use associates - making sure they are qualified, insured as appropriate, available and have experience and track record within the relevant sector.

We also make sure that there is a best fit. We consider carefully which associates we are going to put forward for any job taking on board not just qualification and experience but also the less scientific but supremely important other factors such as shared interests, geographical proximity, psychometric profile, empathy, communication style etc....

We work very hard to get to know and understand our clients and we vigourously support these relationships to build partnership status with our clients.

So far so good as 2010 is proving to be a great year for us and our clients ..... see below the feedback we just received from our most recent team-building event last week

"The aeroplane challenge was brilliant, as you know we did ours outside the room and the intensity and concentration of people when I went in the room was amazing and you could tell by the presentations how well the teams were involved and committed to the challenge.

I was going to email you today and thank you for everything, including you help throughout the day, couldn’t have asked for more and it was massively appreciated – Thank You

Would definitely use you again if/when we do this type of thing"
