We help organizations achieve measurable personal and professional business growth
We are driven by the IR core belief: customer-centric insight is the truest source of growth. We are a dynamic, fast-moving global organization and believe that value is created and delivered by partnering with talented, creative, accomplished, curious, inclusive, driven, and kind professionals; our entire value creation process supports and reflects this spirit.
A wide reach that spans the globe
Our global network of experienced practitioners services any timezone in a wide variety of languages. We deliver projects both remotely and onsite.
How we measure success
Whether they be quantitative or qualitative in nature, all of our projects begin by defining an end goal that includes measurable KPIs. Whenever possible, we prefer to measure before and after engagements to demonstrate impact and value created. In simple terms, we put our words into action; we strive to walk the talk. If arriving at an ROI is unrealistic or unreasonable, we like to establish and measure an agreed upon Return-on-Expectation. We also utilize a Kirkpatrick-inspired model to measuring training impact.
