We've been on both sides of the fence when it comes to consulting. And as much as we have learned about what good consulting looks, feels, and smells like, we've seen the bad side too. Sometimes the bad experiences help to shape the kind of company and culture a place has even more than the good experiences.
Our approach to projects, clients, employees, and the environment is the same - respect. "The Golden Rule" is as important today as ever. We find treating others with respect mitigates most engagement problems and sets the things we do up for success. Heck, we want our skills and our sunny dispositions to be the reasons you keep coming back to do business with us.
At Purple Elephant Consulting, we build everything on best practices. Typically, we aren't the first people to do something so why not leverage what they learned or perfected to kick things off. We also understand that best practice isn't always enough to get the job done; and while we usually don't think there are any unique flowers out there in the business world, the specifics around a company, a team, or an industry can really impact how we solve problems. So we always take a 'fit for purpose' approach to ensure what we deliver is impactful, not just filling a gap.
Need specifics on what we do all day? Check out our Services or shoot us a message and we'd be happy to brainstorm with you.
We've got over 15 years of experience in the project, process, change, and management consulting space and we use that depth and breadth to find the right solution, not just the most expensive.
Having worked in the oil and gas, midstream, support services, transportation, automotive, insurance, retail, real estate management, web, and healthcare spaces, we are pretty well prepared for whatever you throw at us.
In any good project or initiative, being able to identify quantitative goals and results is imperative to calling something a success or not. We start out EVERY engagement with quantitative success criteria to not only hold ourselves accountable, but also to help you shine within your company during and after the engagement.
It's true, we geek out about documentation. It's not the sexiest part of consulting but we know from experience that it can be the most valuable. We take pride in the quality and usefulness of our documentation and we hope you will too.
There is nothing we would recommend to our clients that we ourselves don't or wouldn't do. Looking at problems from many different perspectives allows us to provide recommendations we can stand behind. At PEC, it is important that our solutions actually move your business forward, not just talk about it.
We like to keep humor and humility at the forefront of everything we do. PEC is not the expert in ALL things and we have no problem saying that we don't know. But approaching obstacles as opportunities and not challenges helps us keep a positive, optimistic outlook as projects ebb and flow.
In this new Covid world we are living in, we understand and support many companies' decision to work remotely, especially contractors or consultants. But we also understand company's desire to 'get back to normal'. We currently offer remote and onsite support depending on what you need.
