| Positron's
Approach |
Traditional
Consulting Approach |
|
|
| 1. |
|
Positron's approach is based
on lean consulting wherein one experienced consultant
works one day a week
|
|
1. |
Traditional consulting involves
a team of 2-3 junior consultants working five
days a week |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. |
The result of
lean consulting is nominal burn rate for the client
allowing the assignment to be extended for long
durations (8-12 months) which is essential for
successful implementations |
|
2. |
Traditional consulting approach
leads to a significant burn rate for the client.
As a result assignments are shorter in duration
(3 months) and involve report submission |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Positron's work focuses on implementation keeping
in mind client readiness to change. As a result
Positron is willing to structure a part of its implementation
fee as success fee |
|
3. |
Traditional consultants usually
do not structure a success fee since they are
seldom involved in implementation assignments |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Positron encourages client teams to be involved
during the implementation process leading to greater
accountability |
|
4. |
There is limited client participation. Interaction
is limited to providing feedback on reports |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Each Positron consultant
is an entrepreneur with his/her payoff dependent
on client satisfaction and results. As a result
each consultant is highly driven |
|
5. |
Traditional consultants are
employees of a large setup with significant fixed
compensation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. |
Positron's cost base is very low (5% of turnover).
These savings are passed onto clients through a
nominal charge-out rate |
|
6. |
Traditional consulting firms have
a significant cost base (25% of turnover). These
costs are passed onto clients |
