Frequently Asked Questions
Is it OK to accept poor performance‘ as ‘Business as Usual’?
No. Poor performance challenges inevitably compound e.g., cashflow, conflict, disruption.
Immediate action to achieve target benchmarks solves poor performance problems.
Can we achieve performance improvement without external consultants?
Yes, but only with major stakeholders’ agreement on non-value adding activities and by overcoming existing barriers to change. Quality consultants have a plan to add value and manage change to improve performance.
Can we afford external consultants?
Return on investment (ROI) is a key selection criterion. Skilled performance improvement consultants pay for themselves. The cost-benefit of their recommendations extends beyond your performance improvement project.
Can we afford to engage the Blue Chip Consulting Group?
Poor performance is costly and can be terminal. BCCG scope projects against agreed baselines for clients of diverse sizes in diverse industries. If we cannot deliver benefits greater than your investment, we recommend against proceeding or early termination.
Are Blue Chip Consulting Group fees based on results?
No. Fees are agreed on engagement to deliver value through BCCG consultant’s recommendations. Your major stakeholders, not external consultants, decide the implementation agenda and timelines.
