At Integra Strategies, We believe …
- You know your business, your people, and your mission better than anyone else.
- Humbleness and curiosity are powerful business tools. We will learn from you and you, in turn, from us.
- Your success is more important than ours because yours must come first,
- We MUST add value far beyond the payment for our services.
- We will help you find the right expertise, even if it isn’t us.
- The work is hard… Working with us shouldn’t be!
Partnerships:
- At Integra Strategies, we see our role as being less a consultant and more a partner. Our business relationships are measured in decades, not billable hours. We want our expertise and creativity to be our differentiators and we want to instill independence in our clients, not build their dependence on us.
- We are not trying to be everything to everyone. And we are not a fit for every organization or executive. We are fine with that.
Client Acceptance: We only accept clients when…
- We believe deeply that we can help you and your organization.
- We ethically support the work.
- Our passion aligns with your mission and needs.
Payment:
- Most consulting firms charge by the hour (or by the day but let’s be honest… isn’t that the same thing.)
- While we do offer hourly and/or daily billing, we feel there are more sophisticated and efficient arrangements that encourage true partnership.
- Shouldn’t your partner be incentivized to produce the outcomes you need? Why shouldn’t your consulting partner have “skin in the game” for your success?
- We are open to more creative “value-based” compensation structures where we get paid a portion of the financial value we deliver to you. These can include a percentage of savings, a percentage of new revenue, a portion of improved efficiency, or a combination.
- In short, we believe that we should only do well when you do well!
- We can explore options once we have clearly understood your needs.
