Selecting A Management Consulting Firm
A message from the CEO of Method Frameworks
When
your organization’s core purpose for existing is to make positive
contributions to your client’s business operations, you must have a
consulting team behind you that is passionately driven towards the goal
of unlocking every client’s true potential to plan and execute better as
a result of our services. Our success hinges on the inherit
understanding that every organization is unique in some way and must be
approached with solutions tailored to their distinctive needs and
designed to achieve their desired business key outcomes.
That
challenge requires the team at Method Frameworks to always put our
client’s needs ahead of our own. In business planning and execution,
while there are similarities across industries and planning disciplines -
there is no “one size fits all”. Our clients expect more from us than
that. Likewise, we have been selective over the years about choosing
which clients we take on - accepting only those that we feel actually
want and need our help and will be receptive and open to our
recommendations for improvement.
If you are visiting our site and
considering soliciting consulting help for your organization, I urge
you to conduct a thorough comparative analysis of the companies you are
considering. It is important when selecting a firm that you choose one
that respects your organization’s culture, core values, structural
hierarchy and processes. While changes may be called for in any of
those respective areas, a true understanding of your organization and
the issues that are affecting performance must be gained in advance of
changes to strategy, business model or processes. Without this
understanding, successful implementation of new strategies, models or
business process changes may be misdirected and focus singularly on the
symptoms rather than root cause.
Your chosen consulting
organization should do more than just serve your immediate needs. Your
consultant should be seeking to provide you, as a client, with long
lasting value in terms of the following:
- Delivering long-range strategy that can and will be successfully and fully "operationalized" (tactically planned) throughout your business
- Ensuring critical knowledge transfer / training occurs between the consulting team and your staff
- Delivering realistic but challenging performance improvements and ensuring that they are “institutionalized” within your business so that they do not fade away once the consultants leave
- Doing everything possible to help you achieve and maintain operational excellence
Call us today to discuss your planning needs.
Sincerely,
Joe Evans
President and CEO

We will provide you with a pre-engagement questionnaire to complete which helps us do a "fit" of our Plan4 process to your organizational requirements. Our Plan4SM process is a comprehensive strategic planning framework, and not all aspects of Plan4 are required for every client. Therefore, we work diligently to fit our process to your unique situation and develop a Statement of Work that is tailored to match your needs, budget and timeframe.
Every aspect is reviewed and confirmed to ensure that you will get everything you are expecting and that we will have a completely satisfied client.

seeking investors for global finance opportunity
- Phoenix Global Funding, Inc. is a Global Commercial Loan Brokerage, Merchant Bank, and a Business Consulting Firm that can work on commercial deals of all sizes. Our greatest strengths are revealed through our superior internet interface and our extensive private network of lenders and equity partners with which we can service any company on the planet by having the ability to broker and coordinate mergers, acquisitions, and funding of all kinds. As a full service commercial financial conduit we also provide valuation, business management, and profitability consulting. I am offering common stock ownership in Phoenix Global Funding, Inc. It is exciting to be in a position to be able to share not only ownership but profit in this latest project. Our business plan was developed from the oldest, most reliable and the most profitable business model ever created, LENDING. This is all about what the big boys do on Wall Street everyday. We are raising US$1,000,000.00 with share prices starting at $1.00. The exit strategy is in 3 years with a minimum 3 to 1 return on capital, plus a 20% profit share annually.
Ryerson or McMaster?
- It's true McMaster probably does have a better reputation than Ryerson but after you graduate I don't think when you go to an interview the deciding factor will ever be the university you went to.
At least that was true in my case. I went to Ryerson and did their Technology/Business Program. I was employed the very next day after graduation not because of my grades (though that helps during co-op) or the fact that I went to Ryerson but because of what I brought to the table in terms of experience (part-time jobs I held while in school), social skills (verbal and written) and my goals.
Since 2003 I've worked in Marketing, Content Management and Consulting.
The Marketing program at Ryerson has some good classes and topics within it but entreprenuer on your resume if you plan on getting a job after graduation is going to be a tough one. BUT you can get around it by focusing on the classes you've taken and how you can apply them to any business.
I believe true Entreprenuership can't be learnt in a classroom by a Professor who's never been an entreprenuer (not saying the profs at Ryerson were never an entrepreneurs - some of mine were). It has to be learnt in the field.
If your move to Ryerson means you will be out of school faster, can take a 3 month vacation (which I missed out on but am planning for next summer) and then get a job or start your own thing then it sounds like a good deal to me BUT you need to decide.

Which kind of industries are you interested in?
