A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear Client or
Prospective Client:
I want to thank you for
considering our firm for your project. We know that our success
is dependent upon delivering high quality business solutions that
contribute to your success. Over many years we have consistently
focused on providing the highest levels of consulting expertise to
our select group of clients so that their success becomes our
success. We hope you will allow us to work with you in achieving
our common objective.
As a management
consultant of more than 20 years I have seen the consulting
industry grow and evolve in many new directions as new
technologies and methods of doing business emerge. However, since
our formation in 1995, the core mission of Kennedy Consulting has
not changed – “to select high caliber individuals to do excellent
work on important projects”.
We have all heard the
horror stories of failed consulting projects and large budgets
spent without achievement of any real results. At Kennedy
Consulting we do not expect our projects to be without challenge –
in fact, we recognize these challenges as our opportunity to excel
– but we do adhere to some fundamental principles that we believe
are critical to project success:
1.
Top management support - organizations can be
resistant to the changes involved in introducing any new method of
working. The visible and consistent commitment of senior
management is necessary to encourage adherence to new methods and
processes. We request an appropriate level of senior management
participation on every project.
2.
Working in joint teams - our experience in working
on many projects has proved to us that the full involvement of
management and staff in the development of plans and the design of
new processes and systems is essential for the work to have
lasting value. In addition, client staff derive benefit from
being involved in the work of our consultants who are experts in
their fields.
3.
Management of change - moving to a new process or
system can be painful for existing members of staff, especially
those who have been with the organization for many years. It is
important that all staff are sufficiently informed, motivated and
trained for the project to succeed. Change management, involving
a high degree of communication with affected management and staff,
is an essential ingredient in all of our projects.
4.
Rewards for success - a significant reward for
success is the recognition of a job well done. We recognize
client staff and consultants alike for the contribution they make
to our projects.
Over the years, our
adherence to these four principles has allowed us to chart a
course to achievement of project objectives and capture of
intended benefits. We want our experience and capabilities to
make the same contribution to your project. I am confident that
you will enjoy working with us as much as we enjoy working with
all of our clients.
Sincerely,
Jim Kennedy
President
Kennedy Consulting LLC
