Frequently Asked Question
How is advisory different from implementation services?
Advisory focuses on decision-making and strategy helping you determine what to do, selecting right solutions, planning approaches, avoiding mistakes. Implementation focuses on execution actually building, configuring, deploying solutions. Many clients engage us for advisory first, then separately for implementation. Or advisory might guide implementation by different vendors/internal teams. We clearly separate advisory (unbiased recommendations) from implementation (execution) to maintain objectivity.
Do you implement recommendations or just advise?
Both, depending on your preference and needs. We can provide pure advisory (you implement with internal teams or other vendors) or advisory + implementation (we guide and execute). For pure advisory, we remain vendor-neutral recommending any solution, even competitors. For advisory + implementation, we’re transparent about our capabilities and recommend ourselves only when genuinely optimal fit. Many clients use phased approach: advisory first, then implementation decision after seeing recommendations.
What if we disagree with your recommendations?
Healthy disagreement is normal and welcome. Our role is providing informed perspective backed by research and experience but you know your business best. When disagreements arise, we:
(1) Ensure we’ve understood your position fully,
(2) Clarify our reasoning and evidence,
(3) Explore alternative approaches,
(4) Document trade-offs clearly,
(5) Support your final decision regardless. You always make final decisions; we ensure they’re informed by objective analysis.
How do we know your advice is truly independent?
Several mechanisms ensure independence:
(1) No vendor partnerships or commissions, we don’t benefit from specific recommendations,
(2) Transparent methodology—our analysis process is clear and verifiable,
(3) Multiple options, we present alternatives rather than single solutions,
(4) Client references speak to past clients about our objectivity,
(5) Written commitment our proposals explicitly state independence. If vendor bias concerns you, request pure advisory (no implementation) ensuring complete separation.
What's the typical ROI of advisory services?
ROI varies significantly by engagement type. Technology selection advisory preventing wrong vendor choice can save millions (typical client saves 5-15x advisory fees avoiding mistakes). Strategy development accelerating transformation timelines creates time-to-value benefits. Implementation oversight reducing failure risk protects investments (digital project failure rates exceed 60%). Conservative estimate: advisory services deliver 3-10x ROI through combination of cost avoidance, faster time-to-value, and better outcomes. We can model expected ROI during proposal phase.
