Ilan Gutman Consulting

APPROACH

With an end-to-end offering, we have a unique ability to seamlessly move between the macro strategy and the finest details of technical implementation

Understand the problem

Sometimes you know exactly what you need. Other times you know there's a problem, but you're not quite sure how to fix it. Regardless of the type of project or how well defined it may be, all engagements begin with a deep-dive on:

How your business makes money - a bank is clearly different to a retailer, but two banks may have vastly different business models and success drivers. We take the time to understand what makes you different
Your strategy - the interdependencies and mechanics of your business (how it makes money) only provide a point-in-time view of your business. Your strategy adds the critical third dimension of time
What success looks like - this is where we begin to translate how your business makes money and your strategy into how to extract the most value from our engagement
Your constraints - we have a track record of delivering functional and innovative solutions in short timeframes without the need to rely on expensive software

‍

Develop the solution

Once the problem has been clearly defined, work begins on the deliverables. While we rely on tried and tested concepts and frameworks, every solution starts with a blank page in recognition of the fact that no two businesses are the same.

During development, we work with the following principles:

Simplifying complexity - the foundational layer of any solution will be sophisticated, nuanced, and fully representative of your business. However, the end-user's view will be simple and intuitive, abstracting the detail away so that your team can easily and quickly extract value
Co-creation - our development philosophy involves client collaboration from start to finish. In addition to contributing to a leaner and more efficient development process, this also leads to more engaging and higher-value solutions
Longevity - while some projects will only require ad-hoc analysis or point-in-time insights, each solution is built to evolve and grow with the business
Usability - we create solutions using software that can be found on any computer. Whether you are a collaborator during development or an end-user after implementation, this allows for cost effective, rapid deployment at scale

‍

Align the team

It's one thing to uncover insights, set a strategy, or make a plan. But leveraging that insight, implementing a strategy, or executing a plan is in many ways the hardest part.

We have extensive experience conceptualising, designing and facilitating workshops that upskill workers and catalyse and embed change. In helping to align your team:

End-to-end consistency - we take complete ownership of the problem and solution. We are first and foremost business consultants, and will bring an intricate understanding of how your business works and its strategy to his facilitation approach. This allows us to develop rapport and trust with participants, and a genuine comfort with the content
Experiential - enabled by innovative and engaging technology, we design experiences where participants will learn by doing rather than simply being told. This creates impact and a level of personal ownership and accountability that is far more likely to lead to lasting change
Personable - our facilitation style benefits from a deep understanding of the business context. This creates a level of authenticity that allows him to be seen as a peer, rather than a facilitator
Macro and micro lens - our ability to to switch between the strategic and technical lenses allows us to find common ground and build trust with any participant, whether they are a bigger picture thinker or a 'numbers person'
