Discover our SNAP advisory playbook in 12 to 16 weeks

Unique team approach:  The right mix of skills for the desired results - our Lead Manager takes overall accountability working on the project, supported by a full-time high caliber Apprentice Consultant (coached by the Dream Team of trainers and mentored by both StraNexus and client executives).  Our Senior Advisory Council of seasoned executives and industry experts further enhance the project results, quality and delivery.

Participatory approach:  Clearly defined objectives and deliverables.  Our experience has consistently been that the most successful projects are those where there is a partnership between the consultant and the client, each contributing their knowledge and expertise, bearing complementary roles.  This ensures that there is a balance between the infusion of external expertise and process skills, but the results are “owned” by the client.  To that effect we help select client ‘process champions’ and work with them in a structured manner to do knowledge transfer.

Why Industrial Engineering:  Proven industrial engineering methodologies and tools deployed in a participatory manner, coupled with our unique techniques create inherent buy-in and drive improvements in people, process and technologies.  Fact-based solutions start with fact based data gathering.  The apprentice program has grown from industrial engineering and related disciplines.

Driving results:  Prioritizing fact-based solutions in an opportunity and savings matrix.  

Setting things in motion: Get traction by rolling out quick wins, proof-of-concepts and pilots where possible.

Project outcomes: Organizational buy-in, Tangible results, Practical knowledge transfer and a Knowledge worker!

Highly structured program:  While we have introduced a handful of elements of this program above, there are a lot of other factors that go into making this high-intensity project a huge success for almost a decade.  Find out how your organization can take advantage of this unique partnership.

Why are we doing this:  When hiring university graduates in the consulting and operational world, we realized that while they were academically sound and had a lot of energy and passion to make a difference, they were falling flat and it took anywhere from 3 to 5 years after graduation for them to truly understand how to implement a project successfully.  That is a long period of time!  True to the meaning of our name (strategic connections and win-win scenarios) and our values, we created SNAP as a high-intensity intake process to fast track the candidates learnings.  Through a proven track record we have zeroed in on what key skill sets are required to deliver successful projects with sustainable results.  We needed help to make this happen, so we partnered with some of the best experts in North America and Europe in Industrial Engineering, Strategy, People Skills, Buy-in, Body Language, Innovation, and Delivery of tangible actions.  SNAP has now evolved where it is a great relationship builder with our clients where they get to see tangible results delivered at half our consulting rates, a phenomenal intake process for us, and sometimes even for our clients.
