STRATEGY ENGAGEMENTS

 

Engagement Focus

 

Our engagements with clients focus on strategic opportunity creation and the enhancement of our clients' competitiveness. 

 

We do not enage in cost or staff reduction projects, nor do we accept projects which serve internal political purposes only.

 

 

Client Engagement Model

 

We engage with our clients in structured projects characterized by a mutually agreed-on process, information, and documentation streams.  The majority of our projects run between two to six months, though some may last twelve or more months.

 

 

ICG Team Model

 

Each client enaggement is being staffed individually according to client requirements.  Engagements draw on at least one consultants and specific Advisory Board members and can include as much as a dozen ICG members in total.
