Brands You Trust Have Trusted Us
Our Approach
The traditional “consulting business model” is not designed with middle-market clients in mind.
Ours is.
Consulting firms historically employ a heavy cadre of highly paid full-time consultants. Their offices often occupy prestigious addresses. This large fixed expense base results in pressures for consulting firms to sell multi-person “teams” of “that” talent at “those” rates. Unlike the Fortune 500, most middle-market firms do not have the scale and budgets to absorb the size of investment and create compelling ROI, especially on a risk-adjusted basis.
The EBITDA Catalyst approach is focused on exceptional results, with lower footprint and higher flexibility to scale to your needs. Call us “nimble catalysts” … “traditional consultants” are the other guys.
Here’s how we’re different:
Just-In-Time Staffing
We Do:
- Start projects with only one consultant wherever possible
- Add resources when incremental ROI is compelling
- Leverage an outstanding network of freelance consultants
We don’t:
- Bring in “a full team” of consultants (fees) on Day 1
- See “your needs” through the lens of ROI on our payroll
- Expect your teams’ priorities fall in the “orbit” of our project
Distributed Talent Network
We Do:
- Bring in specialized freelancers to save you money
- Sub-contract exactly the talent you need, for the time you need it
- Build trust with our network before your project needs them
We don’t:
- Drive up rates by limiting you to expensive full-time consultants
- Front-load activity (fees) because “(our) time is money”
- Believe in limiting your options to a small talent pool
