Why Tangentia?

Tangentia's ability to work with mid-sized companies and provide value based solutions has not just endeared Tangentia to those Small and Mid Sized companies but many Fortune 500 customers as well have begun to see the value in getting more for their consulting dollar. Our consulting credo is " we dont get paid for the hour, but for the value we deliver during the hour".  Some of the common reasons companies hire Tangentia consultants include

1. Staff augmentation: Companies often have short to medium-term staffing needs due to a variety of factors (eg, recent downsizings, sudden expansion). Consultants in this situation “plug a hole” for the company by filling the role of full-time employees.

2. External change force: It can be hard for companies to do what’s right-particularly when it comes to job changes, salary and benefit changes/reduction, major operational and strategic shifts. Hiring Tangentia consultants can be a way to reach the desired conclusions with easy buy-in internally.

3. Best practices across industries and functions (eg, organization, supply chain): Tangentia consultants have the rare privilege of:

• Serving multiple clients in the same sector (eg, Beverages, Enterprise Software)
• Serving multiple clients facing similar problems across different sectors (eg, Latin American    expansion, Southeast Asia outsourcing)

This enables them to recognize common attributes of effective solutions, applying lessons learned in applicable situations.

4. Analytical horsepower: A corollary to staff augmentation, companies sometimes need help solving issues and executing strategies where their skillsets and knowledge are insufficient. Tangentia consultants can be of great value given their training and capabilities.

5. Fresh perspective: Companies often need a fresh set of eyes – you’d be amazed at the amount of value Tangentia consultants can add based on the most mundane observations and insights. For front-line client employees, it can be easy to fall into daily routines without a critical eye towards measurement, analysis, and improvement.

6. Training and skill set augmentation: Every consulting project – particularly ones with heavy client interaction incorporates client training as a major ingredient. The best recommendations are worthless if clients can’t implement and maintain suggested changes. Thus, a large part of what Tangentia consultants do is educate client employees on necessary knowledge, skills, and mindsets.
