Management Consulting 

Veracity specializes in providing strategic and practical advice to those in charge of running a business.

As business becomes more complex, firms are continually faced with new challenges. Business leadership increasingly relies on management consultants to help them remain competitive amidst these changes.

Veracity management consultants analyze and propose ways to improve an organization’s structure, efficiency, or profits.  We do not promote buzzwords or the latest fads, but we do believe in "business basics".  Management fads like TQM, MBO, Learning Organizations, Excellence, and even Six Sigma are nothing more than marketing hype.  All of them do have some roots to basic management principles that should be followed anyway.  Sticking to basics and understanding the fundamentals while always questioning the status quo and looking for ways to improve is what makes companies great... not superficially jumping on the next management fad bandwagon.    Both public and private organizations use consultants for a variety of reasons. Some lack the internal resources needed to handle a project, while others need a consultant’s expertise to determine what resources will be required and what problems may be encountered if they pursue a particular opportunity.

In all cases, Veracity consultants collect, review, and analyze information in order to make recommendations to business leaders.

Veracity consultants first listen, understand your business, your goals, and the obstacles you face.  We then define the nature and extent of the problem or issue. During this phase, relevant data to the project is analyzed which may include financial statements, employment records, expenditures, etc—and interview managers and employees while observing their operations. We then develop solutions to the problem. While preparing our recommendations, we take into account the nature of your organization, the relationship it has with others in the industry, and its internal organization and culture.

Once we have devised a course of action, we report our findings and recommendations to you, the client. These suggestions usually are submitted in writing, but oral presentations regarding findings also are common. Depending on the project and course of action Veracity is often retained to help implement the suggestions we have made.
