Welcome to a new, comprehensive consulting business model.
The Solving Efeso way is different and perfectly aligned with the current business environment.

We have developed the model from the vision and belief that our role is to help our clients to address the issues in their complete value chains in a comprehensive manner by focusing the effort on achieving excellent results and capability building.

Our business model is matches clients’ needs since it is focussed more on the way to leverage consulting benefits than the report delivered. It is based on a tight, long term, mutually beneficial cooperation in “tandem” with our clients. This approach maximizes the value for money for the client and is in line with expectations clients have from consulting interventions.

This is different. It requires systems, organisation and a specific culture. And because it built on a human foundation it is not easy to replicate.

During our 30+ years of experience we have designed and maintained a very innovative system for knowledge capturing and development for the benefit of our clients. This system focusses on our original innovative solutions to business challenges our clients have faced and how we have developed these to very practical and implementable problem solving approaches and methods. This constitutes the base for our effective contribution in projects and is actively shared with our clients.

The fact that we are able to help our clients with the roll-out of a structured approach that can be tailor-made to their respective need is what leads clients with both local and global footprints to choose Solving Efeso as their consulting partner.

Key building blocks of our winning approach are our enduring Passion for Excellence, our ability to work as a global team, and our continuous effort to always delight our clients with new ways of thinking and doing, to achieve a lasting improvement in operational and financial results.

We are accelerating on our journey to achieve growth; we are attracting increased business volume with our seamless offer in “3 dimensions”: Strategy, Operational Excellence and Change Management.

We continuously raise the level of our core capabilities to be able to match current and future needs of our clients and prospective clients.

Through acquisitions in 2011 we have added 2 business generating elements to the portfolio;
- the Accelerated Solutions Lab (ASL) which according to a client compresses 6 months’ work into 3 days
- Brand strategy work through the acquisition and successive integration of Intuition

Additionally we are progressing in our quest for higher profitability; we have invested in our commercial skills, and are creating a business structure that is modelled around how we can best serve our clients. We have also taken a very close look at our cost base and have continued to make our organisation more efficient to serve our clients better.

All these concurrent activities give us the confidence that in 2012, as in 2011, we will continue on our growth journey to deliver on our promise of “Strategy in action”.
