CONSULTING ENGAGEMENTS

Peer Group “Best Practices” Staffing and Organizational Assessment – This landmark project for a corporate client was based on 30-minute telephone interviews we personally conducted with “Chief Communications Officers” at a selection of Fortune 50 companies. Topics included CCO’s title, internal and external communications challenges, reporting relationships, staff size and functional coverage, communications planning/business strategy linkages, key internal and external communications challenges, business unit communications support, training programs, and CCO background. The study was client-proprietary and participants received an Executive Summary of the results. We have conducted industry-specific studies of this nature as well.

Talent Pipeline Development and “Bench Strength” Building – We have worked with corporate and agency clients to identify and develop talent “pipelines” of uniquely qualified candidates to access for future hiring needs. Corporations find this useful when they are anticipating future staffing in a new, or expanded, functional area or when they want to shorten the hiring cycle. Public relations agencies have used this service to identify outside talent and build bench strength in targeted business franchises or product categories.

Peer Group Staffing and Compensation Studies – These are useful when a client wishes to evaluate the relative salary costs of recruiting from different geographic regions or across industries; determining the cost of building a new functional capability; or benchmarking staff compensation against that of industry peers.
