It depends on the work. Typically, we see positive ROI well into the double-digits. There is substantial cost and time savings with Resource Fidelity™.
- But wait, if someone is only working part-time, how can they be as productive as a full-time person?
Our experience has been that our Resource Fidelity™ team members are so highly skilled, experienced, and productive that we have performed better than internal teams. In fact, an example of this is a client who wants us to build and deliver all their new products/initiatives with our resources given our contribution to their revenue and product with a fantastic ROI.
- How are you any different from other companies offering this service?
The quality of our resources, a proactive approach with great leadership that matches teams/individuals with companies in a great way. Our values as a company are mutual respect, honesty, and integrity. Many companies have great values. We truly live them, and they flow through to how we treat each other and our clients.
- How are these resources led?
What works best is having an internal sponsor, who is a full-time employee of the company. Then we take one of our leaders, work works with your internal sponsor to ensure expectations are set, accomplishments are achieved, and your satisfaction is the top priority. We can share our model with you. It is unique.
- How long of a commitment is this?
Typically, we start with a 3-month term. Beyond that we can work with you to determine the right period/length of engagement.
