“You don't get the best out of people by hitting them with an iron rod. You do so by gaining their respect, getting them accustomed to triumphs and convincing them that they are capable of improving their performance.”

-Sir Alex Ferguson

Services

Program & Project Leadership

Our sweet spot is providing experienced, business and politically savvy consultants to lead your most strategic and complex initiatives. More than project management, our leadership consultants bring the intangibles to “read the room” at each client, tailor plans and approach, navigate politically sensitive environments, communicate effectively at all levels, and ultimately deliver results. We provide a clear, candid voice to management about what it takes to accomplish their strategic goals and serve as the partner to help get them there.

Project Management

For projects that need a steady hand at the helm, our project managers are grounded in the fundamentals of scope, schedule, and budget management. We can adapt these skills within our client’s specific PMO environment and help to right-size the approach that fits each project’s needs.

Change Management

We understand that organizational change is constant and rapid, meaning change management is not a one-time or independent event. Whether we are leading large, complex projects or helping our clients restructure their organization, we build change management into every engagement we deliver and every project we manage.

Strategy & Advisory

We pride ourselves on serving as a thought partner to our client executives. This is a service we typically earn with our clients after serving in execution-oriented roles while gaining insights into how things work at the organization and what it takes to get things done. For example, we may advise and participate in strategic planning efforts, help shape priority initiatives, or provide insights and guidance on organizational development planning.

Managed Services & Staff Augmentation

Leveraging both our network of independent consultants and our high-quality staffing partners, we can build efficient teams for functions such as software testing or setting up and staffing your Project Management Office (PMO).

Our Model

We believe our business model is a win-win for both our clients and our consultants, while also riding the coat tails of gig economy trends like independent consulting and remote work. To staff client engagements, we tap into our healthy network of experienced, proven independent consultants with a range of expertise and industry experience. And because we don’t manage the expense of a bench or have the overhead of a traditional consulting firm, our clients get top talent at a fraction of the big x bill rates. For our network of Overlap independent consultants, they get access to great client engagements and the freedom and flexibility to choose the assignments that work best for them.
