About Us
WHO WE ARE
We are a consulting group dedicated to serving organizations to advance their vision and strategies in the most impactful way.
We help organizations deliver results and drive change set by their strategic priorities. Through our work, we aim to maximize the impact that organizations on the markets they serve.
We believe that looking at an organization from a Program Management perspective, rather than a functional view, gives you a unique VANTAGE point to understand key organizational capabilities needed to effectively accomplish your mission and goals.
We act as a trusted advisor to executives adhering to high ethical standards (aligned with industry-recognized professional bodies) as we provide services to our clients, and deal with colleagues and the public. See our Code of Conduct here.
OUR VANTAGE POINT
HOW WE CAN HELP
From our vantage point, programs are the means by which organizations fulfill their mission. How effective they are in delivering programs determines the impact they have on the markets they serve. We measure effectiveness in terms of:
- Efficiency – increasing productivity of resources (people and time)
- Cost – reducing cost by proper allocation and management of resources (people and money)
- Risk – minimizing risk by anticipating and mitigating any risks and issues that can negatively impact a program
Our Program Management services bring the structure, discipline, and accountability you need to improve your program effectiveness and accomplish your program’s goals with the highest impact.
Your programs should originate from, and align with your strategy. Your strategy sets your organization’s direction and priorities. Our Strategic Planning services bring frameworks, models, and methods to help you develop sound strategic plans. We ensure your programs are aligned with your strategy and directly support your strategic priorities.
Managing strategy and programs involves change in your organization. This can be relatively small where you need to adapt to your environment, or it requires you to transform in more substantive ways. Our Change Management services help move your programs forward by mobilizing teams, creating awareness, gaining buy-in and support, and ensuring proper engagement with stakeholders.
Together, these three areas – Programs, Strategy, and Change – form The Vantage Model. This model offers a unique evidence-based approach to help you excel in accomplishing your mission. Through this vantage point, as your strategic partner, we empower your organization for maximum impact.
We apply best practices in each of these areas. The proven positive results and outcomes obtained when implementing best practices are validated by countless studies conducted over the years by well-respected institutions. For more information see “Lessons Learned” in our Insights section.

When Programs, Strategy, and Change are aligned and managed together, your organization will:
