You will get a consultant who works for you, as part of your team.
You will get help to find the right people, only if you need them.

People in your office are there to get the work done, not to increase the size of their account.
The only focus is on delivering what you need to be successful.
Quiet pride in the work delivered for you and the way it is done, rather than updating you with financial achievements or chasing awards.

You will get a rare combination of rigour, structure, personality, empathy, creativity and innovation.
