THE VICI
STORY

Most of our partners started in strategy consulting. After years of projects, we realized about ½ of the recommendations of traditional consulting firms get implemented.

  • Since 2008, our partners have been developing and refining a system to help organizations tap into what their people already know – building buy in to turn frustrations into specific business changes.
  • Using our proprietary software, line leaders and their teams build P&Ls for each idea and document consensus to implement – in the details.
  • The step-by-step process allows them to recommend and get approval to make and implement lots of decisions quickly.
  • It is rewarding to see 90 to 110% of the promised financial improvements tracked to completion – every time.
  • We typically align our incentives with client success.

We Came to a Simple Conclusion BUY-IN IS THE KEY
At the end of the day, your strategy will be what your people are doing.
