| Two of the Principals were part of a six member team
created to plan, build, and operate a global turn-key business. The backbone
was an
international network of high-security computer-based testing centers and
regional offices. Each
center had to be established locally as an independent business. |
| An international project like this had never been
attempted before. Outside-the-box thinking and realistic contingency plans were crucial to
success. This approach guaranteed that the businesses opened on
schedule, under budget, often exceeding client expectations and saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars. |
| We became experts in the details required to set up a new business.
We negotiated with vendors and service providers and prepared the client to
start operations. |
| In the first four years
the network grew from 6 cities in 6 countries to active operations in 195 cities in 92 countries
and included 9
regional offices, 14 regional call centers, and 800+ direct or indirect
employees. Many of these individuals are available as part of the
associate network. |
| Over
that same period
the budget for growing and operating this worldwide network expanded
accordingly from $4 million to $44 million dollars. And the company became the recognized
world leader in testing and
educational services. |
| This experience and innovative thinking provided the basis
for very successful operations in such "difficult" locations as India
and China. Our worldwide success indicates we can work comfortably with
business people from anywhere in the world. |
