How we work
We belong to a fairly narrow range of consulting firms, which not only diagnose and develop a plan and recommendations, but also provide the necessary implementation for the organization changes.
We are able to act as “collective management” on the organizational changes themselves and to fill the gaps in the management of the Company until such time as the managers in working with us do not acquire the missing knowledge and skills.
Hippokratio “do No harm” is one of the first commandments “Step”. Introducing changes in the client organization, we act very gently and carefully, not allowing any violations of the progress of the workflow, nor rude intrusion in the existing relationship, no bring “explosive” information.
We treat prevailing in the Company’s traditions, to the fate of the people working in it, and even to the belief of the Customer that are not shared. We always seek to draw on the accumulated in companies positive experience and never destroy what is the Company value. That is why, in the opinion of our customers, even when our help is a radical reorganisation of the business, it is accompanied by a minimal decrease of financial results and manageability during a consulting project and a significant increase in efficiency, reliability and manageability of business after the conclusion of the consultancy.
The main resource of our Customers are people working in the organization. All our Customers have noticed that consultants “Step” reading people: can evaluate employees and to select or to find the challenge of those who cope with them, can identify the strengths of people, to mobilize them to solve the set tasks.
What experience is behind us
Being the age of entrepreneurship in Russia, we have accumulated extensive experience working with companies from various business sectors (banking, retail, manufacturing, publishing, telecommunications, insurance, construction, etc.). Today we have completed over 700 consulting projects. The number of client organizations — more than 350.
We realized early enough that effective consulting need your consulting services market, which is impossible to form forces the few existing professional consulting companies. From 1993-1997, during the company’s “STEP” is created and operates as “School organizational consultants”, which was passed by about 60 experts. Most of them still work in the field of counseling today, and some have created their own consulting firm and led them.
Often, rather than focusing on individual services, we have solved complex problems of business development in General. Together with our Customers we have developed and set up new business projects, conducted mergers and division of companies, lifted out of their business, developing the skills of managers. We are grateful to our customers the experience we have gained by working with their companies. Today we know the tendencies of formation and development of businesses, their typical problems and diseases. We do not just see the strengths and weaknesses of companies: we have something to compare them, there is a point of reference for assessing their real competitive disadvantages and advantages.
Due to the fact that we worked and worked with leaders of different markets, with whom we had to solve the problems of development, we have a wide Arsenal of tried and tested institutional arrangements. Our expertise allows other companies to look ahead and to anticipate possible errors. Thus, we adhere to the principle: “Know that recommend not recommend not checked”.
