HOLLAND
& DAVIS
Management Consulting Changing How Companies Think and Work …for Better Bottom Line Results
We work side-by-side with our clients to:
Our clients
do not use us to run their day-to-day business but to build the business
they need for tomorrow. We go beyond consulting to actual implementation/execution…and
provide experienced "been there, done that…and done it well"
project resources who can help an organization reach its vision. Our job is to
help the client's personnel handle the work required to reach the vision
or do it for them, depending on client staffing availability. Mission/Philosophy HOLLAND
& DAVIS is an alternative to traditional management consulting
firms. Our purpose is simple and straightforward: We Help
Companies to Gain and Maintain We differ from other consulting firms ...
We leverage your ideas
and strategies into action ... By involving several levels
of employees, managers and executives, we help your organization build
both the consensus and the commitment that define and energize the project.
We work with you and your staff to implement specific action programs
Services Service 1: Change Management/Operations Integration HOLLAND & DAVIS has been engineering organizational change for more than 20 years ... long before the words "Change Management" were fashionable. HDI has helped more than 100 clients with change initiatives over the past 20 years ... supplying hands-on consulting, project and program management as well as training and coaching. Our clients tell us that our approaches to Change Management are the most simple, straight forward, and practical they have seen. They tell us that we talk their language and the language of business, not our own language of new terms and jargon. We use simple everyday metaphors for explaining Change Management that clients can master and use within one or two hours. We can't help but transfer our knowledge to our clients ... cause they "get it" quickly! And we wrote the definitive "how to do it" book Change Is the Rule: Practical Actions for Change On Target, On Time, and On Budget, Dearborn Trade, 2000 (on Amazon.com). Service 2: Strategy Development & Implementation Holland & Davis helps companies develop the competitive strategy that is right for them and then we stay there until the strategy is fully implemented. We are known for our high involvement techniques that result in a good strategy that is widely embraced by the organization. While we don't write reports for clients, we did write the book on "how to do it" for strategy implementations: Red Zone Management: Changing the Rules for Pivotal Times, Dearborn Trade, October 2001. Service 3: e-Business Strategy Implementation Holland & Davis is first and foremost a source of expertise for adding value to a business. To be sustainable, an e+Strategy must satisfy all the business fundamentals. Our e+Strategy adds business value, not just technical whiz-bang. Our expertise in planning for business success spans 30 years. We have "been there and done that" for businesses when other technology waves arrived to give businesses additional assets and capabilities useful for success (distributed marketing, outsourcing, air-freight, over-night package delivery, phone/fax/e-mail, and now the Internet). Service 4: Operations Improvement Holland & Davis has a proven track record of helping companies to achieve dramatic improvements in their businesses. We have developed a proven Reengineering Methodology and identified the very best of our Just-In-Time Training, which resulted in The Change Management Toolkit. The Toolkit, published in 1995, is our 400+ page methodology used by companies like Sprint, M & M Mars, Texaco, USA ... The 2nd edition was published Spring 1999. Service 5: ERP/CRM Implementation Support Holland & Davis can support your company with best in class change management/operations integration of your big technology insertion. While the systems integrator focuses on managing the technical risk of the system implementation, we focus on ensuring that the user community is fully ready to use the advantages of the new system at go live. We have helped
organizations integrate information technology solutions into full utilization
for more than 20 years, having cut our teeth at NASA in the 1970's when
information technology was introduced as an organizational success factor.
We wrote the first major article on change management associated with
systems introduction and won the prize from the Journal
of Systems Management, Feb 1974. Holland
