How
Are You Different?
In
addition to our Core Values, we differentiate
ourselves in the following ways:
- Emphasis
on Measurable Results: All engagements begin with "baseline" measurements to ensure
that a significant impact is achieved throughout the engagement. All
measures correspond to strategic objectives; ultimately resulting in
a positive impact to the bottom line.
- Emphasis
on Implementation and Follow-through: We make sure that solutions are developed collaboratively, are implemented,
and are taught to our clients (for self-sufficiency) where applicable.
Improvements are "locked-in" using standard operating procedures,
process design techniques, staff engagement, and performance management
tools, to ensure sustainability.
- Emphasis
on Client Ownership and Facilitation: We view ourselves
primarily facilitators, allowing our clients to retain ultimate control
and ownership of initiatives. This leads to better solutions and follow-through.
While we often suggest specific solutions to problems (based on industry
experience), we have found that the best ideas are generated by those
closest to day-to-day operations. We facilitate the process of developing
and refining these solutions and supporting implementation.
- Personalized
Service & Flexibility: Individualized
personalized service directly from the principles of the company helps
ensure a successful outcome. We cater to the unique needs of each client engagement. Personalized attention and follow-through
is always offered; ensuring that clients are heard prior-to, during,
and following engagements.

Who
Are You?
The Crossroads Group consists of a team of individuals with combined expertise
in the areas of management, survey design and reporting, process improvement, and strategic planning.
Why
Use A Third-Party Firm?
- Change: Ideal
For creating a sense of urgency within the organization to drive change.
- Expertise: Specialized knowledge and experience in the application of the
tools being offered.
- Objectivity
and Credibility: Unhindered
by politics or "turf wars" (which can paralyze decision-making
and implementation). Credible reporting.
- Cost: Lower cost for firms lacking the resources to hire staff for specialized
tasks.
- Focus: Energy, focus, and resources provided to meet the needs at hand.
Couldn't
We Do It Ourselves?
In theory some of our clients have the knowledge, background, or expertise
to implement solutions; however practically it is difficult or impossible
for them to dedicate the will and focused attention required. The reality
is that many managers are either busy "putting out fires" or
absorbed in the day-to-day operations of their businesses, leaving little
resource for long-term improvement initiatives.
What
About Confidentiality?
All engagements are initiated with
a written confidentiality guarantee ensuring that nothing learned about
a client before, during, or after an engagement will be revealed to any
third party outside of our firm. Business Associate agreements are also provided incorporating current confidentiality requirements.
Can You Service My Industry?
While having extensive experience in healthcare, the Crossraods Group applies tools and techniques which are applicable to almost any industry.
