Our team building process goes beyond matching requirements to the best available resumes. In fact, it begins before our first meeting.
Researching the Client
To kickoff our efforts, we perform extensive preliminary research before our first
meeting to find answers to questions such as:
What is the client’s main business?
What does their competitive landscape look like?
What are the current and future business environments?
What are the primary and secondary business drivers?
What typical business problems do companies in the same vertical face?
What technology drives the business?
Qualifying the Requirements
GDI has a robust requirements gathering process that enables us to precisely capture a client's needs. Clients often approach us for assistance in a specific area, only to discover that the basis of their problem is elsewhere. In these instances, GDI's approach to clarifying and defining requirements not only helps accurately pinpoint the problems, but also saves time and money by setting the right course of action from the outset.
When a customer approaches us with a requirement for consultants, we seek to understand the underlying need:
What business issues need to be solved?
What skills and expertise are they seeking?
What are their expectations?
What timelines and milestones need to be met?
What are some of the other constraints that exist?
Finding the Right Mix of Consultants
After we accurately capture a client's requirements, we leverage our tested Recruitment and Retention Process to quickly find and deploy teams of consultants with the right mix of skills and attitude.
Managing the teams and the engagement
Our team building process does not end with the deployment of consultants to a project, however. Leveraging our Engagement Management Process, our engagement manager remains actively involved to ensure that our consultants deliver tangible business results that solve the client's problems.
