49% Less Spend, 100% More Impact: The Reframe Change Revolution

Reframe is anything but a typical consulting company, and we're proud of it.

I spent the first 20 years of my career guiding some of the world's best-known brands through change and transformation. After watching projects fail to meet objectives and companies spending millions on outsourced talent, I thought there had to be a better way.

So, we built it. 

Reframe Consulting Group cultivates healthy, high-performing cultures during workplace change. How, you ask?

We use a proven three-step system that boosts your change capability, reduces financial waste, and achieves self-sustaining measurable change. Did I use all the right buzzwords?

No, really, what's our Reframe 'cool factor,' and why should you care?

Change projects cost a lot of money; if you don't get them right (like 70% of the researched change projects that fail), you'll lose a lot of money.

How much are we talking about?

Let's say you are doing a system implementation. 

On the low side…

You hire one full-time change consultant from a staffing agency and pay $225 per hour for a 12-month commitment. You're looking at $468,000 for that one resource. Sure, can you get it lower? Yes, and be aware of the talent you're getting and their experience.

Then, start calculating the labor cost associated with your team participating in meetings and doing extra work during that same time to support the change project. Let's say five smart people on your team who make, on average, $140K spend 25% of their time working on the project over the 12-month commitment for a total of $175K. Is $140K average high? Consider benefits, that executive on the team, and any leaders you pull in for help.

The training cost does not only include the vendor. It also includes your employees' training time away from their day jobs. Again, let's go low and say you spend $25,000 over the year on vendors and have a mix of 50 employees and leaders with an average salary of $90,000 (approx. $43 per hour) go through eight hours of training over the 12-month commitment. That's $42,200 ($25,000 for the vendor and $17,200 for your 50 employees/leaders to attend training).

In this scenario, the total cost of change is approximately $685,200. (Not including travel, the system cost, and any other project resource needs like a project manager, communications support, etc.)

If you're a large company, you know that number looks incredibly low. If you're a small company, that number seems super scary. Whatever your perception, you don't want to waste the money! You want the money you've invested to produce an ROI. And we already know, based on research, that 70% of change projects fail.

That's where Reframe Consulting Group comes in.

Our system saves you an average of 49%. In the same scenario above, you would pay $335,748 or less. We just finished a change program with a client with 2,000 employees; their total bill was $210,000.

How is that possible?

• We use our three-step system to make change happen in half the time.
• We build your change capability fast and teach your team how to fish.
• We match your change strategy to your culture and minimize disruption.
• We only do what gets measured, and we measure everything; that's how you get an ROI and keep your change projects on track.
