Yes, there’s always a thousand ‘buts’. Business leaders can be very creative in coming up with reasons and excuses why correct business decisions must be postponed or rejected. After all, it’s not that simple, our company is different, some employees would not understand it, let’s wait for better times, etc. Just as parents are irrationally inclined to think of their child as unique, special and incomparable to any other child, business owners tend to think the same way of their companies. This same emotional commitment that has helped you grow your business can now be holding it back. Mindaugas Liaukonis, experienced C level manager, PhD in mathematics and founder of ELEVATOR agency, believes that, while such emotional commitment is important for entrepreneurs in the early stages of growth, it can become a hindrance as a company matures: „As a company matures and becomes large enough, equations for further growth must cut through the emotional fog and respect the power of the numbers.“ Once such equations are applied, it soon becomes evident that the so called ‘unique situations’ are actually common organizational challenges resulting from clearly identifiable causes. Once these causes are dealt with, an enterprise can hop on board the ELEVATOR and reach a new floor, leaving the emotional fog behind.

At ELEVATOR, we believe that in order to curate strategic transformations, it is important to rely on mathematics and data-driven decision-making rather than unproductive workplace emotions, over-attachments, and excuses. And that’s what the ELEVATOR team brings to the table. We help leaders see that the walls and ceilings they were struggling with were mere perceptions. We help leaders see, and use, ELEVATORs instead.

Some can talk the talk. Others prefer doing and delivering results. Some prioritize advance payments and expensive never-ending processes. Others prefer accountability and are ready to tie financial rewards with pre-agreed KPI’s.

While one-time consultations can be valuable for leaders, the ELEVATOR team is at its best when given accountability tasked with specific targets. Only by taking full responsibility for our ideas, methods, actions can we deliver on our promise to move your business up. Our strategic transformation experts can assume the positions of board members, caretaker CEOs, or external consultants. Whatever the legal form, we walk the walk, not just talk the talk. By employing a unique data-driven methodology to curate the entire strategic transformation process which includes (but is limited to) business planning, reorganization, standardization of key processes, restructuring, risk prevention, etc. Once the pre- agreed KPIs are reached, we can shake hands and move our own ways. But don’t worry about saying goodbye – by that time the ELEVATOR will have already elevated your enterprise to a new stage of evolution.

Many business consultants present themselves, give consultation or advice and when payment received, they leave the client and result is unclear. The advice may sound logical, but your situation may be unique. How to solve the problem in real circumstances? Where is the result?

Guided by ELEVATOR values, we choose a different approach – a result-oriented process. We delve into your problem, find out its causes. Then we agree on the indicators that need to be achieved in order to claim that the problem is solved, and the period within which we will do so. We accompany you throughout this challenging path, lead you by the hand, and implement changes together with your team. You pay a success fee for a real result. In short, in all cases, we analyze the problem or obstacle to business development, agree on the target result and the time frame in which it needs to be achieved. And our reward is when the result is achieved within the agreed time. No risk, no empty promises or recommendations, just a purposeful rise upwards.
