WHAT IS AN ELEVATOR?
Elevator is a strategic transformation office for business owners and managers who are tired of banging their heads against the ceiling and want their business to go up. The elevator metaphor describes our working method: making the right decisions at the right time leads to much faster changes and desired business growth rates.
HOW IS ELEVATOR DIFFERENT FROM BUSINESS CONSULTANTS?
Business consultants consult. Elevator–does and gets things done. We implement strategic transformations only in those companies in which we believe and see clear opportunities and measures to increase competitiveness, productivity, and profitability. Elevator–is perhaps the only office in Lithuania that 100% links billing to the client’s achieved KPIs.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I WILL NOT DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN MY PURSUIT OF CHANGE?
Chaos is not the goal of Elevator. The founder of the office, Doctor of Mathematics M. Liaukonis, has accumulated extensive experience in leading one of the strategic Lithuanian manufacturing and trading groups, and over the past 24 years has contributed to the transformations of well-known and successful Lithuanian business flagships. This experience ensures that every action in the company is carried out thoughtfully, avoiding uncontrolled conflict and unnecessary risks.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT LONG-TERM WORK WITH ELEVATOR, BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROSPECTS OF MY BUSINESS. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND YOUR COMPANY'S SITUATION BETTER?
Yes. The decision to work with ELEVATOR is a responsible decision, so we not only ask our clients to think it over carefully, but we also carefully consider the situation ourselves before offering cooperation. You can feel whether you need our external help after completing our LIFTO test. Another wise and non-binding decision for long-term work is to order an ELEVATOR business process audit. This is a relatively inexpensive and non-binding way to get to know the current business situation, limitations and the package of opportunities for necessary changes.
HOW MUCH DO ELEVATOR SERVICES COST?
0 EUR if the pre-defined results are not achieved. At the beginning of each new partnership, ELEVATOR will operationalize the desired business goals with you into clearly measurable KPIs, which will be achieved within a defined 6-12 month period. It is with these KPIs that the billing for the ELEVATOR service will be 100 percent linked.
HOW DOES ELEVATOR SELECT ITS CUSTOMERS?
Just as clients choose us, we have several conditions when choosing clients. First of all, our fundamental values and those of the business manager must coincide. In addition, open, trust-based communication is also important. It is necessary that the client does not accept our insights as personal criticism, which must be fought back and thus defended. After all, the common goal is not to prove who is right and who is wrong, but to find solutions acceptable to both parties - including cases when they require the manager to change their thinking or some of their habits. In other words, human connection is the foundation of everything, and then you can move on to business mathematics.
