AdvantageLevel was created in response to a number of companies expressing a desire for more specific management consulting services that better addressed the unique business issues confronted by large and medium sized service providers such as energy, utility and telecommunications firms. 

These specific services were being delivered by conventional Big Five consulting firms but they lacked the insight, history or "scar-tissue" experience to truly provide solutions that made significant and lasting business improvement and competitive advantage for these unique industries.

What we've noticed in the past 20 years or more of experience, is that a lot of extremely well intentioned, projects, optimization plans, and improvement programs have been initiated within the industries we support, but few seem to have the long term "stickiness" to sustain ongoing benefits.  Many of these initiatives launch well, are generally focused and controlled to an outcome and in many cases, benefits are achieved as planned.  However, once the parade has left and the project teams return to their original tasks, a process of erosion begins.

Over time, processes and procedures begin to deviate, non-compliance begins to frequent, employee churn introduces inconsistency, performance reports become desk anchors instead of early warning signs and intra-functional cooperation begins to look like it used to before the project.
