When Vanguard Is the Right Partner, and When It Is Not
We're not the right fit for every situation. Here's when we can help, and when you should look elsewhere.
Good Fit: When Vanguard Makes Sense
You Have a Real Operational Problem: You're facing a concrete bottleneck, risk, or constraint that's affecting operations.
Complexity or Regulation Matters: Your environment is complex
Accountability Is Important: You need someone who takes responsibility for outcomes, not just completing tasks.
You Value Senior Expertise: You want experienced practitioners leading the work, not junior staff learning on your project.
You Need Execution or Tailored Solutions: You need hands-on implementation, custom solutions, or senior advisory, not generic consulting.
Not a Fit: When to Look Elsewhere
You Want the Cheapest Option: We're not the lowest-cost provider. We provide senior expertise and reliable execution, which comes at a premium.
You Need a Large Team Quickly: We're a senior consulting network, not a body shop. We don't maintain a bench of junior consultants.
You Want Generic Solutions: If you're looking for off-the-shelf platforms or generic digital transformation, we're not the right partner.
You're Not Sure What You Need: If you don't have a clear problem or objective, we can't help effectively.
You Want Marketing or Sales Support: We don't do marketing, sales, or business development consulting.
You Need Ongoing Maintenance at Scale: We're built for projects and engagements, not ongoing maintenance of large systems.
How to Know If We're a Fit
Ask yourself: Do I have a concrete operational problem that needs solving? Is my environment complex enough that generic solutions won't work? Do I need senior expertise and accountability, not just bodies? Am I willing to invest in quality execution and tailored solutions?
If you answered yes to these questions, we're likely a good fit. If not, we're probably not the right partner.
