Our Approach To Big Results

Step 1 – Our Clients Want Big Results, Not Just Good Results
We all know that Big Results require transformational change, and transformational change is hard … really hard. However, transformational change enables our clients to support business growth on an entirely improved price:performance curve, consumption and provisioning model.

Our clients are blue chip financial services and retail enterprises across North America. We are typically engaged by a C-level executive sponsor with a new mandate for transformational change that will dramatically reduce IT operating costs, improve service and manage risk proactively.

Step 2 – We Identify and Quantify IT Savings Potentials, Including Outsourcing
R3P has a track record in realizing significant multi-million annual savings for C-level executives. We are experienced in broad IT cost take out initiatives and have built up check-lists, tools/approaches and baseline data. We can develop a comprehensive view of the cost reduction opportunities (largely external spend). However, the largest 2 outsourcing deals typically yield the most cost savings opportunity.

R3P Sees Big Results, and Can Map the Direction
R3P quantifies the savings with market price bench marks, like other consultancies. However, R3P also has the unique talent to explore innovative technologies, service models, operating models and support models to achieve the best-in-class price-performance curve and simplicity of solution. The entire R3P team assigned to your account will be very experienced, consultative and versatile. We typically quantify three (3) cost savings and service improvement scenarios and a sense of the one-time project effort:

• Incremental Results: Pure negotiating without any one-time effort
• Good Results: Negotiating with a small low risk/effort one-time effort
• Big Results: Negotiating with transformational change effort

Step 3 – R3P Develops Strategy / Business Case & Leads Sourcing Event
R3P typically leads the business case and strategy effort with client input and approval. We are experienced in the level of detail, review and stakeholder alignment for up to $1B business cases. Our consultants’ and Managing Director’s oversight bring a unique combination of insight to the engagements (financial modelling, technology architectures, service models, offshore models, LEAN, ITSM and real estate solutions).

Our lead consultant is an experienced sourcing expert that will have the solution knowledge to lead the sourcing event, whichever it may be. All client corporate policies and procedures will be followed for compliancy.

R3P Works for Quick Wins
During the staged transformational change, it is best to get some Quick Wins implemented up-front for stakeholder support and improved NPV.

Step 4 – R3P Leads Transformational Program to Realize Big Results
R3P takes an embedded, efficient and culturally sensitive approach to implement on-time and on-budget transformational projects. Our clients find that our approach is more nimble and more tailored to their needs as a Canadian enterprise than the approach of large global consulting firms. The R3P approach is one of facilitation, framing, advising, heavy-lifting where required, and inter-locking with key stakeholders. R3P competes with independent consultants and global consulting firms. R3P is unique boutique consultancy with:

• Greater scale than a single independent, while being more nimble than a global firm
• Ability to cost-effectively deliver a short engagement or a multi-year program
• Local Canadian expertise that has taken a break from global consulting to embed into your team
