points. We deliver what a consultant needs to get his client’s attention and loyalty.

How We use a select number of reliable tools and experienced

people that know how to use those tools; Tool Masters.

engineering.

Why We deliver diagnostics, insights and understanding that will put Business and Management

Consultants in a great position to deliver World Class Consulting Services and create business

opportunities with their clients!

Our tools… your label?

Our tools become your tools ones we agree

to work together.

We co-create, from beginning to end. We

create a clear description of the tools that

you plan to offer to your clients in your

house style, with your logo and obviously in

your language and wording.

This service is done by us at no charge and

without any other obligation than an

intention to work together ones your client

and you have decided on the use of the

specific tool.

YouHere© is an international network of

Business Analysts and Professionals with

extensive expertise and experience in the

operational areas of organizations.

Our co-created reports are tailor made to make them fit your label and style

We choose explicitly not to be board room consultants, working at the tactical and strategic

levels primarily with CXO and Senior Directors.

YouHere© is a virtual toolbox. We provide tools that help our clients get reliable insight in

the work practices of their clients, insights that highlight opportunities for improvement and

that will help the consultants and their clients to agree on more / future business.

We deliver tools as a package; the Tool including the Toolmaster… the Instrument and the

Craftsman.

Our tools are not vague and abstract services. We only offer tools that are proven

technology, have been used many times and have a predictable outcome. Our Toolmasters

have a track record as users of the tools. We do no concessions to quality. The outcome (in

format, not in content) is predictable before we even start the analyses.

Non-Competition Clause You! Senior Management Consultant, Partner, CXO in Business or Management Consultancy,

you are our target. Our market. We do not want and shall not compete with you in your

markets. We are second tier, we want to be contracted by you. Why? Because you

understand the benefits that we can bring you, as a Business or Management Consultant.

Our most important goal is not to fill gaps in capacity (bodies in suits with ties) and skills. It is

to make sure that you get more work and ‘go aheads’ . For this reason we will be happy to

sign any non-disclosure agreement or non-competition clause.

Levels of engagement Youhere© engage on 3 levels. The level of engagement will be confirmed at the intake.

1. Great Input: The tool, the professional the raw data.

This level of engagement is based on delivering input; a firm commitment that we will

perform a great analysis and that we will provide you with insights, data and information

that will allow you to take the next step.

2. The Co-creative Solution: The tool, the professional, the data, the presentation and the conclusions.

We deliver the tool, the professional and we support the presenting consultant(s) to deliver

the right conclusions, storyline and punch lines. We are working very closely together with

you to ensure your success.

3. Shared risk:

We charge 200% of the co-creative solution, but only when you are successful:

50% up front + 150% if your predefined goals, whatever they are, are achieved.

TOOLS

The Competing Values Survey:

The Competing Values Survey is used to measure perceptions and preferences of people in

various segments of the organization. These segments are usually hierarchical levels

(executives, managers, supervisors and employees) and functional levels (planners,

controllers, production, staff, etc.). Further segmentation per location or geographical areas

is possible.

Segments are defined, confirmed and agreed with our clients; consulting organizations.

The online survey provides transparent insights in the preferences and perceptions in the

segmented groups. More important, it highlights competing values. Choices to be made are

not based on obvious clichés (good or bad) but on valid competing values. Think about

dilemma’s like “Quality First” or “Results First”. Hence, the typical choices with which we are

faced.

The Competing Values Survey is 100% online. Obviously, we will use your

house style and logo. Respondents will be redirected to your page or

project page following the survey. The professionals of Youhere© do not

need to communicate with your client.

When to use the Competing Values Survey ?

The competing Values Survey can be used in situations that require an in depth

understanding of cultural values. In case that companies / organizations (your clients) are

faced with obstacles to change and innovation. Neglecting cultural obstacles and gaps before

starting a major turnaround program has caused many disappointing failures in BPR

programs. The Competing Values Survey usually provides the necessary foundation for an

encompassing and ambitious change program. It builds mutual understanding and

confidence both with the key players in your client’s organization as well as with your own

team of consultants.

Brown Paper Workshop

Together with key players in operational work areas, the planning department and all other areas

related to the core operational work practice we map the value creation process. We create

consensus and mutual understanding about value leaks, value and up front, in 1 day. The Brown

Paper Workshop offers just that. In 1 day we create a comprehensive flow of the core processes. The

attendees; key players in your client’s organization, will participate in a half day workshop. They will

explore the way the process REALLY works. They will identify areas of opportunity, chronic issues,

strengths and areas of concern.

Together with your consultants a basic approach and action plan will be delivered at the end of the

workshop. The workshop is not finished until we have made a comprehensive presentation for your

client’s executives. In fact, this presentation can usually be ‘delivered’ by one of the attendees in the

workshop.

Stakeholders will appreciate the level of consensus and general willingness to improve work

practices.

Data Analyses

Nothing can be more boring and painstaking than the

detailed analyses and studies of large amounts of

non-digital data.

Yet, very often it is within the data that clues and

sources can be found for important improvements. It

is precisely the process of data gathering and

analysis that will support Business and Management

Consultants to provide their clients with conclusive

insights in financial leaks and convincing arguments

to improve administrative and work practices.

We are very able and willing to crunch the numbers

for you and supply you with initial conclusions.

We work on the basis of no-cure / less-pay; if the data that your client has provided you with does

not provide any good material and conclusions we will charge you our “off-day hourly tariff”

Various Surveys (design on command)

Youhere© has designed a large number of useful and effective surveys. We currently own over 120

highly professional and proficient surveys.

Nothing is more convincing to the executive teams of your clients then the opinions, concerns,

ambitions and suggestions of their own people. We will help you design the right survey in your

house style.

We will launch the survey in a safe (https) environment on the internet and we will analyze the

outcome with you and your people.

Furthermore we can provide you with a stunning and meaningful presentation of the outcome and

the “Hot Topics” that invariably are produced when a survey is done.

In a matter of hours we can develop and roll out your tailor made survey.

Conditions Level of engagement:

Unit of invoice;

1 survey

Great input € 4.800,- n.a.

Co-created Solutions € 5.600,- n.a.

Shared Risk € 2.800,- € 8.400,-

Work Practice Reporter

Work Practice Reporter is an extensive category of diagnostic tools that we offer.

The tools are all aimed at getting a quantified insight in the day to day realities of the work practice.

Usually we will be able to determine the level of measurable improvement that can be achieved in

the operational “as is” work environments.

One example:

We call the studies DILO’s (a Day In the Life Of …) … you name it… “the subject …” ;-)

It might be the day in the life of a manager. We will study

with the subject, what his/her planning is at the

beginning of the day. We will explore if the subject has a

notion of the value that he/she wants to create or

sustain. We will look, open en honest, at the

interventions and various distracting events.

We will evaluate the quality an effectiveness of

meetings. We will ask the ’subject’ if this was a normal

day or not. We evaluate and think together if this day

could have been different, maybe more effective and more fulfilling. We will agree on the reporting

of the study / analysis and last but not least, we will ask the subject is he/she would be willing to

present conclusions and lessons learned him or her self.

The DILO can be done with any employee and is usually always of great value. Certainly if the

subject presents him– or herself the outcome, conclusions and suggested actions to achieve

sustainable improvements.

Conditions Level of engagement: Go? ;-)

Social Return On Investment (SROI)

SROI is an outcomes-based measurement tool that helps organizations to understand and quantify the social, environmental and economic value they are creating.

Developed from traditional cost-benefit analysis and social accounting, SROI is a participative approach that is able to capture in monetised form the value of a wide range of outcomes, whether these already have a financial value or not. An SROI analysis produces a narrative of how an organisation creates and destroys value in the course of making change in the world, and a ratio that states how much social value (in €) is created for every €1 of investment.

We conduct two types of SROI’s.

Evaluative SROI -- conducted retrospectively and based on actual outcomes that have taken place over a given evaluation period. These are most useful where a project is already up and running and there is good outcomes data available.

Forecasted SROI -- predict how much social value will be created if activities meet their intended or most likely objectives. Forecasted SROI are used when a project is still in the planning stages to assess its likely impact or in instances where there is a lack of outcomes data. A forecasted SROI can be followed with an evaluative SROI to verify the accuracy of the predictions.

Youhere© , within their network, has developed skills and has invested in tools to support their

clients to develop and present validated SROI data.

Empowerment Matrix

Youhere© can assist you in analyzing the perceived an actual matrices of empowerment in your

client’s organizations.

We establish insight in 3 simple questions: who does what? who is responsible for what? who is

authorized to do what?

Ask these 3 questions to various people, in divers divisions / departments and divers hierarchical

positions and you usually get a hilarious outcome. A useful conclusion for Consultants is that the

client organization needs to work on uniform perceptions across the board.
