Why SC
What do you want in a consultant?
Most people would say...somebody who's been there, done that, or can figure out how to do something new, understands our company, won't waste my time, does what they say they're going to do, is adaptable and doesn't try to overlay rigid best practices on our company when it doesn't fit, can communicate with all the parties involved, makes me look good, doesn't try to say they do everything, and oh, don't let me forget... is priced reasonably. I knew I could make this happen, so I started SC. - - Denise Sanders
