Working with clients: what makes us unique?


Carisma RCT is an extremely innovative business: we are much more than a traditional consultancy.

The Short Version: Carisma at a glance

What we do
For “almost” any business challenge you might be facing, we ask you questions, listen to your answers, frame the problem, work hard to find a solution through experience and top-quality research and then we implement it.

What we do not do
Steal your watch to tell you the time!

What we know
Our core competences lie in business strategy and operations, business improvement, supply chain, strategic sourcing and information systems.

What we believe
We strongly believe that the traditional consultancy approach based on benchmarking a specific client/situation to so-called “best practices” is flawed. Nowadays best practices become old as they are implemented and every business is unique. We can and should learn from pre-existing best practices but simply running after what has worked for others means you are going to be at best an industry follower, not an industry leader.

How we differ
We have reinvented traditional management consultancy and academic research. We take the best features of the latter (i.e. researching best practices, knowing leading-edge theories and tools) and mix them up with the best features of industrial practice (i.e. result-orientation, realism, quick cycle times, experience) to deliver something truly unique that helps you overcome your challenges, within time and budget.

What you get
We help you redefine best practices, become your industry leader and achieve improved productivity, improved sales, reduced cycle times and/or maximised ROI
Since its inception, Carisma RCT has aimed to operate to the same corporate standards as much larger research institutes and consulting businesses. The management behind Carisma RCT comes from long careers at board level in some of the biggest companies, universities and research institutes in the world.

The Long Version

The blend of academic and industrial experience and the multi-cultural background of the core group give Carisma RCT an interesting cross company cultural mix with expertise on many management areas and development phases of a business life-cycle. Also we are fully aware of local as well as international geographical, economical and development potential and limitations.

This enables our team to have a unique approach to the way we work with clients: as we talk the language of both the academic and industrial worlds, we have the ability to bring university level research to industry clients with a practitioners-like attitude.

Our Consultancy moves at the same pace, shares the same objectives and priorities and talks the same language of our clients. At the same time, our Research Institute is capable of undertaking university level research and education and it works closely with some of the best Universities in the world.

 

We gather state-of-the-art knowledge from our extensive network of practitioners, academics and scientists from all around the world, and we use our own innovative thinking to transform and transfer such knowledge to the benefit of businesses.
