ENTERTAINMENT AUDITS
ENTERTAINMENT AUDITS
|
We provide Entertainment Audits to our clients by utilizing proprietary diagnostics developed by industrial organizational psychologists within our advisory team. This establishes a base line for our qualitative interviews for managers. This normally involves a one or two consultant team and a series of meetings discussing problems, barriers, crisis, opportunities and solutions in a one day off site forum. Then, we step into the role of being solution centered in training and working to optimize leaders. |
|
Your audit starts with a comprehensive review of past and current marketing materials and diagnostics the client is asked to provide. Then, we create the optimal research design and methodology for your report. Having the proper path scheduled, we are ready to execute with precision alongside of your management team. This is an all hands on deck effort and team building is a major part of our focus. From working in professional sports and athletics, we believe in team. . Once the preliminary design is completed, the deliverables are agreed upon and a report establishes the ethos for effective change and this interactive process is based on studying optimal growth patterns.

GROWTH PLANNING
The Audit is designed to preliminary identify the Critical Success Factors and the plan is ready to begin created both with the consulting team, the management team, fiscal team, technology group and specific assignments/tasks required in the early stages of planning. After the initial planning meeting, the firm concludes the research design phase and execution begins. In order to accomplish objectives, there are four phases to the plan.
Management Phase
Initially, the plans we prepare are facilitated by the firm with our client’s input from leadership and related personnel who would have a voice into structure. Through this group of interviews a report structure is completed. Management has an integral voice to pre-determine outcomes and meet goals. From Industrial Organizational Psychology and PHD's who understand behavioral sciences and people, our team is equipped to work with your organization fulfilling your objectives .

Research Phase
The research phase is led by senior advisors and is integral to understanding the market, the consumer, the goal and the mission for each project. Every research project which is consumer driven is different and we have aligned ourselves with research teams with Gallup, Princeton and veterans in qualitative and quantitative studies. Economic models are based on solid data and we want to ensure the right information is present. Information is the power for this. |
Critical Success Factors Phase
To establish a baseline for the Critical Success Factors (CSF’s) our team understands the importance to growth. Our team will be working with the owners/leaders will conduct additional research analysis in both qualitative and quantitative settings from the management team’s suggestions if required. Critical Success Factors are then created to be foundational benchmarks for growth by, reflecting the findings, conclusions and recommendations for the plan with a prioritized baseline in moving forward. From these cornerstones, capitalization strategies are developed when needed and even economic modeling provides ROI and key strategic benchmarks for each project. Often, the customer service training and quality control issues which have been missing are uncovered and mentoring and team building begins to improve the overall "end results".
Economic Modeling Phase
When the due diligence and assumptions are finalized, the economic model is concluded to reflect the findings. Prior to the final draft, there are some “traffic” time tables that are benchmarks for the phases of the plan to be completed. Clients have the opportunity to bring input into the process along the way to ensure economic structure and core elements of each plan are in alignment with the management team’s goals.
