History and Philosophy
Having spent four years with a “big name” firm
and another 12 years with a London based
strategy boutique consultancy, Jean Reaves
Rollins had seen virtually every consulting fad
and trend of the 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000’s being
pitched by consulting firms and being
implemented in client offices. During an
internal strategy meeting in the late 1990’s,
Jean’s partner group was debating the merits and
weaknesses of some of these management tools and
fads; the Herculean efforts some required for
implementation, the dangers of creating the
wrong metrics with which to manage, the need for
organizational re-alignment that process
improvement projects created, what the
impediments to change are within most businesses
and enterprises and especially what dangers can
be created by taking your eye-off-the-ball by
being distracted from your real business issues.
At the end of the meeting it was agreed that
tools such as Economic Value Added and the
Balanced Scorecard, among others, all could be
useful if implemented correctly. However, it was
also agreed that the most common denominator for
successful management was a true understanding
of your company or enterprise’s core business.
Nothing sexy or trendy, but just a deep
understanding of three basic elements:
-
Your Customers
-
Your Costs
-
Your Competition
Thus, when Jean struck out on her on 1998, she
wanted to ensure her practice keeps its focus on
fundamental, proven management concepts and
practices, hence the name, The C Three Group.
