There are other large peer group companies providing this service at significantly higher rates, and less frequently occurring meetings, that require expensive travel commitments on a periodic basis. Very often, while these companies are good at strictly business related consultation, their experience in A&E consulting does not come from first hand experience. Our goal is to have options in scheduling by offering either efficient web-based, interactive meetings on a monthly basis with only one or two face-to-face meetings per year or quarterly meetings. This model is intended to be more cost effective in delivering services and in decreasing travel related expenses. We can then provide this service at a lower rate than competing peer group companies. We use web-based off the shelf solutions that can be accommodated by a typical office computer setup. Additional group interaction will be facilitated by either closed Facebook groups or free software solutions such as Slack, Google, etc.
Email newsletters will be sent specific to the peer group. The upcoming agenda, previous topics, business hints and personal growth items will all be included.
