Q: How do I determine if Owens Strategy Group can help?

A: Call us at 239-390-2140 and talk to Dave Owens, or email Dave at dowens@owensstrategy.com.  Dave will quickly assess whether OSG can help your company and, if not, will refer you to someone who can.

Q: If it appears that OSG can help, what is the next step?

A: The next step is for OSG to develop a proposal, which is a detailed description of the issues as well as the recommended process and budget to resolve them.  In order to prepare the proposal, Dave will usually meet face-to-face with senior management to determine more precisely what is needed.  Then OSG will gather additional information from the client or from public/private data sources to provide sufficient background to ensure that the proposal is focused on the most relevant strategic issues.  There is no charge for a proposal.

Q: How long does it take to complete a consulting or licensing project, and what is the cost?

A: Our experience is that most consulting projects can be completed in 3 to 4 months.  Costs are based on fees for professional time plus out-of-pocket expenses for travel and the like.  The proposal outlines the recommended time and budget, along with activities and expected output.  A brand licensing project may extend for as long as the licensed business is operational, in which case OSG fees are structured in proportion to the size and success of the licensed business.

Q: Will Dave Owens personally work on our project?

A: Yes.  All OSG projects are managed and delivered by Dave Owens.  While other OSG professionals  help with research and administration, Dave is personally and closely involved in every project and will present OSG's findings and recommendations to the client.

Q: Is OSG hiring consultants or researchers?  May I apply?

A: If you are in the top 10% of your class or you have excelled at a first-tier strategy consulting firm (e.g. BCG, Bain, McKinsey), you may email your resume to Dave at dowens@owensstrategy.com.
