Communicating ideas
clearly inside and outside the company often becomes a difficult task for
those closest to the action. Often, it takes a fresh,
unbiased view from skilled professionals outside the daily
pressures of the business to produce a new and focused approach
to resolving communication problems.
McPherson
Associates examines businesses to identify
the cause and effect of communications problems
and then prepares detailed action plans to resolve them,
utilizing today's most advanced technological tools.
We'll guide
you through an analysis of the challenges you face, recommend specific
action plans to meet them, and then create the product you need to
communicate with the target audience.
A recent case in point: A
Fortune 500 international telecommunications equipment
manufacturer called on us to help solve a problem with its
largest customer. Initially, the company suggested we produce a
Video CD to instruct its customer's technicians on proper
installation and maintenance of their most popular equipment
line.
However, after analysis, we
recommended an alternative that was less than half the cost of the video
production, and much more effective. We produced a data CD that
gave the technicians quick and easy access to the thousands of
pages of equipment documentation, previously stored in
a huge binder few ever used. With
a user-friendly, point-and-click approach, now they reference exact procedures on one CD they
can pop into their
laptop wherever they may be working.
The big payoff: the
technicians love it, the customer is getting the job done
faster and better, and there are fewer callbacks; the client's product
image has improved, its tech support staff is getting fewer calls for intervention, and the client saved
additional money by accepting our recommendation.
Come to think of it: McPherson
Associates appeared to be the only "loser" by suggesting
a
lower cost alternative and cutting our budget. However,
that was offset by the satisfaction of doing the right
thing.
Our associates represent
a broad range of skills, honed by years of experience in a
wide variety of settings. We're not confined by a
corporate "box" that makes creativity difficult, if not
impossible.
We'll be more than happy to sit down with you, to determine whether we can help you.
We deal with a select client base, so rest assured
that we'll only take on your project if we are confident we
can offer what you need. If it appears we can't, we'll
try to recommend other companies that
may
better serve your needs.
Tell us your problem;
we'll communicate your
solution.
