Why MSP?

 

The market for professional services is both crowded and dynamic.  The following are some of the features which distinguish Midwest Strategy Partners (MSP) from its market peers:

  • A history of professional service: MSP’s senior staff have a distinguished track record of advisory service, including prior roles in management consulting with McKinsey & Company, and sell-side M&A advisory addressing a global marketplace of professional investors and strategic acquirers.
  • Pay for what you use and value: with MSP, clients obtain the advantage of paying for the staff and resources directly employed on their engagement, minimizing the markups and overhead common in professional services.  This lean approach focuses project budgets towards best uses, and can often deliver a 30-50% project savings versus more traditional service models.    
  • Access to vast expertise, information, and collaborative resources: MSP can offer clients access to over 800,000 experts with deep industry and/or functional experience, for interviews, surveys, or expert advisory roles.  Furthermore, MSP maintains a network of focused professional service providers and intermediaries, who can add valuable expertise, role execution, or scale to a project.  Lastly, MSP is able to leverage several large-scale information and analytics services on demand.  This networked and collaborative approach allows clients to benefit from the focus and service of a true boutique firm, while also having access to an enormous scope of business experience, information, and expertise.  
  • A proven approach: our methods are not based on passing fads, but reflect tried-and-true processes from across consulting, investment and operating businesses, which seek to identify and build upon the fundamental value-drivers of an enterprise.
  • Small is beautiful: we embrace our role as a boutique provider, and the attending abilities to provide attention, service, and extended focus sometimes missing from other firms.
  • Agility: we are able to extensively customize a service offering to a client situation, and when available, ready to start a new project same day upon conclusion of scoping and agreements.
  • Skin in the game: we understand the mindsets of entrepreneurs and managers because we play those roles every day.  Our motivations are aligned with our clients, with a strong interest in helping clients reach their goals and earning their trust, positive referrals and repeat business.
