“Partnering with clients to create and sustain genuine performance improvement” Q4 Solutions has an approach to business which is as invigorating as it is challenging, as focused as it is fun and as popular as it is surprising. Always pointing towards the end result, Q4 seeks to establish “communities of performance” that last long after its work has been delivered. Engagement process The envy of the industry, Q4 Solutions has an exclusive set of business measurement tools that enable benchmarking across any discipline. This establishes an accurate and detailed picture of the business from day one which can then be mapped against its over-arching objectives. From this point, the project team is given a ‘clear line of sight’ between where they are and where they want to be. This quickly develops into a rare opportunity and challenge for clients to see just how good they can make their business and is the true definition of collaborative working between Q4 Solutions and their client. Skills transfer The whole process is driven by getting the business to achieve its goals through existing talent - creating a safe & exciting environment where its employees are encouraged and empowered to excel. Inevitably, this leads to the development of new skills and processes that are necessary to move the business forwards. Q4 Solutions works on the basis of embedding these skills, rather than simply contracting them in for the duration of a project. In this way, clients are left with an enduring legacy of improvement which is both self-sustaining and profitable! Core values Q4 Solutions has also established a set of core values by which it approaches its work (see right).
