At The Evans Group we are global business partners… Finding and fixing what businesses often don’t see is wrong. Our motto is: “Whatever experience you are having you are creating.” The Evans Group LLC, rated in the top 100 boutique consulting firms in the U.S., was started by Dr. Chip Evans, PhD. over 36 years ago. Our firm encompasses management consultants and business advisors, including over 50 licensed consultants, working all over the world. Priding ourselves on being unprofessional, we don’t create fancy PowerPoint presentations, or show up in a blue suit and red tie, and you won’t hear the usual buzzwords like you will from the big name consulting firms. Instead you’ll get No excuses – blunt in your face honesty! We often tell you what you DON'T want to hear, but we help improve your business. Building upon the foundation of analyzing & advising businesses, our reputation of “no buzzwords, in your face honesty” is quite well known. Typically business owners, entrepreneurs, or CEO’s / Sr. Vice President’s that run companies are too close to what they do, or what they are told, and are both blindsided and distant from what really happens in their business. TEG works from a trans-personal psychology based execution of review, and constant restructuring and continuing development of a company. Our methodology is not that of termination of staff, although it can be, but instead finding what's working and what is “made to work.” Our simple goals: • Increase sales & market share • See from only the customer’s point of view • Decrease employee turnover • Become more profitable Most plans and businesses fail because of a lack of execution. At TEG we believe no business plan lasts for more than 6 months, and that plan is in constant flux, should be fluid by definition, and that all key steps in all a business does must work around execution and accountability.
