Working with Alphanova Consulting has been a real eye opener.To give you a little insight in what we do, we are motor rental company in the Oil and Gas Industry. The way he was able to come in and dive into our whole business structure was impressive. He dissected our process step by step and showed us our inefficiencies. He actually provided stats on how much we are leaving on the table. After that, he took the time to personally coach me by giving me a different perspective in what management is and what it can be. During this time period I was working on a huge project that I felt good about. Once Dan got through with me, I re-evaluated my current work and re-did the entire thing. I’m very thankful for all of the help he provided me with, and I strongly recommend him. He targets the process and the people.
