markets.

than a decade, since our founding in 1992.

You probably have seen some consulting firms sell their
service through senior partners but then deliver services
through more junior staff.
Quattro is different.
Our senior people always lead each team. They always interview
customers themselves. Because we are selective about the
number of projects we undertake, clients know they benefit
from getting insightful, practical, experienced leadership.
What, When, and Why?
You’ve probably heard presentations from consultants
who didn’t really understand your business. Perhaps
their information may have even been good, just a bit
too thin.
Quattro is different.
We believe successful growth strategy depends on a core
understanding of customer and clinical issues as well
as competitive challenges. Quattro interviewers routinely
probe with customers, going deeper to ferret out growth
opportunities. We also maintain a database of thousands
of healthcare decision-makers who we have interviewed
over the years: Providers, Payers, Business Managers,
Surgeons, Nurses, Specialists, Generalists, Community
Practitioners, Preeminent Thought-Leaders. All major geographic
markets: US, Europe, Asia. We always thoroughly mine customer
feedback. Good growth strategy depends on it.
Perhaps your consultants have given you conclusions that
seemed too qualitative or even that sounded like glittering
generalities.
At Quattro, our content is different.
We insist on marrying precise, quantitative rigor with
thorough customer and competitor insight. For example,
in order to meaningfully size a ‘large opportunity’,
we might model revenue and profit growth in key market
segments (product or geographic), starting with procedures
in each segment and incorporating interview-derived changes
in growth rate, ASP and share. Our goal is always to use
the discipline of ‘the numbers’ to target
sources of growth.
You may be aware that some strategy consulting firms have
a reputation for being ‘clingy’, something
like a shadow management team. They may seem to be ‘always
around’, participating in most every meeting.
At Quattro, our style is different.
Of course, we always work collaboratively and interactively
with our clients: to frame a project, discuss interim
results, incorporate organizational capabilities into
strategy. But importantly, the essence of our work is
external – on customers, competitors and markets.
We pride ourselves in the creation of frank, relevant,
unvarnished insights. For a client’s management
team we want to be an asset, never a replacement.
You may have hired outside consultants that you had to
educate before they could really begin doing effective
work for you.
Because of our industry focus and healthcare experience,
Quattro is different.
Since we know our way around the healthcare industry,
we get to the heart of business issues quickly. We’re
fast. We’re on-point. Because we know the lay of
the land, our clients count on us to bring sharp clarity
to their critical strategic questions.
