Question 1

What does ConsultFactor do?

Accepted Answer

ConsultFactor provides program and project management leadership for government and commercial organizations. We stand up PMOs, lead complex multi-stakeholder programs, recover troubled projects, oversee capital expansions, and manage ERP/technology and ISO-aligned initiatives. We embed experienced operators who lead from the front and leave behind documented processes, trained teams, and governance that sustains results.

Question 2

How is this different from a staffing firm?

Accepted Answer

We are NOT a staffing company. We don't place permanent employees. Our operators embed with your team for a defined engagement period, drive transformation, build processes, and transition out — leaving sustainable systems behind. Think of us as consultants who actually roll up their sleeves and lead from the front.

Question 3

What is your primary service?

Accepted Answer

Program and Project Management is our lead offering. We set up PMOs, lead multi-project programs, recover troubled projects, oversee capital expansions, and manage ERP/technology and ISO engagements across government and commercial sectors. We also offer interim operations leadership when clients need experienced leadership to fill a critical gap.

Question 4

How much does an engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement is scoped to your specific project, sector, and objectives, so we provide a tailored quote rather than fixed packages. After a short discovery conversation, we recommend the right engagement model and provide a clear proposal. Request a quote and we will respond within 24 hours — there is no long-term lock-in.

Question 5

What industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve government and commercial clients across 10+ industries including manufacturing, aerospace & defense, automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, construction, energy, technology, healthcare, and government/federal. Our operators bring deep domain expertise and ISO/AS compliance context.

Question 6

What does 'outcome-focused' mean?

Accepted Answer

We measure success by KPIs achieved, not hours billed. Every engagement starts with clear, measurable objectives — whether that's reducing project cycle time by 30%, cutting operational costs, or standing up a PMO. We track progress and report results transparently.

Question 7

How does the Exceleor ecosystem benefit me?

Accepted Answer

ConsultFactor is the human leadership layer of the Exceleor ecosystem. When you engage us, you get access to supply chain optimization (SupplySourceSync), quality systems (QMSLean), ISO certifications (Applied Guidance), compliance (ComplianceFortress), and digital transformation (OPZ360) — all coordinated by your ConsultFactor program manager.

Question 8

How quickly can you start?

Accepted Answer

After our discovery call, we can typically scope and kick off an assessment within 1 week. Program and project leadership engagements usually start within 2-3 weeks. For urgent project recovery or interim leadership situations, we can mobilize within days.
