These services are delivered “ala carte” at a variety of levels from a simple Web site to a entire integrated marketing campaign.
• Packaged services include the implementation of turnkey, pre-defined marketing programs. These programs blend template-based materials with customized messaging to allow small to medium size businesses to purchase a pre-determined annual program of effective marketing tactics such as a Web site, email marketing program, and social media presence.
• Entry-level programs are designed to provide low-cost of entry point for small or start-up organizations. These programs leverage low out-of-pocket cost materials with the seasoned expertise of the consulting team.
• Additionally, SCI Marketing provides customer experience consulting, by reviewing and evaluating all company touch points along the customer lifecycle including account setup, product/service ordering, 800#s and Web-based portals, customer service teams, and other internal departments that come in direct contact with the customer.

SCI provides unique Learning products and solutions that help you meet your goals and exceed your expectations. We align your training strategies and programs to enhance the skills and capabilities of your people and deliver results.

We use a four step methodology to examine your business in a comprehensive and disciplined way. With this approach, SCI arms our clients with the competitive advantage they need to succeed in this challenging environment. The four step methodology consists of:

1. Assessment & Diagnosis– Initially, an assessment of key organizational factors to understand your company is performed. We identify your core strengths, challenges and the potential of your people, processes, performance and profitability.
2. Solution Development & Implementation– Based on our diagnosis, we present you with standard, or customized training programs that will best leverage organizational strengths and close identified performance gaps. Then, we work with you to effectively design and implement the desired programs and interventions to ensure maximum results and sustainability of the learning.
3. Results Mapping & Measurement– We assists our clients to evaluate training programs and interventions on an interim and end-result basis, gauging your return-on-investment in both quantitative and qualitative terms.
4. Sustainability & Learning– We work with you to develop strategies that are consistent with your culture and vision so learning permeates the organization SCI can help your organization, whether it is a small business, or a larger organization.

SCI’s HR Outsourcing is a consulting practice that provides a complete suite of services to enable you to hire, on-board, reward, coach and motivate your employees. Created to provide a complete array of strategic and tactical services that can be delivered at a variety of levels, we deliver turnkey solutions to help you manage your most important assets — your people.

We are a “bespoke” consultancy -- no off the rack. We tailor our solutions to fit you and your business. We do not believe that one size fits all.

Utilizing our Pyramid of HR Functions (see attached), we look at the current state of your business over eight critical HR areas and against your strategic plan. Then we make recommendations to improve the effectiveness of your Human Assets in order to achieve your strategic vision. Finally, we help implement whatever improvements are needed to bring your HR systems and processes up to speed. Our services include:

• HR Audit: Assess the current state of all of your HR policies, procedures and systems; make improvement recommendations.
• On-boarding: Evaluate the effectiveness of your orientation, enculturation, skill profiling and training assessment practices; suggest enhancements.
• Compensation & Benefits: Compare your current compensation and benefits plans to market benchmarks and industry averages; redesign plans to minimize investment and risk.
