Introduction

Unsolicited referrals

If you are aware of any professional services which you think could benefit from more active participation in our services to such organizations (such as GUIDE or SICR), or simply think we should know more about their capabilities to better serve executives such as yourself, please:

  •  Introduce them to this website, so that they can become familiar with the scope of what we do, and how they might benefit
  •  Encourage them to contact us directly by phone or e-mail
  •  Tell us if you think we should contact them first

We are not exclusively interested in service providers who might invest in the various GUIDE and SICR services, although that would help to expand our available resources to identify and support more investment projects, and thereby increase the base of knowledge and contacts which can benefit executives such as yourself in the future.  We mainly want to be aware of any service providers whose work has proven to be valuable for executives such as yourself when planning or implementing major investment projects.

Project Follow-up Research

Professional service providers are often unable to share information with us about their work with clients, even if we referred them to the client originally.

Whether we referred you to a service provider, or whether you found the service provider by other means, we welcome feedback about services which you believe might be of interest to future investors. 

You are in a better  position to help us understand the scope and value of their services from the perspective of a client, such as by sharing practical "lessons learned" and "proven solutions" so that we don't have to rely on their promotional claims of valuable service capabilities when making referrals.  Since service providers typically cannot share details of the work which they have done for clients, or be as objective about the actual value of their work, we rely upon executives like yourself for such feedback and referrals.

We don't need to know sensitive project details.  We mainly need to know about their services in practice so we can make good referrals in the future.

Follow-up to Referrals By GDI Solutions

If we have referred a professional service provider to you, we certainly welcome feedback about the outcome of such introductions.  We always hope such introductions will prove to be valuable, but we need both good and bad feedback to continually improve the quality of such referrals.  If we made a mistake, we need to know so that it doesn't happen again.  If our referral was valuable, or perhaps even more valuable than we anticipated, such knowledge helps us to focus and improve our referral work.

You may, for example, benefit significantly from some aspect of their services which we should get to know better because of potential relevance to other executives.  As a negative example, your work together may identify important limitations in their capabilities of which we were not aware, which can also help us to be more responsive to other executives in the future.

GUIDE Service Experience Reports

If you would be willing to be interviewed in greater detail about your own experience (good or bad) working with a particular professional service provider on major investment projects, please let us know.

Whether or not a service provider chooses to prepare a formal GUIDE Service Experience Report to independently document their experience with clients such as yourself for their own purposes (such as for internal reference as feedback to improve their services, or to make a summary Report of such feedback available to potential clients), we welcome the opportunity to develop a more thorough understanding of the value of their services in practice.  They may not choose to introduce us to their clients for this purpose, but clients such as yourself are obviously free to share experiences with us as appropriate.  Once again, we seek both good and bad feedback to develop a balanced perspective which will assist similar executives.
