News Release: AHP Offers Proprietary New Business Consulting Tool

News Release posted on May 02 2011 Back to Blog

Andrews Hooper Pavlik PLC (AHP) announces that six staff members have been licensed, trained and certified to facilitate a business evaluation process called the Corporate Body Scan.

Six members of Andrews Hooper Pavlik PLC (AHP) – a statewide and regionally recognized public accounting and business advisory firm – have been licensed, trained and certified to facilitate a business evaluation process called the Corporate Body Scan™, which is part of the SOAR to Strategic Excellence™ business improvement process. The move allows AHP to begin providing middle-market companies with a level of business consulting typically available only to Fortune 1000 firms.

Developed and owned by the Parkland Group Inc., the Corporate Body Scan is a technology-based evaluation process that compares middle-market companies with world-class performers. Unlike dashboards and key performance indicators, the Corporate Body Scan is completed through a one-day, facilitated group meeting and proprietary new software that assesses a company’s overall health and identifies specific steps for improvement.

“These certifications give our firm a powerful new tool that will significantly add value for middle-market companies and our clients,” said Kim Pavlik, AHP’s Managing Partner. “We pride ourselves on delivering timely, value added services, and this process is on the leading edge of that mission.”

AHP members newly certified to facilitate the Corporate Body Scan include Gary Climes, Duane Reyhl, Michelle DeRidder, Kathy Morris, Greg Soule and Duane Hershberger.

Because it is a one-day process, many middle-market companies find the Corporate Body Scan a financially viable alternative to teams of traditional corporate consultants spending weeks analyzing a company. The process is a self evaluation that requires no preparation. It has been proven to increase employee engagement, generate dialogue and consensus among management and to improve profitability.
