Our Story
ENKI, LLC (ENKI) was born on February 27, 2006 by a brave woman executive from Verizon Wireless. Brave because she had always been a corporate employee and she jumped away from the “mothership” to change the world of consulting forever.
Before ENKI started, we walked in your shoes. We were corporate leaders for Fortune 500 companies with P&L responsibilities and owned the delivery of strategic initiatives and goals. As executives, we were looking for, and couldn’t find, consultants interested in forming a real strategic partnership. A partner that walked in our shoes, could solve real business conundrums, could be a trusted surrogate leader so we could go focus on other efforts, and an honest advisor that imparted knowledge to our team. We didn’t need another dusty report, a bank of MBA analysts fresh out of school, or 100+ developers in some distant country doing whatever, and billing us or that whatever.
Below is a bit more about us, the culture we strive to fulfill everyday and how we conduct ourselves to achieve our mission of changing consulting for the better. Oh, there is also a Manifesto below that opens a window into our view of consulting - enjoy.
Our Core Values
“It is not a slippery slope, it is a cliff.” At ENKI, our integrity is our brand. There are no hidden agendas, hidden sales, conflict of interest, or consultants learning how to do the job. We stay true to our word and deliver what we promise.
Integrity
ENKI prides itself on being honest. Our employees are aware that successes and failures are both learning opportunities. Our experience has shown that even when there is bad news, it is best to address it early and openly.
Honesty
ENKI trusts our employees to execute their commitments, but we verify with quality reviews. We trust that you and your team know your business. We trust our clients in words and actions while we verify with analysis and group sessions.
Trust
ENKI respects the individual, your business, and your culture. We realize that without respect we will miss critical information that drives our other core values.
Respect
It is a step, not a leap. We believe that continuous professional learning is the key to sustained success. Our consultants take time outside of consulting work to explore new areas of interest and to contribute to society in an effort to improve themselves, their surroundings, and your outcomes.
Continuous Improvement
Our Manifesto
Leap of faith?
Ever wonder why parrots are so expensive? It could be that they are often confused with consultants who just repeat what they hear.
We believe in a better way. We believe in real experts and real experience. We believe in trust, integrity, innovation, and the simplicity of execution.
We believe that consultants should focus on the value to your bottom line and should be trusted partners during your most important strategic transformation success.
