Strativa was founded in April 2000 by Frank Scavo and Dr. Daniel Husiak.
The two had worked together to build a business consulting practice within
the midst of rapidly-growing Southern California technology services firm.
Although the new practice was successful, they soon discovered that their
association with the technology firm was problematic. The main issue was
that the firm had strong partnerships with several technology vendors,
in some cases even reseller relationships. This often created conflicts of
interest in serving prospective clients who were looking for guidance,
especially for major IT decisions.
The bursting of the tech bubble in 2000 and the looming recession
gave the two of them the opportunity to put their vision for a management
consulting firm on a purely independent foundation, and Strativa was born.
At that time, they documented their vision for Strativa as written below.
Independent Advice
Business
conditions today are more challenging than ever. Executives constantly
face global opportunities and threats, changing economic conditions,
stricter regulations, and disruptive technologies. Each of these
challenges demand executive time and attention to formulate alternatives
and decide a course of action.
Yet,
business leaders are already stretched to their limits. Responding to
cost pressures, companies have thinned the ranks of management and
barely have adequate resources to handle day-to-day operations, let
alone take on new initiatives--even those that could bring significant
improvements.
When
executives look within the firm for help, they often find that
internal staff lacks the expertise in best business
practices or new technologies. Or, because they may be personally
affected by the change, they may find it difficult to consider all
options.
When
executives look outside for help, they often find that their traditional
advisors have conflicts of interest. Many consulting firms--not just technology consultants, but also management
consultants--have become
biased. They have vendor relationships they must maintain, products they
represent, and even sales quotas they must reach--none of which are of
interest to the client. As a result, executives have few good
sources for advice that is truly objective and independent.
Strativa
is a management consulting firm providing independent advice for
business and information technology decisions, along with practical
assistance for implementing those decisions for bottom line results.
We work
directly with senior management to formulate business strategy and
remove constraints to business performance. We facilitate strategic
roadmapping to plan practical actions to achieve business objectives. We
assist in implementing strategic initiatives, including redesign of work
processes and organizational structure, where appropriate. We advise
management concerning best practices and leading-edge technologies,
audit the effectiveness of existing systems, and objectively evaluate
and implement new solutions.
