The Manta Group Approach

As a management consulting firm, the Manta Group has a number of differentiators. Of primary importance to our customers are:

• our use of publicly available best practices to ensure our customers can be self-sustaining
• our focus on effecting change through governance framework
• our mandate to build customer capability through effective knowledge transfer rather than take advantage of the lack of capability

We are also fully cognizant that no two customers have identical challenges and therefore an adoption of a generic model of best practices can quickly turn into an empty promise. Through our tenure in the industry, we have developed the RAPID approach to transforming “a generic best practices” into “a specific right practice” that effectively address the unique characteristics of our customers. Since our formation, we have collaborated on the specific approach of RAPID to leverage the power of best practices such as CobiT, ITIL, PMBOK and NIST that best suit the unique demands and capabilities of our customers within both public and private sectors. RAPID ensures that the application of best practices:

• is pragmatic and takes into account the current organization strengths and areas of improvement, both in the short and long term
• is solution/outcome centric and effectively addresses process/practices, organization/people and technology/tool obstacles that get in the way of delivering value
• enable organizations to transform the use of both capital and operating expenditures and deliver value-added services and solutions that are aligned with current and future priorities and demands
• result in recommendations that are aligned with the varying maturity and capability of the organization

RAPID stands for Robust Vision, Assessment, Plan & Promote Change, Implement Change and Diligent Evaluation. Its name stands true to its meaning as the use of RAPID has enabled our customers to rapidly adopt best practices.
