What is Ascent's primary business?
Ascent is a business-to-business project management, field services, and product acquisition company whose specialty is to take on those extraordinary and not so extraordinary items on our clients' every changing 'to get done lists.' Particularly, when there's an apparent shortage of staff or resources available within the client's current organizational structure. Many of the tasks and projects undertaken will likely be time-consuming but pretty straightforward and uncomplicated.
We are also here to be tasked in areas more sophisticated, multifaceted perhaps, requiring coordination or set-up at more that one venue, in multiple cities, on the same or varying timelines, in areas the client may have little experience, or any and all of the above.
Who are typical clients of Ascent's?
They recognize that they can be most productive in business and in life in a more efficient, cost-effective way by 'outsourcing' to a dedicated Business Support Service Company those tasks and projects that would otherwise take too much of their time and energy away from core business. They seek relief from various tasks or projects that fit within their current mandate but aren't manageable with existing operational resources. They've come to realize that they simply aren't getting enough done and could use help from a dedicated and trusted resource like Ascent Business-life Management.
They possess an ability to delegate, to avoid micro-managing, to seek to leverage intellectual and dynamic resource capital perhaps not available within their daily operations, and to maintain better corporate and personal health and well-being for themselves and their key people. There's also the inherent ability to foster a two-way exchange of information, and to share some proprietary information and certain decision-making with a dedicated and trusted outside core Planning, Supply and Services Company.
Why Ascent?
To value time, money, and goal setting is to talk to Ascent in setting up an extended project management services plan to work in concert with your organization's goal setting. When dealing with the right decision-makers, the benefit of having Ascent as part of the client organizational structure outweighs the cost every time.
In managing and servicing an account, "we say what we'll do and do what we say."
Why outsource with Ascent?
Our client's decision is often weighted in having scant time and scarce physical and human resources, in the redirection or conservation of energy dedicated to core business, and to realizing better efficiencies in existing staff time, capital, and dynamic resources.
From a personal lifestyle perspective, there is the ever-increasing home, social, and internal pressure to not overload either themselves or their senior and most-talented people, to seek a balance of work-life with personal well-being - and the need for a business-life services company they can trust!
What makes Ascent different?
Fundamentally, what we do is save our clients money... Money in lost time and measurable productivity... Money in senior management and talent attraction, acquisition, retention, and loyalty.
Our goal is to become the most trusted business-life and personal services company in our client's address book - an integral part of their organizational structure. An objective is for our clients to become at ease enough to leave whatever it is they've asked of us, to us... Since time is money - why not save both!
How does it work?
Like many we contract ourselves for services and products to be rendered, but in our case, it doesn't stop there! The relationship may begin with the client delegating some of the more practical things they need done right away... but as we move forward, if anything is needed, anything at all, they'll have come to realize that all one need to do is ask. Eventually, they will have less need to request fulfillment, as our familiarization with their business will allow us to be 'proactive' to their needs - much like we've been 'reactive' to their specific requests.
Who are the Ascent team leaders and consultants?
We will assign a 'business-life team leader' to be the primary contact of the Ascent Team, one that will work to communicate directly with the client and key areas of their business to deliver the products and services contracted. Those we challenge to take complete care of our clients and the organizations and brands they represent, are hand picked to be personable, bright, energetic, organized, and passionate about what they do. We look to them to be full of common sense and personal integrity!
