What to Expect
Project orientation.
Clients expect a result, so we treat each effort as an individual project, with a clearly defined scope, a beginning, and an end. This helps to ensure that all participants and stakeholders can evaluate the outcomes against the investment.
Formal project
management techniques.
Lina Group employs formal project management approaches (e.g., project definition and chartering, work plans, time lines, budgets) to ensure that all participants and stakeholders have a common understanding of what is to be done and how the outcomes will be achieved.
Collaborative effort.
Each client project is a collaborative effort between the client and Lina Group. The work we do cannot be conducted in a vacuum; it always requires participation by client personnel. Accordingly, we always reflect client hours in work plans to ensure that clients are realistic about the commitment they must be willing to make. Every project involving outside consultants has an internal, as well as external, cost. It is important that clients be realistic about the demands the project will place on them.
Facilitation.
No one knows more about your business than you do. And no one can walk in and develop your strategy and plans for you. What we can do is lead you and your leadership team through a process and guide your analysis. Sometimes that’s as simple as pulling it out of your heads and putting it down on paper in an organized fashion. And sometimes it requires more intensive analysis and effort. Either way, we will help you get it done.
A consistent approach but flexible process.
Every situation is completely different. We focus on outcomes, and tailor the process to fit the individual client needs. We also play different roles, depending on client needs. |

How We Help Our Clients
Lina Group, Inc. only works with client companies and individuals that are committed to laying a foundation for and pursuing market dominance. We work with the executives who are responsible for growing the business — business unit presidents/CEOs, leadership teams, managing partners, managing directors, etc. We provide training, tools, and consulting services to help clients understand and apply the Apollo Method for Market Dominance™ to their situations. We bring the right team to each client situation by drawing from a coalition of more than 30 consultants, as well as several specialty firms with whom we have alliance relationships.
Lina Group experts are prepared to help clients with each of the Apollo Method's four interdependent stages. The Apollo Method™ is applicable to any size firm or practice area within a firm. We help clients use it as a guideline and tailor it to the situation based on an organization's size, resources, goals, and culture.
Go to the Apollo Method Summary Matrix™ to see examples of the types of projects we have helped clients conduct. But it is not just our ability to execute the pieces that sets us apart — we are uniquely capable of making these pieces work together to systematically drive the firm toward market dominance.
We Guarantee Our Clients' Satisfaction
We guarantee our clients' satisfaction. If a client is not completely satisfied with our services, we will, at that client's option, either waive professional fees, or accept a portion of those fees that reflects the client's level of satisfaction.
We Welcome Risk-Reward Sharing
We are interested in success-sharing arrangements. We are firmly committed to our clients' long-term success in their chosen markets and have built a method that seeks to help them achieve this. Therefore, we are willing to participate on a risk/reward basis, with the expectation that the plans we help craft will result in long-term shareholder value for the company.
