Welcome to the Literati Group corporate offices.

Here you’ll find a select group of independent senior management consultants. Each of us has more than 20 years experience using communications to help companies build strong profitable businesses, maintain corporate reputations, and manage risk.  Together, we constitute a unique skill set that helps businesses talk meaningfully and effectively.

Specifically, we offer a full range of communications services from high-level strategic counsel to hands-on program execution and tactical support. 

But here’s why you should consider hiring us directly:  Because as seasoned managers we definitively understand the business problems you’re facing right now; and our depth of experience combined with our perspective makes us uniquely suited to provide relief immediately. 

Having lived communications as a business-building discipline…. Having fought the battle offensively and defensively to establish and nurture crucial relationships with customers, employees, partners, regulators, suppliers, media and investors… we formed the group as an answer to what’s happening today.

Our rationale is a response to the market shifts and dramatic corporate realignment post bubble.  Today’s business mantras “simplify the playbook” and “scrutinize every penny,” only further expose the fundamental disconnect in business communications.  It’s broken and that’s a huge hidden cost to you and your business.  Our mission is to fix it.

That’s certainly a tall order; but it’s no longer a choice.  The communications services marketplace has become in large part “cut-and-paste”.  Although prolific, that model doesn’t communicate complicated messages to the diversity of constituencies; rather, it’s resulted in clutter and confusion.  Not only are trust and reputation no longer nurtured by churning out press release after press release, the consequences of the disconnect are everyday headlines.

But as business is presently scrambling to rethink its worldview, the cure is emerging.  The accounting business has just begun to articulate the transition to a “principle-based” approach.  Principles are the remedy for the discontinuities in business communications, as well.  Today, it’s all about restoring fundamentals. 

In essence, that’s why we took the name Literati Group.  One of the most meaningful examples of this type of transition is the rise of Literati.   In 13^th century China art and communications had become homogenized and disconnected.  Then too, an economic downturn served as a catalyst. The Literati rose to prominence in an effort to restore “meaning.”  Expression was restored to communicating the genuine and valuable to the receptive and respected.

That underscores dramatically the deficit in business communications today, as well as what’s needed to fix it.  It also carries our principles.  Our job is to create and manage compelling corporate symbols.  We help companies take “loud”... and restore it to “lasting”; take “volume”... and restore it to “value”; take “buzz”... and restore it to “substance”.  We do this to help companies realign and save money directly.

We invite you to take a moment to meet our Associates (upper left).  Feel free to contact any one of us directly.  Or if you’d like a more formal presentation of the group, call us at 312.482.9229; we'd be happy to arrange it.
