About us

When you engage with IQ, you gain access to thousands of your peers worldwide and their collective experiences. You can’t afford the luxury of contacting each one of them individually, so we’ll aggregate their knowledge and make it easily accessible for you. We’ll also help you test the applicability of their experiences to the specific situation you face and to the projects you want to launch. Think of us as your unbiased knowledge aggregators, since we’re not involved in the politics of your organisation and we are committed to the conclusions shown by hard data, we can tell you what you need to hear instead of telling you what you want to hear.

The Hackett Value Grid™ clearly shows your firm's performance in comparison to world-class and a relevant peer group. Only those firms that reach the top quartile in both effectiveness and efficiency metrics meet the Hackett definition of world-class. Our statistical definition of world-class is measured through a proprietary formula for weighting costs, cycle times, error rates and other key performance metrics.
