Values Based Leadership Group Inc.

What Values Based Leadership Group Inc. does

Value Leadership Group, Inc. is a privately-held boutique strategy consulting firm headquartered at 600 Third Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, with a registered branch office in Eschborn, Germany. The firm serves large enterprises and multinational corporations seeking strategic guidance on global competitive dynamics, offshoring strategy, emerging-market positioning, and operating-model transformation. Its research practice is anchored by Professor Srinivasa Rangan, whose methodology builds on nearly a decade of work with Professor Michael Porter at Harvard University, providing the firm with academic-grade credibility. The firm is led by President and CEO Peter Schumacher with Allan Francis as Chairman and Founder, and is registered in Delaware (registration number 3691903).

The firm's core offerings are human-delivered consulting engagements and proprietary research publications rather than any software or platform product. Visible work products include the "India: An Emerging Research Cluster" research paper (based on engagements with research centers of more than 20 companies in India including Philips, ABB, Motorola, HP, GM, and Tata Group) and the "New Competitive Paradigm in European IT Services" analysis, both distributed as downloadable PDFs. There is no app, API, SDK, or packaged technology layer; the firm's "core technology" is its consulting methodology and next-practice research framework. Marketing is conducted via thought-leadership content, industry conferences (e.g., the 2007 Stockholm conference co-hosted with Handelsbanken Capital Markets), and selective expert interviews in publications such as Belgium's Offshore Update.

Value Leadership Group operates a direct, partner-led enterprise go-to-market. Pricing is structured as custom consulting engagements and is not publicly disclosed. The firm is founder/management-owned with no external investors, parent company, or venture funding disclosed. Customer concentration targets large multinationals across North America (USA), Europe (Germany), and global emerging-market fronts (India), with no specific end-customer logos named in the source material. Distribution is weighted toward research, conferences, and PR channels rather than large-scale demand generation.
