Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Izzy & Lou?
Isaac (Izzy) and Louie (Lou) are my best friends, my dogs! Our name, IzzyLou Studios, Inc. was born during a brain storming session.   The concept of Studios is that we create custom and unique offerings   Hence, IzzyLou Studios, Inc. was born.

What do you do?
We provide custom management consultation, product & services campaigning and management and adult instruction.   Professional development, consulting, architecture, Remedy Development, one-on-one coaching, and curriculum development and facilitation make up the majority of the services we provide to the education and business community (private and public sector).  Our staff is available for onsite training, consulting and presentations.

I’m a business, not a school so your classes aren’t for me right?
Absolutely not!  We have courses on change management, leadership, generational & cultural differences and other topics that apply to all people either businesses or schools. Then we have highly technical and user training.  Let us know what your vision is and we will customize the course just for you.

What can you do to improve our company services?
There are many focuses, it depends on your vision.  We provide full lifecycle services, from conception to decommission. The catalyst of everything we provide is to create a positive experience. This can be creating customer retention, training/education, needs analysis, developing/redesigning processes, analyzing performance issues, documentation, developing a campaign, facilitating meetings/discussions, managing projects, developing architecture, and/or influencing stakeholders.

Where do I start?
Because we are non-profit, we will provide a free consultation over the phone.  We have a set process which helps you understand your needs and allows us to give you a starting point.

What is my ROI?
We have a history of exceeding expectations 99.6% of the time.  Many of our experience a return on their investing within the first month.  Depending on how much work we need to deliver and at what level/stage we evaluate your service to be at, will depend on your ROI.

What makes you different from everyone else out there?
First we are non-profit! We are here to help YOU succeed!   We operate as a TaskTeam. All team members have worked together for a minimum of 10 years. We employ teams that have been displaced from their company. Each team is well rounded in skills and because they have worked together for at least a decade, team dynamics takes a back seat to the task at hand.   With the ability to focus on the project/task, instead of team building, most projects are implemented 30% earilier. This brings the ROI to the company faster, and typically reduces the cost of the project.

A whole team comes onboard, isn't that expensive?
First we are non-profit! We are here to help YOU succeed!   Let's take the typical, six month project, where you hire one person to complete it. First, our research and surveys show less than 60% of those contracts actually finish on time, and I'm being generous. The one person view, plan and implementation typically has gaps forcing the projects lifecycle to be shortened and needing to be revisited within a year.   If you paid $50 p/hr for this person, and it took them 12 months to complete the project and implement the project, you would have spent $104k on that labor and again you will be turning around redoing the project because of the gaps typically within a year. Satisfaction of the project may not be optimal, and all in all, the project was ‘average’. Let’s say your profit on the service is $12k a month to start, which means you will not realize your ROI for about a year and you will have already had a need to revamp the service before your ROI   You have the ability to hire a two – five person team. Our average is a 2 person team can cut 2- 3 months off of a 12 month project; a 3 person team can cut 4 – 6 odd of the project; a 5 person team would cut the project time in half at minimum and deliver an increase in profits with a campaign to build up the service. So, dollars, 2 people increase your labor by 26% but your ROI would be earlier and the risk of revamping before ROI is realized is significantly low. A 3 person team increases your labor by 26% but your ROI would be 50% earlier and the risk of revamping before ROI is realized is typically non-existent; 5 person team increases your labor by 26% but with our campaigns we tend to bring sponsors in and build customer awareness that will cut the ROI by 50% as well. With our teams and full lifecycle process, our implementations mitigate risk and foresee future needs well enough that gaps are not seen for 4 or more years, thus reducing the overall cost of maintenance.
