Idea Harbor champions outcome-based contracts, where payment is tied to actual business value, aligning interests and fostering true partnerships. This model eliminates budget surprises and emphasizes accountability and transparency, ensuring both parties are invested in achieving specific goals. By prioritizing business value over billable hours, Idea Harbor is paving the way for a future in consulting that emphasizes value and shared success.
