The Re*Mode
Manifesto

Vision for a Resilient Workforce

Re*Mode was created in response to the widespread layoffs that affected numerous industries last summer (2023). Many talented professionals with decades of experience were suddenly displaced, some just before retirement. This disruption highlighted the need for a new approach to career stability and job security in the modern workforce.

Addressing the Pendulum of Employment

The employment market often swings like a pendulum—from layoffs that lower salaries to hiring booms that drive them up again. This cycle creates instability and short-term thinking among employees and companies. At Re*Mode, we strive to create a balanced alternative by helping companies build long-term value through Learning and Development programs, mentorship, and meaningful work policies.

Long-Term Value Creation

Our approach includes creating transparent hiring practices and aligning company and employee goals. By training employees comprehensively, even those who eventually move on will be better positioned in the marketplace. We advocate for maintaining positive relationships with former employees, fostering a network of well-trained professionals who can bring future opportunities back to the company.

Supporting Clients in Transition

Our clients are businesses navigating challenging times and new technological landscape. They need to streamline processes and ensure survival and to eventually thrive again. We assist them by automating, refining, and optimizing their operations, thereby alleviating the burden on their remaining employees. From there Re*Mode will be a consistent ally to client leadership and encourage a proactive approach to scaling, economic and societal factors.

Strategic Growth and Sustainable Practices

We advocate for a balanced approach to growth. Instead of rushing to expand, we focus on incremental sales increases and maintaining financial buffers to ensure stability. This approach contrasts with the MBA-driven, numbers-focused strategies that often lead to economic and societal disruptions.

Efficient and Effective Solutions

We offer value-based pricing and package services, aiming to complete projects within two weeks to two months. This includes evaluations, recommendations, and implementations tailored to each client's needs, ensuring quick, flexible and effective results.

Empowering Experienced Professionals

We support seasoned professionals transitioning to consultancy, whether as a stepping stone or a new career path. With over a decade of experience in digital advertising production, I recognized an opportunity to help these individuals build their brands.

Creating Impactful Content

Content is king, and often serves as the second-best thing to an interview. Our goal is to help consultants create content that showcases their expertise, experiences, and decision-making processes. By doing so, they can attract clients who recognize their unique value and insight. This content will position them as thought leaders, ready to be discovered by CEOs and leaders who seek their unique insights.

Sharing Knowledge and Experience

Many of our consultants have a wealth of knowledge they wish to share. Our aim is to provide accessible, low-cost resources for a global audience, including students and career changers. These resources can guide and inspire individuals toward new career paths they might not have considered.

Building a Community of Consultants

Re*Mode aims to create a supportive structure for consultants, especially those new to the role. We handle the administrative burdens—project management, contracts, negotiations, payroll—allowing consultants to focus on delivering their expertise.

A Call for Transparency and Fairness

We believe in transparent communication and fair practices. By fostering an environment of openness with employees, we aim to create a sustainable and equitable business model. This includes considering profit-sharing options and ensuring job security post-acquisition, giving employees the stability to plan their future.
