  Isn't it more cost-effective to have junior executives or junior consultants assist with the more mundane client tasks? Why do senior consultants have to do almost all the project work?
The only client-related tasks which could conceivably be considered to be 'mundane' are those administrative chores usually associated with project execution e.g. generating invoices, ordering supplies for a project, large-scale photocopying. These are therefore, handled by administrative assistants or 'secretaries'. All other project tasks are more effectively handled by skilled and experienced professionals who then don't have to double-check a junior' assistant's initial efforts. ThreeSixtyOne doesn't require its consultants to justify their workweek through time-sheets and thus, "revenue efficiency through (client-)billable hours" is not an issue. We also don't have anyone on staff who find the occasional, menial office task beneath them.

 
What is the significance of our name, ThreeSixtyOne?
When the idea to set up a consultancy with high standards first came up, the founders and the main shareholders played with a variety of names. They included those names which were ordinary (So-and-so Associates), those which were obtuse (BroadDaylight ) to the downright frivolous (PressureCuff).
