No World Borders - consulting, staffing, outsourcing, and investment banking.

Since 2000, No World Borders has provided strategy, marketing, operations, process transformation, compliance, investment banking, and implementation consulting services to some of the most successful companies in the world.

Our name was inspired by the increasing need for “borderless” collaboration across application, organizational, and geographic boundaries. We collaborate with clients to define a clear path, identify and remove roadblocks, focus on tangible results, and produce long-term value. We focus on how companies can maximize their organizational effectiveness. We help clients address organizational challenges, clarify desired outcomes, and leverage their most valuable asset, their people by helping to create a shared vision of success within teams.

1. All organizations face change. We help you embrace it. We assist in injecting creativity, flexibility, and a partnership focused on innovation. The ability to manage and embrace change is critical for effective organizations that are globally distributed or that have grown via acquisition.

2. We believe in helping companies create value through "empowerful" innovation. Empowerment is one thing, but letting your employees know that they are encouraged to help tweak your company and develop new products, services and strategies is much more empowerful. By encouraging people to "fix things" as well as tweak the company, companies can more efficiently translate vision and strategy into reality and action. This isn't just a radical idea from Silicon Valley. The US Navy has employed this technique to transform the worst ship in the Pacific Fleet into the winner of the prestigious Spokane Trophy, which is awarded to the ship with the best combat readiness in the fleet.

3. We help you focus on core competencies and development of repeatable methods for delivering excellence. The most winning companies in the world, regardless of size, industry, or state in their evolution, have universal characteristics: a focus on core competencies, and a repeatable method for delivering excellence. Usually, achieving excellence requires coordinating people, process, and technology effectively.

System & Engagement Approach with Our Clients

Value Proposition

In these ways, we are able to help leading companies respond to change and challenges posed by a rapidly evolving economic and regulatory environment.

Like the largest consulting firms, our projects are managed by talented Partners, Principal Consultants, and Senior Managers. Unlike the largest consulting firms, we create value through project teams and by finding synergies. We are nimble. The synergies we offer are between people, companies, clients, products, services, technologies, and investors with expertise drawn from a network of thousands of consultants, partners, service providers (legal, accounting, computing infrastructure, outsource and near shore software development, call centers), venture capital firms, and private equity firms.

Unlike the largest consulting firms, we do not place the most talented partner on your business, only to have them depart after the first few weeks of the project. We are agile, with a lower cost of doing business and we pride ourselves in providing senior consultants throughout the process.

The result: No World Borders delivers quality work, with deeper, valuable, actionable insights.

Our consulting teams have already seen -- and solved -- the issues our clients are facing. We deeply understand the business problems facing our clients and our teams don’t have to learn anything on the client’s dime – we add value on the first day.

We add value at either the strategy and/or implementation level. Typically, we are asked to start with strategy development, and then move into the implementation phase. Sometimes we are brought in after the strategy has been developed and the client needs assistance with implementation. Either way, we are here to serve our clients’ needs, the way our clients would like those needs addressed.

Most importantly, we pride ourselves on our consistent achievement of High Client Satisfaction. We know we’ve achieved High Client Satisfaction when our clients not only ask us to continue with our business relationship, but strongly recommend us to their peers.
