KesselRun launches series of benchmarking and consulting modules that quickly assesses client program effectiveness.

KesselRun, a full service corporate travel consulting firm, is offering a series of “rapid results” (5-9 day) programs that are equally effective for both small and large corporate travel programs.

Cathy Newbill, KesselRun’s Program Management Director explains, “We have been meeting more and more corporate travel business owners that want simple and quick answers to three basic questions regarding their travel programs: Am I getting what I need? Am I paying too much? Am I situated for continued optimization and cost savings? It makes sense given the dramatic changes to the industry coupled with the fact that the vast majority of corporate travel business owners don’t have deep industry knowledge.” Each module has been developed to minimize time and expense for the client but to maximize results. Newbill adds, “I think that the success of our Strategic Review engagement that we launched about a year ago where our consultants go in to a client and review the entire program was the impetus for these smaller engagements. As a former travel manager and having been in this industry for over ten years, I have never seen a client change all of its processes over night. Corporate travel change is a slow process and these individual programs allow KesselRun to identify the most significant opportunities individually while enabling the client to make incremental but big program improvements.”

KesselRun is focusing on five key business intelligence assessments but can custom tailor a program to meet its clients needs:

• Travel Agency Assessment
• Online Booking Assessment
• Air, Car, and Hotel Contract Review
• Travel Reporting Assessment
• Travel Technology Assessment
