KesselRun Launches New Diagnostic to Quickly Identify Key Areas of Improvement for Corporate Travel Programs

KesselRun, a full service corporate travel consulting firm, is now offering a “rapid results” (5-9 day) Strategic Review of corporate travel programs.

"Our Accelerated Program Review, or APR offers a low risk way for clients to quickly identify key performance indicators and set a meaningful action plan around meeting corporate objectives,” explains Michael Brennan, Partner, KesselRun Corporate Travel Solutions. KesselRun’s new diagnostic consists of a four part analysis that surveys corporate objectives, existing technology, current travel program, and corporate traveler behavior. The diagnostic utilizes these inputs to align specific initiatives with defined business goals. At the end of the analysis, the client is provided with a well-defined set of strategic priorities and a clear understanding of how to execute these goals to maximize ROI. KesselRun consultants also have the expertise to source and implement technology or programs resulting from the initiative.

“Corporate travel programs and the value associated with them from the corporation’s perspective are changing almost daily,” Brennan adds. A growing number of corporate travel departments are being heavily influenced by Procurement and there are just far too many inputs for Procurement Managers to keep up. Even traditional corporate travel managers typically don’t have their fingers on the pulse of everything going on in the industry and the immediate effect to their programs. KesselRun works closely with travel managers to help gurantee their success.

“Corporate travel is typically the second largest discretionary spend and our clients want quick answers,” says Brennan. “The APR is a real win-win. KesselRun understands the client’s need to get fast and meaningful results and KesselRun wants to provide solutions that not only make sense but will provide long term value.”
