Some Valuable Insights from Eyal’s Desk
Hyperion Global Partners has revolutionized the consulting engagement model with its unique and tailor-built services. Describing how Hyperion is different from others, Eyal says,
“In founding Hyperion, we set out to create a new model consulting practice that challenged all of the conventional wisdoms of the industry. We innovated in the way we hired, the services we offered, the way we delivered those services, and the way we charged for them. In many ways, we became the “anti-consultancy”:
- We don’t charge for time. We believe that time is least valuable way to measure the value we deliver. Our entire model is focused on harnessing the expertise of our team to deliver tangible, actionable, compelling solutions to our clients and to innovate in the way we deliver those solutions.
- We have assembled a team of the best and brightest in the industry to bring unparalleled expertise, with a healthy dose of pragmatism, to help our clients align and execute their strategic business objectives.
- We’re not opportunists, and we’re not all things to all people. We focus only on the things we know better than anyone else, and our clients hire us precisely because we’re the best at what we do.
- We radically changed the professional delivery model to challenge the highly linear revenue model predicated on leveraging people; we pioneered the scalable professional service.
“Hyperion is focused on transformation while others focus on very tactical work – install a new technology or document processes, etc. – we provide a more holistic approach to operations and information management, leading our clients through broad-based transformation programs that serve to dramatically change the way they work and the results they achieve.”
Hyperion’s innovation has borne many fruits. They not only challenged the status quo, but have created an entirely new market by doing so – one they have defined and lead. Eyal’s innovative approach has garnered widespread acclaim, and his team have established a presence of immense influence. Hyperion advises and guides all major market stakeholders – buyers, solution providers and investors – and have become widely acknowledged as the leading legal solutions provider.
Eyal’s Advice to Budding Entrepreneurs
Eyal has witnessed many ups and downs in his journey as an entrepreneur. Sharing that invaluable experience, he says, “It’s actually not easy at all to be an entrepreneur. In my lifetime, I’ve met many people who thought they were entrepreneurial, yet only a small fraction of them really were. Being entrepreneurial means two things: first, having the drive and imagination to create; and second, accepting the risks and challenges required to execute them.”
