FC Insider is for our long-term members who are committed to making a substantial, positive impact on the world, accompanied by rapid career progression. Like all loyalty programs, initial and continued access must be earned.<\/p>\n
There are 3 different ways to become an FC Insider:<\/p>\n
Option A: Join Premium<\/a> and earn FIRMSconsulting Insider status after 6 months of consecutive membership (on your 7th renewal). Thereafter, the FC Insider status is retained until membership is canceled or lapses. Continuous membership is required to maintain FC Insider status.<\/p>\n Option B: Join Premium<\/a> and earn FIRMSconsulting Insider status immediately. Skip the 6-month waiting period by paying for the previous<\/em> 6 months as if you were a member during that time. This is not<\/em> a pre-payment, and a monthly Premium subscription is required to remain as an FC Insider. Thereafter, the FC Insider status is retained until membership is canceled or lapses. Continuous membership is required to maintain FC Insider status.<\/p>\n Option C: Subscribe annually<\/a> and immediately earn FIRMSconsulting Insider status. Your next renewal will be 12 months later.<\/p>\n You can save 33% by selecting Option C.<\/p>\n Members must pay for 6 consecutive months of Premium membership BEFORE becoming an Insider: 6 x $167 = $1,002.<\/p>\n Thereafter, 12 months of FC Insider access costs: 12 x $167 = $2,004.<\/p>\n Therefore, the total cost for 12 months of FC Insider access is: $1,002 + $2,004 = $3,006.<\/p>\n Members skip the 6-month waiting period to earn FC Insider status.<\/p>\n Total cost for 12 months of FC Insider access = $2,004.<\/p>\n Total savings: $3,006 \u2013 $2,004 = $1,002.<\/p>\n Percentage savings: $1,002 \/ $3,006 = 33.3%.<\/p>\n There will be major updates to 3 areas:<\/p>\n SCR-Advanced contain the editable documents to some unreleased programs (listed below), programs already released, proposals, workshop packs and communication templates.<\/p>\nSCR-Advanced is the largest and most innovative resource we have ever launched. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n Since it takes longer to record, edit and release the videos, some studies and their editable documents will appear in SCR-Advanced much earlier than they appear in our video streaming service.<\/p>\n We focus our updates on career management, strategy, operations, digital, implementation and risk programs. Each of these are full studies, and there are more to come.<\/p>\n Our Advanced Knowledge Management System aka<\/em> SCR-Advanced also includes project management tools and full CRM capabilities. Note that, as per above, SCR-Advanced membership requires an additional fee and approval.<\/p>\n Here are some programs for which updates are scheduled.<\/p>\n Other existing programs will be updated and announced closer to the update.<\/p>\n FC Insider status is lost when your Premium subscription ends\/pauses\/lapses. Monthly Premium members must renew their membership monthly, and annual Premium members must renew their membership annually.<\/p>\n FC Insider status can only<\/strong> be restored by re-subscribing to Premium (access to StrategyTV.com\/apps) and remaining a Premium member in good standing for another<\/strong> 6 consecutive months, or by following payment options B or C above, if such options are available at the time of your return and subject to approval.<\/p>\n We understand that sometimes there are billing problems outside of your control. If this happens, you have a 14-day period where your access is blocked, but you will immediately return to FC Insider status upon fixing the payment problems and covering the payment gap and admin fee when applicable.<\/p>\n After 14 days, access cannot be restored and all credits and\/or access to FC Insider are lost. However, if you have special circumstances and inform us before the 14 days elapse, or have a valid reason why you could not contact us within 14 days, cover the payment gap and manual activation charges, we will work with you to try and help you retain your FC Insider status.<\/p>\n Once FC Insider status is granted, a member will remain within the elite FC Insider group for as long as they remain a Premium member in good standing<\/strong>\u2014by upholding our terms and conditions<\/a>, honor code<\/a> and expectations of professionalism.<\/p>\n There is little correlation between what we like and what will help transform our career.<\/p>\n If you want to be successful and move ahead of the curve, all the content is for you. Even if it may not seem to be immediately applicable to you, dive in and extract everything you can to help your career. You will see how the insights, approaches, and tools we teach are easily transferable between different industries and functions.<\/p>\n See the reviews for the programs and books here<\/a> and here<\/a>. You will see that we have a wide variety of clients who share our strong value system and commitment to solving tough problems that matter to the world.<\/p>\n Our content is relevant to everyone. If you are in industry or a partner in a boutique firm, a banker, research PhD etc. you may want to ignore the case interview training. Yet, you need to know the basics of calculations, building frameworks and solving problems before you can fully benefit from the advanced material.<\/p>\nKevin Coyne, a former McKinsey world-wide strategy practice co-leader and a contributing partner for FIRMSconsulting, mentions that a key assumption he makes is that viewers have the basic problem-solving skills taught in earlier programs. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n If you do not have those skills, the FC Insider content is more difficult to understand.<\/p>\n For example, the Andrew program is about building an innovation practice at a major professional services firm. You would most likely ignore this program if you didn\u2019t care about innovation or work at a professional services firm. Yet, to become a partner, one must be able to sell between $4-5 million worth of work.<\/p>\n The program with Andrew is about how we taught him to sell\u2014it\u2019s about sales and implementation. It is incredibly detailed with approximately 200 episodes and more to come.<\/p>\n It is focused on the innovation function for a professional services firm, but the skills are relevant to every FC Insider. Many FC Insiders have transformed their careers across various industries and functions because of this single, in-depth program.<\/p>\n The biggest mistake clients make is ignoring a program because they think it is not directly applicable to them.<\/p>\n Programs often focus on 5 different areas:<\/p>\n So, if you see a program called \u201cEntering the US Banking Market,\u201d remember it is a market entry program, and it will be helpful for you even if you are not in banking. Because you can learn from one of the 5 areas outlined above, you are investing your time wisely\u2014these programs are extremely valuable to see how we structure, plan and execute analyses, manage the client, write up slides and conduct focus interviews.<\/p>\nThe subject of a program is not important. Critical skills like structuring a study, developing hypotheses, storyboards, analyses and presenting to CEOs will be important to anyone, anywhere. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n Define what you want to learn, locate it and then focus on it.<\/p>\n In other cases, some clients just want to learn the IT strategy approach, for example, taught in that program. We understand why that may be the case. Yet, we truly want you to succeed in the long-term. It is far more effective to learn the underlying way we think so that you can develop your own approaches. If you do not learn this, you will spend a large chunk of your life searching for the best approaches, but each problem is unique. It\u2019s important to learn how to develop unique approaches\/solutions to whatever problems you may encounter in your career.<\/p>\n I believe that everyone who is willing to work hard should have an opportunity in life. I want to offer you what I would have greatly benefited from in my own life. To create such an opportunity, we created many affordable books you can benefit from to start getting results, and to put yourself in a position to be able to afford FC Insider access.
