OSS is based in Boilermaker Country - West Lafayette, IN, the home of Purdue University. A short one hour drive from Indianapolis and two hours South of Chicago.
Due to OSS' structure we have the flexibility to be as large or small as needed. Additionally, our focus is on collaboration and ensuring that the most appropriate team is in place for strategy development and execution. We know where we can add the greatest value and where it is most appropriate to be available to collaborate with other agencies that have specific experience and expertise.
Purpose is defined by both what you are AND what you are not. As a brand, OSS reflects the importance of knowledge, experience and vision in science, medicine and business. We can create and implement but also recognize that it does not make sense to recreate modular business deliverables that can be provided efficiently by other service providers. We are a network of individuals that is always looking to learn, evolve and grow, based on the knowledge and experience, demonstrating that moving forward with vision is an ongoing process. As the saying goes, "wash, rinse, repeat." So in the end we can be something for everyone but never everything for anyone. In that regard one might view OSS as visionary, pragmatic, collaborators.
If you give us a challenge you can see for yourself.
OSS can flexibly structure budgets and engagement contracts based on hourly rates, project estimates or combinations thereof. If the needs are anticipated to be somewhat fluid, OSS can establish an estimated budget based on hours and bill on an agreed upon timeline with hourly rates. If, on the other hand, a project has concretely defined specifications a budget can be developed and invoiced on an agreed upon invoicing schedule. Finally, if a specific relationship is to be built on somethings that are fluid and others that have very clear specifications, the budget and associated contract can be built on a combination of the two, with associated invoicing schedules built accordingly.
