Corporate Travel Audit
KesselRun provides corporate travel industry expertise across the entire corporate travel supply chain. Our consulting engagements are flexible, ranging from running brief project to long-lasting, multi-year program support or management. Key to our model, our engagements are custom-tailored to meet the needs of our clients’ corporate travel programs while providing the most value and return on investment possible.
Of all of our consulting engagements, our corporate travel Program Audit is by far our most popular. Our Program Audit gives our clients a holistic and unbiased look into every aspect of their travel program. The four to six week engagement was developed with the busy travel manager or procurement professional in mind and is broken down into two simple project phases:
Phase 1 - Discovery of Corporate Travel
KesselRun conducts both traveler surveys and stakeholder interviews to ensure we understand our client’s program goals and objectives. Surveys and interviews also provide us and our clients a solid understanding of the client’s unique corporate culture and as a result inform KesselRun of strategy and tactics that may or may not be successful given competing corporate objectives, nuances in policy, unique business requirements, and more. This Corporate Travel Assessment involves:
Phase II - Strategic Review of Corporate Travel
KesselRun utilizes Discovery results to formalize a set of key objectives for the final review and audit results. Our final deliverable is structured in any format desired by the client to be best utilized to execute against the recommendations provided by our consultants. It is our goal to provide the client all of the information and tools they need for their program to realize direct benefit from the corporate travel audit:
