Management Consulting

BirchGrove Consulting LLC is a client-centered services business that delivers objective analyses. The results of the analyses provide some or all of the necessary intelligence to inform strategic and tactical decisions for commercial and government organizations.The client-tailored results are measured, honest, quantitatively-driven, evidence-based, and readily usable. The ideal BirchGrove client, whether a public agency or a commercial enterprise, needs to measure the magnitude of challenges or opportunities too problematic for their existing researchers to quantify. Questions in the mind of the client might include: • What's my market share? • Am I missing any market opportunities? • Does it make sense to pursue different market areas where I don't participate? • How do I win the next job? • Are my competitors doing better than me? Why? By how much? • Can I improve the value of my organization to its stakeholders?During more than 45 years' experience of observing, assessing, and assisting public sector and commercial organizations, the president of BirchGrove has provided independent third-party analyses to help those organizations make better decisions. Demand for the analyses is not always explicit, but often arises when an organization is facing growth and competitive pressures in its market.Sometimes executives have had to admit that predicted performance was not met or cannot be sustained. This situation becomes particularly pressing when the political economy changes, affecting how much a government entity will spend on contracts for services and products, and the organization fails to adapt to forecasted changes. Recessions, war spending, healthcare reform, inflation, deficit control, and technology simplification are examples of changes where adapting to forecasts can mitigate declines in organizational performance. BirchGrove helps its clients set new courses of action.
