In my new role when presented with the challenge to create a Digital Strategy, I knew I needed a partner that I could trust to bring professional expert level SAP , business process , data and technology consultants that are patient and flexible. This team dissected our current state and built a vision for our future state that is realistic, achievable and will truly help our company digitally transform.

“We initially engaged Clarkston to assess our overall technology platform. Through the process we were impressed with their capabilities to evaluate our ability to support anticipated future business needs. We knew our current technology would not support these needs, Clarkston helped shape our strategy to modernize our technology platforms and to structure appropriately to achieve our goals. Clarkston helped us identify necessary changes to support our future growth as well as those things that we were already doing well. Their ability to blend industry expertise with real-world, pragmatic thinking has been a difference maker for our business."

“It’s easy to find a project manager. What’s difficult is finding one that’s committed to the output first and not just the process. So much of project management becomes a practice in checking boxes. But with Clarkston, it was refreshing to work with people who dug in, learned all they possibly could about our business and the solution being implemented, and then executed a plan that fit us rather than forcing our organization into a template. Their attention to detail and commitment to the outcome makes them a true partner.”

“One of the things we really love about Clarkston is that they, like us, are data-driven. Clarkston’s platform provided an opportunity for us to uncover some of our organizational blindspots and also to understand where some of our strengths were as an organization, and then provide an action plan from there.”

“The collaboration between the team members on this project was so strong it was nearly impossible to differentiate between Intuitive people and Clarkston people. That said, Clarkston’s presence–with its detailed knowledge of our business and industry, its strong project management skills, and its deep knowledge of SAP–was felt throughout the effort and played a major role in our success."

"Implementing a robust SAP ERP system based on global process design, coupled with a Shared Services model, strong change management program, and partnering with Clarkston Consulting proved to be the right answer for The Charmer Sunbelt Group."

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Clarkston’s performance and hope that we can continue to work with you as we move forward on our TPM journey.”
