28 Clarkston Consulting Testimonials

“Thanks to [the Clarkston team] for managing deliverables and staying on time with tasks. PMO didn’t exist here before you and [client counterpart] arrived, and it’s much needed!”

“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."

"Banner and Clarkston have a true partnering relationship. Once the plan was set and the work had begun, the line between the Banner personnel and Clarkston personnel was completely eliminated. One team, one set of goals, all working together with mutual respect, consideration and cooperation."

“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.”

“In more than 15 acquisitions, this was the first time that we’ve brought in an external partner to lead the integration of a new brand into our business. Clarkston’s ability to quickly assimilate into our teams, engage with our executive team and manage a cross-functional integration plan, with minimal disruption to our base business, was critical to our success.”

“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."

"Clarkston’s change management methodology shifted our organization’s mindset and helped employees embrace a new open work environment. They developed a program that seamlessly integrated our new workplace strategy across all levels of the organization."

“The Clarkston team delivered a high-quality product that could be imbedded in any major biopharmaceutical company and stand up to the rigors of a Pre-Approval Inspection (PAI). Clarkston delivered a Quality Management System that is easy to defend, because it does need to be defended. The product included the appropriate content and level of detail expected for a PAI.”

"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."

"For a growing company like Pompeian, selecting the right consulting partner is important. The team from Clarkston Consulting was able to jump in quickly to help us solve our business problems and truly understood our industry."

“Our core values are Trust, Caring, Integrity and Responsibility. Clarkston very clearly exemplifies these values in everything you do and have been a natural fit within the [company] culture. 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.”

“I want to share how impressed I am with the whole Clarkston team. The team’s leadership was so critical to our success with this important project. I am truly impressed with how the team navigated such a complex group and topic.”

"The strength of the Clarkston team is their culture, they listen and hear the client."

"Clarkston’s consultants showed genuine interest not only in our business but in our people. They aligned themselves with our goals and efforts and worked tirelessly alongside us to ensure we succeeded. I’ve never worked with anyone who cared as much about our success as they did."

“One of those practices is to have collaborative and integrated business planning, and to help us with that we engaged Clarkson, a boutique consultant."
