28 Clarkston Consulting Testimonials

“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.”
