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. I knew the Clarkston team wouldn’t disappoint!”

“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.”

“Clarkston ran a very thorough, comprehensive vendor selection process for us and we valued the dedicated resource. We were able to dig deep into the potential providers program to make an informed decision and could not have done this with our own limited staff. Clarkston provided a neutral resource that went between us and the potential providers to avoid direct communication.”
