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!”

“From the beginning, Clarkston was more than just an advisor or extra worker – they became an integral part of the project team and our success.”

“This was our real opportunity to make a significant difference to the way we run our facilities for years to come. Sometimes people don’t want to change, but what I’ve found through this project is that given the opportunity to contribute to the outcome, folks embrace the change.”

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

“In past roles, I have partnered with Clarkston on projects with various scope and various complexities. 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. I knew the Clarkston team wouldn’t disappoint!”

“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.”

“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."

“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.

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“From my perspective, one of the things that made this project so successful was that the Clarkston team brought a backbone of technical subject matter expertise in supply chain, planning and forecasting and supplemented it with operational support, implementation, and training."

"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."

“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.”

“I am extremely pleased with Clarkston’s project & program management training and coaching support for our organization. The instructors were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also able to provide real-life, practical examples and guidance. Clarkston’s dedication to helping my team and my business truly exceeded my expectations and I could not have asked for more.”
