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!”

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

“Clarkston was flexible and supportive of our needs as a young, pre-commercial organization. We were hoping to find a trusted advisor to help us along in our journey. We feel we were successful.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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."

"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."

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”
