28 Clarkston Consulting Testimonials

“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."

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

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“This analysis gave me a wide range of insights of our formal and informal networks, flow of information, and leverages to pull as we think of new ways of working onsite, remote or hybrid.”

“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.”

“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.”

“This project has enabled reduced and more effective trade spend, efficiency in applying cash, creating, coding, clearing and matching trade disputes, increased dispute collections, retirement of unsupported systems and better overall internal control in our processes.”

“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.”

"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."

“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.
