28 Clarkston Consulting Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I cannot commend Clarkston enough on their professionalism through a difficult project considering the size and complexity. I would personally recommend Clarkston Consulting for any future projects involving tech implementation.”

“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.”

"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."

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“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."

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

"Banner and Clarkston have a true partnering relationship. Once the plan was set and the work had begun, the line between the Banner personnel and Clarkston personnel was completely eliminated. One team, one set of goals, all working together with mutual respect, consideration and cooperation."
