Our Perspective

Our website and Practice Profile rely on graphics depicting nature because it reflects the continual struggle to optimize the world of our client leaders and our strategy implementation colleagues. It seems simple and we take it for granted, and it is very complex and we need to respect the complexity.

A number of principles guide our practice including:

"20% Rule"

We commit 20% of our firm's resources annually to pro bono consulting. It matters to many, encourages us and nurtures a giving culture that engenders respect, trust and teamwork. For decades, our senior professionals have provided pro bono consulting to many, including:

• American Red Cross
• Carnegie Hall
• New Canaan Nature Center
• Supportive Housing Works
• The Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS)
• The Salvation Army
• The Superintendent of Schools, Stamford, Connecticut
• The Town of Greenwich, Connecticut
• US Deputy Secretary of Defense
• US National Institutes of Health
• Voices of September 11

"10X ROI"

It is our policy to only accept engagements involving an anticipated 10X return on our clients' investment in our professional fees, in terms of our clients' improved performance.
