What makes Gardner & Associates Consulting different?

--We are management consultants, not technology consultants

bulletWe are independent of any technology solution providers. We look for the best technology fit based on our client's needs, not try to force a specific technology into a client's business.
bulletWe look at problems "holistically" - we're concerned about the problem from the perspective of solving a specific business challenge across the enterprise and even beyond the enterprise to the extended enterprise (Dealer and Customer), not just addressing a departmental problem within a company
bulletWe're concerned with all dimensions of the problem
bulletBusiness process
bulletUser interface-inputs & outputs-to the application(s)
bulletIntegration points with users
bulletIntegration points with other IT applications
bulletIntegration of "knowledge" with the IT applications
bulletCreation, maintenance, and status reporting of data on an ongoing basis
bulletWe have to integrate (and, in most cases, define) the business process with the technology
bulletWe define the mission for the technology consultants

--We're not technology consultants

bulletThere is no "one-size-fits-all" technology solution-each vendor tend to represent their solution can "do it all"
bulletTechnology that may have worked well in one company may be inappropriate for a company in the same business or industry
bulletTechnology consultants don't do "management consulting"-they provide electronic infrastructure but often know little about the underlying business process or business problem-they rely on firms like ours to assist them
bulletThey are the builders of roads-they can't tell you where the road should be or what it should look like
bulletA technology consultant can tell you what's the best software approach to take given a sound understanding of a business problem, but, without that understanding, can't tell you which software approach is appropriate

--Ability to write about and communicate complex principles across the enterprise

--Our track record and expertise helping clients be more successful dealing with technology consultants and deploying new applications

--Training

--Pragmatism

Testimonial
To become one of the most effective consulting firms, we mentored with one of the top consultants in the world--Alan Weiss.  Here is Alan's assessment of our firm:

"Gardner & Associates Consulting can save its clients a lot of money. What they do is complex and sophisticated, usually affecting every organization in a company. This requires collaboration, teamwork, a hands-on understanding of the implications of certain process decisions, and careful examination of the trade-offs of different approaches. They have a keen understanding of how companies operate and the information hand-offs from group to group. They bring a lot of intellectual property to the table, a rarity in their consulting space."

Alan Weiss, Ph.D.  Consultant & Author: "Million Dollar Consulting"
