What makes Gardner & Associates Consulting different?
--We are management consultants, not technology consultants
 | We 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. |
| We 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
 | We're concerned with all dimensions of the problem
 | Business process |
| User interface-inputs & outputs-to the application(s) |
| Integration points with users |
| Integration points with other IT applications |
| Integration of "knowledge" with the IT applications |
| Creation, maintenance, and status reporting of data on an ongoing basis |
|
|
| We have to integrate (and, in most cases, define) the business process with the technology
|
| We define the mission for the technology consultants |
--We're not technology consultants
| There is no "one-size-fits-all" technology solution-each vendor tend to represent their solution can "do it all" |
| Technology that may have worked well in one company may be inappropriate for a company in the same business or industry |
| Technology 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 |
| They are the builders of roads-they can't tell you where the road should be or what it should look like
| A 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

| 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."
