Advanced Performance Consulting Group Debuts at No. 20 on Prestigious Washington Technology 2004 'Fast 50' List.

WASHINGTON -- APCG Recognized as One of the Fastest-Growing Small Businesses in Washington Metropolitan Area 

Advanced Performance Consulting Group, Inc. (APCG) has been named to the Washington Technology 2004 "Fast 50" list. The list recognizes the fastest-growing small businesses in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, based on the growth of their federal, state, and local government revenue over five years. APCG, a woman-owned management consulting firm serving the public sector and specializing in performance management, change management, strategic communications, and strategy services, debuts on the list at No. 20, with an annual growth rate of 100 percent.

"We are honored to be recognized by Washington Technology as one of the fastest-growing companies serving the government sector," said Kimberly McCabe, co-founder of APCG. "Rather than building the company by outside investment or acquisition, we have focused on bundling our offerings to meet the client's specific needs and growing within our core service lines. As a result, we have built a solid reputation for providing government transformation services, and attribute our success to the fact that we deliver the high value, quality solutions that the government market needs to succeed. It's gratifying to know that our customers and partners have placed their confidence in us."

The federal government is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Driving this massive modernization effort is an underlying imperative for the government to deliver demonstrable value for the investment. This stimulus for change has been growing over the last 15 years and has reached a point where leaders in top government positions are now capable of driving significant change within their organization or agency.

"We believe in what the government is trying to do and are committed to helping federal agencies accomplish their missions," emphasizes Ngozi Irondi, APCG's CEO. "Using experts in performance management, change management, communications, and strategy, our teams excel in understanding the business challenges that our clients face from the inside out. Because of the diverse backgrounds of the APCG staff and our virtual environment, we have significant flexibility and agility and are able to assemble the right team at the right time to deliver highly tailored solutions that deliver measurable results."

In the dynamic and competitive federal government marketplace, APCG attributes its success to holding true to its founding principals and values and achieving name recognition with both federal agencies and other government contractors by consistently providing high-quality, customized solutions. Clients recognize the industry knowledge and deep expertise that allows APCG to solve complex problems; and appreciate the fact that APCG brings focused, tailored methodologies that guarantee results.
