The Alliance's platform is based on the belief that clients deserve to receive full return on the investment they make in implementing enterprise-wide business transformation strategies to support revenue generation in their businesses. The client's dilemma is this: Management Consulting firms List of Management Consulting Firms 1. McKinsey & Company 2. Marakon Associates 3. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) 4. A.T. Kearney 5.

Roland Berger traditionally offer high powered solutions, but miss the mark on ensuring that the client is fully able to implement the solution throughout the organization. Conversely, Training providers often implement a solution layered upon a weak or faulty company infrastructure, creating frustration, lack of accountability and loss of corporate credibility, rather than achieving results. By combining both Firm's core competencies, shared knowledge, and resource integrations, Poole/EBI will offer clients greater choice in a marketplace currently driven by solutions that offer very limited return on investment. "This Alliance provides a powerful value equation for clients," stated Barbara Poole, President of Poole Resources. "Together, we can help clients fully capture opportunity by ensuring that senior management strategy is fully operationalized in the business. Unlike traditional consulting projects based solely on activity rather than results, clients now have a fully dedicated resource to ensure that business results can and will be achieved." "Our research shows that executives who are satisfied with their 3-5 year strategy express low confidence in their organization's ability to execute on their strategy," stated Elaine Berke, President of EBI Consulting. "More powerful strategies are needed to address the current and potential problems that executives know exist in their organizations. We can provide the strategies to break through traditional barriers enabling clients to compete faster in a changing and demanding customer environment." Poole Resources and EBI Consulting provide clients with a combined 23 years of both Firm's consulting experience serving clients in the retail, franchise, insurance, technology, manufacturing, consumer products, and banking industries.
