Founded in 2006, Strive is a privately-owned, national business and technology consulting firm that helps clients solve complex business challenges and deliver on strategic initiatives by using expertise across our Management Consulting, Technology Enablement, and Data & Analytics Practices.
With over 400 employees nationwide working with over 100 enterprise-level clients, we ensure that we can attain goals and solve problems. Our flexible engagement model, consisting of Strategic Advisory, Project Delivery and Staffing Services, allows us to customize solutions and execute the needs of the client.
We pride ourselves on our ability to blend our top consulting talent with niche expertise from our network. We guarantee to provide the teams and solutions you need to transform your organization.
Our teams consist of business and technology experts from a variety of well-known companies and consulting firms. We apply this knowledge and experience to evolve strategies with roadmaps, assessments, and insights to optimize the business.
Holistic, Practical Approach.
We understand what it takes to implement complex programs and projects. As a result, our teams are focused on creating actionable plans to quickly deliver results by helping connect technology strategically to the business.
Low Risk, High Value Engagements.
We engage small, nimble teams of experts to create strategies focused on quickly delivering valuable results.
We recognize that every project and client situation is unique and adjust our approach accordingly. While we bring perspective and best practices to each engagement, we maintain flexibility to be able to deliver in ways that best suits our clients’ environment.
Optimized Resource Mix.
Each engagement requires a wide variety of experience and expertise. Rather than building teams that are limited to resources that happen to be on the “bench” or providing on-the-job training for those resources, Strive’s model provides the unique ability to assemble highly talented teams from our Consulting Practices and consulting network to ensure we have the specialized expertise required to successfully deliver.
National Expertise. Local Delivery.
While we are a national firm with a broad base of experience across our 400+ consultants and vast network of independent experts, we deliver the majority of our engagements locally. We believe this results in more value for our clients as travel costs are eliminated and quality increases with the close alignment of our resources and the client team.
Over the last ten years, we have built relationships with the top consultants in the marketplace. This strong network of experts allows us to engage the best possible resource for each engagement.
Expert-Based Screening Process.
Unlike staffing firms, Strive is able to involve experts from our Consulting Practices to thoroughly interview, screen, and vet candidates to ensure their capabilities match our clients’ need.
Oversight from Consulting Practice.
Our resources receive management, guidance, and support from our Consulting Practices to assist with challenges and to achieve success.
