strategic advisory
Knowledge & Expertise.
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.
project delivery
Customized Approach.
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.
staffing services
Top Talent On Demand.
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.

Pros
A small but effective team who are genuinely passionate about creating the best experience for their clients and consultants. Firms that do this are a dime a dozen, but Strive excels and not making the same common mistakes that every other firm does.
Cons
With any growing organization, there are some growing pains. But the leadership but at this location and at headquarters in Chicago are very self-aware and are taking the right steps to avoid the pitfalls that can stifle growth.
Advice to Management
What got you here won't get you where you want to go tomorrow. Embrace change. I believe in the company and the direction, but more importantly, in the people. Take care of them and they will take care of the business.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Strive Consulting.
Interview
The interview process at Strive was timely and enjoyable. I was contacted to schedule a pre-screen phone interview shortly after sending in my resume and cover letter. The interviewer told me that I would be contacted two days later, which I was. We scheduled an in-office interview on a day that worked for the both of us. When I arrived at the office, I was introduced to various employees; everyone seemed super friendly and open to answering any questions I had. The interview itself was professional but comfortably laid back, and his responses to my questions were clear and helpful. He mostly asked me questions on my knowledge of the company, industry, and goals I had during my time with Strive. I was contacted on the day that I was told, only a few days after being in the office. Overall, a very good experience.
