The Boulevard2015 Issue 1Is CrowdsourcedAnalytics the Futureof Consulting?

From the PartnersFriends and colleagues,Several years ago, we found ourselves traveling to a number of States to visit clients and share regularupdates on the latest movements made on our analytics projects as consultants with a big firm. Thetime spent travelling can certainly get you thinking. Day after day, project after project, our capabilitiesand relationships grew. But, so did our trust in one another. At that point, things “clicked”, and we bothknew what we had to do.In 2013, we started Boulevard Consulting to offer clients an opportunity to start – and finish – projects alittle differently. We were interested in “the never settling” – doing more than writing a report thatlooked great in a binder, or what many are seeing (and are seemingly comfortable with) today assettling for the contract that keeps giving with unjustifiable results. Today, we find ourselves digging intodata systems for information that many folks are not even aware they are responsible for, and helpingour clients use a plethora of such data in more meaningful ways.Our firm was founded with a vow to build an organization that would never waver from its goal ofproviding only the best analytical services to our clients. Seemingly cliché, but we have continued toadhere to that vow we took just a few years ago by providing rigorous analytical services to both federaland commercial clients that continue to realize the results we – and our clients – seek. Questioned manytimes on why we would start a company during a federal financial fiasco (sequestration), we respondedsimply with “how better to test the quality, resolve, and capabilities of our new, innovative firm”. Yearslater, and with the firm stronger than ever, the more difficult path has proven itself to also be the mostworthwhile.We turn away from offering our clients what they already have. We’re not those people, nor that firm.We are experts in analytical methods and applications that help our clients make better buyingdecisions, find value in disconnected IT environments, develop ways of evaluating performance withoutsystems or data at the ready, and even build more optimal ways of performing daily job duties. Fromhealthcare to supply chain to manufacturing to military, our experts are here to provide the value ourclients have needed to really solve challenges.Ryan C. BurgeJames P.
