The hallmark of resourceful people, as has often been observed, is not knowing everything, but knowing where and how to obtain what's needed. When it comes to improving business practices,
implementing new quality strategies, or figuring out how to meet customer or supplier requirements, someone who has seen it accomplished successfully -- or observed why it's failed -- can be
invaluable. Experience helps bring goals within reach more quickly and easily while avoiding costly mistakes. For many companies, the best source of information derived from experience is a
consultant. Because there are so many consultants offering a wide variety of services in countless disciplines, finding a consultant poses little difficulty. However, consulting trends
come and go, so it's vital to be as well-informed as possible when it comes time to select the person best suited to help guide your company to greater success. Quality Digest
attempts to ease the burden of this selection process with our 2001 Consulting Guide, which gives you a look at what's available in your company's areas of interest. We compiled this list by contacting consulting organizations in the United States and Canada.
Listed alphabetically by company name, the guide, which you can download by clicking here, is organized as a matrix of
consultants referenced to the specific areas of quality management in which they provide guidance. If the particular consultant you were looking for doesn't appear in this year's guide, we
apologize; most consultants were contacted numerous times. However, we have only listed companies that responded to our requests for information. As with all Quality Digest
guides, the 2001 Consulting Guide is intended to provide our readers with an impartial listing. The companies listed in this directory have been neither evaluated nor endorsed by
Quality Digest.
