Welcome
to the Consultant Referral Network,
Bringing
Consultants and Clients Together.
Get Started
Improvement Consultants:
Organizations (Clients) Seeking Consultants:
Looking for a Six Sigma consultant?
An ISO auditor? A leadership coach, a diversity trainer, or a strategic
planning expert?
Sometimes locating an organizational
improvement expert is difficult. There are many out there, but unless
you already know who they are - or you get lucky through word of mouth
- it is oftentimes challenging to find them.
This unique service is intended
to connect experts - consultants, trainers, facilitators, coaches, and
speakers - who specialize in some aspect of organizational improvement
to those organizations desiring to hire them.
What makes this service unique? Two
things. First, it focuses on organizational improvement. There are other
tools that help you locate doctors, dentists, and plumbers. But there
are very few resources available to locate organizational improvement
consultants. Second, the tool allows the hiring organization (the "client")
to search for vendors based on their specific needs. So, rather than
sorting through dozens or hundreds of possible consultants on a particular
subject matter expertise, this tool will allow you to narrow your search
for the consultants that meet your specific requirements - requirements
such as sector/industry expertise, location, size, and years of experience.

Sponsors helped in part to
fund the initial design of the Consultant Referral Network. Though the
service is intended to eventually become self-sustaining, we do have
a need for additional funding of some planned enhancements. If you are
