DELIVERING LEADING-EDGE CONSULTING SERVICES IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD

Building on our proud history, we are working hard to continually improve and broaden the range of services that we provide to our clients.

Our Approach to Consulting

GGI’s approach to consulting services has been shaped by over 35 years of assignments with the public sector at the federal, provincial and municipal levels and in the private and non-profit sectors in Canada and internationally. In approaching management consulting assignments, GGI is committed to:

Working with clients to identify clearly their information and service needs

Identifying Needs

Data Analysis

Developing well-supported reports capable of withstanding the feedback from internal and external stakeholders

Developing Reports

Providing fully bilingual facilitation services to help organizations plan and implement change

Bilingual Services

Developing and implementing solutions that are long-term, integrative, state-of-the-art and responsive to the broader context in which client organizations operate

Implementing Solutions

Peer Reviews



Above all, GGI consultants know the differences between facts, findings, conclusions and recommendations and know how to make the linkages between data, information, knowledge and the results clients seek.
