Management Consulting firm successfully
converts rigorous military training in
leadership, decision-making, and tactical
planning into a sound and
successful business model
Frazer, Pennsylvania – Founded in 1997 by three project management professionals with extensive military backgrounds, Greencastle Associates Consulting, LLC was established with the sole purpose to assist service companies in the execution of specific business plans to facilitate the achievement of their business objectives.
According to co-founder Celwyn Evans, “Our mission at Greencastle is to implement our clients’ strategies and initiatives using process-oriented project management services. Essentially, we build the bridge between strategy, idea and operational success for our clients.”
A consulting firm is only as good as the teams it fields, and the Greencastle consulting teams are world class. All stem from exemplary military backgrounds with training under the most rigorous conditions. However, the consultants’ business backgrounds are extremely diverse, including law, economics, engineering, and business, adding to their ability to form experienced and talented teams to assist their clients in the implementation of a wide range of business strategies.
But it is the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) model, which stresses rapid deployment and assessment in critical operations, with a major emphasis on teamwork that Greencastle has adapted so well to the business world. And, as evidenced by their impressive record of successful engagements, the adaptation has proven very effective.
One specific engagement involved the thorough re-examination of a client’s entire revenue stream, from customer acquisition, through billing, posting and general ledger. The result was a greatly improved receivables picture, netting the client a savings of $12 million.
“Our people are resilient managers and dynamic leaders, comfortable with both structured and ambiguous situations, effective under pressure, and adept at devising and implementing innovative solutions,” added Jake Kretzing, co-founder and partner.
During another engagement involving a Fortune 500 company, Greencastle implemented a control center that resembled a military “war room”. The center monitored all information and actions related to field systems, customers, the media, and community. It resulted in the quick processing of information, rapid decision-making, and the synchronization of the company’s business operations.
Mark Stabile, co-founder explained, “To be truly effective, we need to achieve the intent of the project which is the same as our client’s personal and organizational definition of success. At Greencastle, we help companies produce those results.”
