Brief Conclusion
CLA was destined to be different.
Nearly every industry has changed in the past 20 years, while consulting firms have stayed the same. They propose every project with a one-size-fits-all approach, charging by the hour. That’s good for the firm, but is it suitable for their client's project and company?
We knew we could do better. For two decades, we have engaged with our clients differently, customizing plans and proposals at our own expense. CLA agreed with our strategy for success and began redefining the values needed to support each of their projects.
