Management Solutions Continues To Grow
Management Solutions is continuing to demonstrate that a home-grown Bermuda firm can compete on a global basis.
When the company started three years ago, the goal was to develop a global consulting practice. Today, Management Solutions has a diverse and growing client base with offices in Bermuda, the UK and a pending office Cayman. The client base includes firms in the public, banking, telecoms and manufacturing sectors.
Don Mackenzie, a Principal and founder says “It is always humbling and risky to start a new business, particularly in the consulting arena where we are competing with established global consulting firms.
“We have been patient and have assembled an excellent team of talented associates. It has taken three years to methodically develop the overseas markets and today we have a strong mixture of local and international clients who entrust us to make an impact on their business.
Management Solutions has grown its associate base to a team of 25 professionals.
Mr. Mackenzie adds: “The practice will continue to expand its geographical footprint based on where our clients take us. We initially opened an office in the UK to serve our European clients and we are now opening an office in Cayman to service our clients there and in the Caribbean region.”
Management Solutions has a core practice in the leadership development arena and this results in client engagements that tend be of a longer duration with a high degree of client retention.
Eric Jenkinson, Principal and the practice leader in the Organizational Development area states: “Our client strategy is quality over quantity.
“While we have a number of smaller engagements and clients, we focus on customers with whom we can have multi year engagement and where we can make a meaningful impact on management performance and culture.
“We have a number of projects that are delivered over a four to five year period, meaning we have the opportunity to have lasting and positive impact on our clients.
Mr. Jenkinson continues: “While Bermuda is a smaller market, we are committed to assisting Bermuda based companies with leadership and culture development. Importantly, we are exposing our Bermuda based associates to local and overseas engagements.
“We believe that Bermudians can perform on the international stage and as we speak we have a number of overseas projects lined up for our Bermudian team”.
Management Solutions is currently recruiting a Practice Support team member to be based in Bermuda and is always looking for highly qualified associates – more information can be found on www.managementsolutions.bm.
