Like all management consulting firms, we work with businesses to improve performance by providing expert advice and solving difficult problems. But Buds Group is not like every other management consulting firm. Here’s how we are different:
The first difference you will notice when you engage Buds Group is that our experienced advisors are on the ground working with you every step of the way.
While bigger name competitors have individuals with similar experience, these individuals will spend little to no time directly involved in your engagement. The day-to-day work will be mainly completed by junior employees with significantly less experience.
Our senior advisors are all client facing and are expected to work directly with clients on a daily basis!
We know what you are thinking, senior advisors working daily on the engagement must drive up the price….but that is actually untrue! Because we are a smaller firm, with significantly less overhead, we run lean.
This translates into a significantly lower price point for our clients. Many times, our clients are shocked to find that the rates we charge for our senior advisors with 15-20+ years of experience is half of what bigger name firms charge for junior advisors with less than 5 years of experience!
Traditional management consulting firms help you to define the strategic solution and your future path. We here at Buds Group do the same.
But we don’t stop there! We continue to work with you as a partner through the implementation stage to ensure your execution goes smoothly!
The Buds Group Difference – we see your project through to its completion, with experienced advisors, at a fraction of the cost of our competition.
STRATEGY
At BudsGroup, we work with boards, executives, and management to develop robust corporate and business unit strategies. We work to help define the vision for the company today, tommorow, and into the future.
We then help to create a structured plan to implement this vision, and to ensure alignment across the organization. A vision is only as good as its execution, and proper execution can only occur when the entire organization is rowing in the same direction, toward the same goal.

PROCESS & OPERATIONAL
A strong strategy can only take a company so far. Beyond strategy a company needs strong operations that align people, process, and technology with the overall goals of the company.
At BudsGroup we have developed a proven approach to analyze current processes and develop new ones that provide dramatic improvements in efficiency, productivity, cost, and/or quality.

TRANSACTIONAL
Large transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, or spin-offs often require external assistance. Your employees are focused on their day-to-day responsibilities yet these transactions require a significant amount of time to be dedicated.
In addition, these transactions are often complex and require a special skillset that internal employees often don’t possess.
