Strategic Partners

Depending on the requirements for each task, Jay Gronlund often partners with other consultants or researchers in the U.S. and around the world, who have a special expertise that could contribute and ultimately enhance the quality of the final results. As the service business becomes more outsourced, this strategy of teaming up with trusted professionals provides clients with an added dimension to an assignment e.g. local knowledge of a market, reliable connections, professional experience in related fields, and finally a more cost effective solution for their challenges.
