The Arnold Group Competitors

Our passion is enabling teams to find the best approach to their markets and customers. Through our vast experience working with globally diverse companies with diverse business cultures, we understand the importance of flexibility and speed. Our proven tools quickly help teams voice their opinions, and promote alignment to help make robust decisions.

MAP’s specialized role in management consulting is one of strategic alignment: We provide the measurements, comparisons, and action recommendations that enable top decision-makers of large enterprises to anticipate how their leadership teams will perform when expected to excel in new business environments. Track-records and current abilities may be well known, but to what degree will leaders, business units or overseas offices meet different expectations once circumstances change? MAP offers the proven capability to predict performance, and to then rapidly align leaders with the shifting operations and strategy that accompany altered settings. We operate on a global basis to quickly and accurately assess the alignment between the company's strategy and its executives, and recommend opportunities for improvement.

KD Consulting was founded in 2006 when Kristin Daley left a 16-year career with larger consulting firms to begin serving clients independently. She has been providing strategic consulting services to clients in consumer industries since 1990, when she joined Swander, Pace & Co., and she continued her strategy consulting career with Kurt Salmon Associates following the merger of those two firms. Her passion has always been, and continues to be, consumer business strategy creation. Kristin personally provides services to all her clients. Supporting work is often provided by consultants drawn from her network of colleagues. Team members are selected based on their specific background and experience as best suits each client's specific needs. We see our role as agents of change and put a strong emphasis on helping clients implement the recommendations we make. Our working style is highly collaborative - we do not have solutions or products in search of applications, but rather are committed to working closely with clients to understand the root causes of a problem or the unique nature of an opportunity. We pride ourselves on our success in developing effective and lasting working relationships and have proven our ability to help companies prosper and add strategic value in even the most competitive environments.
