Bob Brickley and Barbara Gardiner, principals at Business Development Systems…

…ground their work with documented tactics and tools built to create sustainable strategic direction and energy.

…work only with clients who share their values. In this sense BDS acts as a "buyer" of projects, not a "seller" of products and services.

…focus first on relationships, dramatically improving the odds that changes in strategy will carry lasting value beyond the consulting engagement.

…are entrepreneurs. And like their clients who have to deal with constant risk, the principals of BDS are not afraid to be vulnerable in these times of uncertainty, ambiguity and unpredictability.

Barbara and Bob are "consultants with an attitude". They are leaders... not facilitators. How do they differentiate themselves? Both were successful business leaders before they opened their consulting practice. They know your challenges because they have had to personally face many of them.
