The firm has successfully managed more than 9,400 client engagements nationally with a significant percentage of repeat business, reflecting a high level of customer satisfaction.Prior to working with public sector entities as consultants, most of our staff worked in government agencies as executives and managers. This insider's knowledge of government structure, operations, systems, and processes gives MGT the ability to hit the ground running from the very start of a project. Knowing every client and project is different, we have developed comprehensive internal and external resources that enable us to assemble any team required to deliver success. MGT understands lasting and meaningful changes require innovative and bold thinking, and we do not shy away from questioning everything from organizational structures and work processes to the statutes and ordinances that create and guide the work of an agency or institution. MGT is committed to offering useful recommendations that achieve real results and is ever mindful of the practical and political realities an organization may face. Our mission is to provide high quality, value-added consulting solutions that exceed the expectations of our clients. Our purpose goes beyond...to power the work of the public professional in order to advance the lives of the citizens they serve. This purpose reflects a social conscience that gives added meaning to the quality services we provide to our customers. We model this philosophy within our own organization by encouraging community involvement, seeking challenging and creative projects, and supporting a cooperative and rewarding work environment for our employees.
