To better understand the book’s implications for firms, Consulting’s One-on-One sat down with the book’s author, Ed Hess, a former Arthur Andersen strategy consultant and current professor at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business.

»2009 Best Small Firms to Work For: Centric Consulting (No. 5)
Centric takes great pride in client satisfaction. According to their Website, the firm offers “performance based pricing.” Meaning if the firm fails to deliver, the clients do not pay. The firm also takes its consultants’ satisfaction seriously, striving to maintain an “unparalleled work environment” that employ-ees would actively seek to work for.
Centric is a management and technology firm formed in 2001 by former Accenture partners, and has been recognized by Business First magazine as a Best Place to Work, as well as previously appearing on our Best Small Firms list. Centric has strong core values, and seeks to employ people who possess those values. “We look for people that are a cultural fit and represent our core values before we even look at their job skills,” says Larry English, President of Centric Consulting.
The value of job satisfaction is not overlooked at Centric—the firm views the workplace as a community, and encourages an attitude of enjoying both where and with whome you work. According to English, “We want all of our employees to think of our company as a place that they can retire, so we build every action we do around employee and client satisfaction.” That, coupled with annual feedback monitoring from employees and clients show Centric is as involved in improving as a firm as they are with meeting and exceeding clients’ expectations. Centric’s quest to find selfless and humble leaders made Leadership one of the firm’s highest scoring areas, netting 4.7 points out of a possible 5 in the survey.
