We Are Different
We’re not your typical consulting firm. In fact, Thought Ensemble was founded in 2008 as an alternative in the management consulting industry, using a new and unique approach to guide clients through their most complex challenges.
While leading large and small consulting firms in their careers, our founders experienced a handful of projects where magic had happened when teams came together to generate truly excellent ideas and implement impactful solutions. But in the traditional consulting firm design, these experiences were more of the exception than the norm. Inspired by these moments of magic, a new type of consulting firm was born.
Our philosophy is built on the idea that the best insights can be gained through a multi-disciplinary, intensely collaborative approach, with experienced consultants working side-by-side with clients to examine problems from different angles and hierarchical layers. It might sound simple, but the best ideas often are.
Although our roots are in technology strategy, today we primarily focus on business transformation, often around complex technology changes. We understand that while the decision to make organizational changes might come easy, real transformation is exceptionally difficult. With rich expertise and proven experience in helping clients strategically plan, manage, and execute business transformations, we embrace these pivotal inflection points that redefine what, why, and how a company will succeed.
OUR TEAM IS A CUT ABOVE
Intelligence comes standard in our industry; smart ideas are merely table stakes. But Thought Ensemble is different because we provide a higher level of experience and a greater breadth of skill in the hand-selected teams we bring to every client engagement. We take pride in the caliber of our people we bring to every project, and the result is a superior quality of work.

DEI MAKES US STRONGER
At Thought Ensemble, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are strategic imperatives. They are core to who we are today and the vision we want to realize tomorrow. They are woven throughout our culture, our processes, and the very foundation of our organization. We named our company “Thought Ensemble” because we value and actively seek out different perspectives, both internally and externally, because we know that bringing these diverse perspectives together is how we can best generate big ideas and solve even bigger problems.
