The goal of
recovery is not just
about surviving, but thriving.

CNTRD is atypical consulting. We are lean by-design. Network based. Rigor obsessed.

Executives bring us their stickiest problems and most aspirational visions across strategy, marketing, sales, brand and operations. They expect speedy diagnosis, rapid ideation and practical solutions. So we live by the scientific methodology, find comfort in adaptation and privilege wild imagination.

Through our tested consortium model, executives leave with solutions, relationships and models to achieve an edge with their strategy, products and behavior.
