Client Spotlight
Whether we are assisting a one person start up firm on their strategic plan or helping a Top 50 firm enter a new geography, IAG has a varied and diverse existing client base. Here are some of our existing client’s thoughts on our services and positive impacts on their firms.
“Mark is the consummate professional. He takes the time to listen and really understand what’s needed in each situation. Then he has the experience and commitment to execute the plan flawlessly. Whether it’s growing or leading a team, a single office, a multi-state region or national business, Mark has been there done that – successfully.”
“Given Mark’s experience and relationships in the industry, he brought us appropriate buyers that saw our value.”
“IAG took the mystery out of the valuation process and helped us feel comfortable with the various components that comprised TWG’s market value.”
“IAG’s team coordinated with our committee to identify key deliverables for launching PGA’s Leadership in Training Program. They assisted us with development of an annual program calendar, a candidate selection process with associated tools, and helped establish requirements and logistics for the program sessions. We appreciate the focus IAG had on the development, implementation, and delivery of the program well within the given schedule.”
"IAG's guidance, from our early stages until today, has allowed us to allocate resources effectively by prioritizing the essential needs of Au+ Engineering."
“Mark brought his practical approach, gained from his successful career in engineering consulting, to bring our big picture strategy down to a plan of attack that we could visualize. Thanks to the StART system and Mark’s guidance, our 5-year Strategic Plan will NOT collect dust!”
“Au+ has developed a profound reliance on Mark and IAG, serving as a reliable compass for making critical decisions, ensuring each step is not only well-informed but also strategically aligned. Their wealth of expertise has proven to be an indispensable asset on our path to achieving success.”
“When we decided to sell, IAG did a great job explaining the factors that influenced our value.”
“Mark and his IAG Team served as an extension of PGA staff in the development of our Leadership in Training (LIT) Program. They provided guidance, participated in our internal committee meetings and authored content while staying in close contact with the LIT Committee. IAG led in the implementation and delivery of our first LIT Program Training, then assisted in a seamless transition of the program content to PGA Staff.”
“IAG took the complex auction process and made it simple for our team. They met with us weekly and mapped out the whole process.”
“I am proud to have chaired the development committee and to have worked so closely with the IAG Team. They helped us develop a great program that PGA Staff now deliver to selected participants.”
"IAG helped facilitate discussions regarding a balance of our aspirations with what is achievable. Having Mark in these discussions provided a third perspective that was independent and drove us toward a plan of action.”
“Mark did a great job in listening to our staff during strategic sessions and then consolidating our discussion into a solid draft strategic plan for our review. He captured the essence of our firm’s core values and strategies which allowed us to quickly finalize our plan and get started with implementation.”
“IAG helped us develop our approach to adding a new service line to Foresight that balanced our investment in the future with our current operational realities.”
“The services that Mark and his team provided to HSC during this acquisition were top-notch and led to a successful outcome that will provide value to both parties now and into the future!”
"It all started with the invaluable strategic planning facilitated by IAG that opened our eyes to the possibilities afforded by an external sale - to the perfect buyer, of course! PESC is fortunate to have received insightful guidance from Mark and his team that led us to this point!"
