FIRST-EVER NASHVILLE-BASED FIRM SELECTED AS ONE OF TOP IN THE NATION
Technology implementation provider awarded for redefining consulting marketplace
NASHVILLE, TN (April 5, 2008) – Cumberland Consulting Group, LLC, a
Nashville-based national firm has been named one of the industry’s leading
small-sized management consulting firms by Consulting Magazine. Each year,
the consulting industry’s flagship publication recognizes seven small consulting
firms across the country that have shaped and redefined the consulting
marketplace. Cumberland, a provider of technology consulting services for the
healthcare industry, was selected for its excellence in client service, firm culture,
talent and innovation. The national trade magazine gave Cumberland a coveted
“Small Jewel” award after considering hundreds of nominations from firms across
the country with fewer than 250 billable consultants.
“Small firms are no longer flying under the radar,” said Joe Kornik, Consulting
Magazine’s editor-in chief. “In fact, with their nimble and leaner operating
models, many of them are the success stories of this economy. Because they are
more equipped to navigate a tricky and uncertain economic landscape, these
firms are growing revenue and adding staff in a time when other firms are
recoiling. This really sets the Small Jewels apart.”
Cumberland is the first consulting firm in Nashville to have received this
distinction. The firm currently has more than 50 billable consultants in 14
different states serving clients that provide healthcare to patients across the
spectrum of ambulatory, acute, and post-acute care. Its consultants support
what are some of the country’s largest healthcare providers when implementing
new technology; helping clients solve some of their most challenging problems,
while staying focused on strategy and change.
“A great firm with high client satisfaction is created by cultivating a culture with
strong employee morale and retention,” said James D. Lewis, CEO and managing
partner. “Our biggest asset is our employees. All the firms say it; we really
believe it and it permeates everything we do.”
In the fall, Cumberland was named a 2008 Best Small Firm to Work For by
Consulting Magazine. Cumberland was ranked No. 5 based on more than 13,000
respondents from 205 firms. The firm earned one of the top spots by measuring
its employees’ work/life balance, compensation, career development, leadership
and firm culture.
