As a partner and senior consultant at GMT, Bob MacDonald helps clients’ senior managers distill information from a variety of internal and external sources into a candid self-assessment aimed at determining the key opportunities and issues confronting their companies.

Based on that assessment, Bob helps clients to structure and support effective internal teams to address these opportunities and drive toward fact-based strategy. These teams conduct business analyses, then use their insights to develop and implement a clear set of initiatives aimed at achieving specific objectives.

Bob also works with senior managers to integrate the efforts of multiple teams into an effective overall company direction and ongoing management process.
