Our Consultants
Strategic Business Solutions, Inc. is committed to finding top notch consultants for our clients. This means much more than knowledge, skills and experience. It takes a unique person who can fit into our client’s business culture and team.
Our formula for selecting consultants leverages the work of Patrick Lencioni in his book, The Ideal Team Player. We seek highly qualified consultants who understand business strategy and culture and exemplify “hungry”, “humble” and “smart”.
Our personal connection with each consultant is part of our formula for success. We embrace and value diversity and inclusion and work with clients and consultants who demonstrate similar values. We seek consultants early in their career as interns, experienced professionals generally as full-time employees, and after retirement, often as part-time employees who want to stay engaged.
Humble
Great team members don’t have big egos or concerns about their own status. They honor the team and teamwork.
Hungry
Individuals who are always looking for more to do, more to learn, and more ways to contribute.
Smart
Team members who demonstrate good common sense about people, good listening skills, and emotional intelligence.
Here's what our employees had to say...
“Strategic Business Solutions has been an excellent employer for me. I work with great businesses on challenging large-scale projects and programs which leverage my interests and talents. I appreciate being able to work flexible hours and remotely (even pre-Covid.) Thanks to the CEO and the others on the SBS team, I have satisfying work within a structure that fits my life.”
“I have been working with SBS for over three years and each assignment has been interesting, challenging, and unique. The SBS team is great to work with and knows exactly how to find me work that allows me to utilize my business analysis and project management skills. They also appreciate that I have other commitments and have found me work assignments that allow me to maintain them. I am proud to be associated with such a great employer!”
“Business analysis is both my passion and my occupation. I enjoy the challenge of working with people and data to break down the deliverables into understandable steps from planning all the way to implementation. Working on diverse projects allows me to leverage my analytical, technical writing and training skills while reenergizing my enthusiasm for the work. Strategic Business Solutions, Inc. and their clients have provided me with the career challenges I seek.”
“SBS has solid connections with several Portland area companies, providing them with experienced project professionals. Working with them has allowed me to leverage my 25 plus years of IT project management experience in various industries including energy and financial to manage multimillion-dollar projects. I am always motivated to serve the client and bring projects in on time and within budget. It is great to be part of the SBS team and associated with their quality clients and numerous challenging opportunities.”
“As a procurement subject matter expert, I was ready to retire from full-time work but wanted to continue to stay engaged and add value in a part-time gig. SBS has allowed me the opportunity to consult and utilize my expertise with the flexibility I desired. SBS embodies all the qualities of an employer that I was seeking.”
“As a business student heading into my last year of college, I was searching for something that could put me a step ahead of the pack. I was delighted to find the perfect fit with an internship at SBS. I was immediately given several projects that allowed me to demonstrate my professionalism and utilize my education. With the experience I gained through SBS, I was offered my first post-graduate job within weeks of graduating. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity SBS provided, as they were instrumental in positioning me for employment after college. I will definitely be staying connected with this remarkable team.”
