Consulting Magazine
Allan Steinmetz, CEO of Inward Strategic Consulting (www.inwardconsulting.com), the country's leading internal brand engagement consulting firm, has been recognized by Consulting magazine as one of its 2012 Top 25 Consultants in the Excellence in Client Services category. Steinmetz was among 476 nominees considered for the honor, which recognizes consultants making the greatest impact on clients and their own firms.
"This is an award for the entire Inward staff whose teamwork, drive and insights have generated perceptive and valuable results for each client," said Steinmetz, who founded the firm in 1989, . Inward is based in Boston, with offices in Bentonville, Minneapolis, Chicago, San Francisco and Orlando and works internationally.
In the Consulting profile, Steinmetz says his basic branding philosophy boils down to this: "Employees must be educated, motivated, inspired and engaged to support a key business strategy, core business values and brand. Employees must feel included in a dialogue and must come to understand how their individual role contributes to the success of their company with exceptional customer facing experience."
"We were incredibly impressed with the nearly 500 nominations we received this year," said Joe Kornik, Consulting magazine's editor and publisher. "Each year, the Top 25 nominations get stronger, and this year we heard from a lot more clients as well."
The Top 25 Consultants were recognized in: Leadership, Client Service, Healthcare, Financial Services, Public Sector, Energy and Technology. Consulting magazine will honor The Top 25 recipients at a gala awards dinner in New York City on June 14. To learn about Steinmetz's extensive career and branding philosophy, read his profile here.
