Helping Private, Public, and Non-profit Sectors Define Issues, Measure Progress, and Plan for Success
Who We Are
Breakwater Associates is a management and business consulting services firm that collaborates with clients to put possible into practice by creating sound strategies, optimizing operations, accelerating digital transformation, and empowering businesses and their people to own their future. By embracing diverse perspectives, encouraging new ideas, and challenging the status quo, we create sustainable results for the organizations we serve.
The Breakwater Difference:
As a boutique consulting services firm, Breakwater has a distinct competitive advantage over larger consulting firms. Boutique firms usually have a higher percentage of experienced and senior consultants. Larger firms use senior consultants to land the business. But once it is won, they turn the client over to less experienced consultants and analysts. In a boutique firm, the founder and/or their small team of senior consultants (often having years of experience and expertise in their areas) are the ones directly involved in the project, working with clients every step of the way.
