The Azimuth Story

The Azimuth Group, Inc. (AGI) is a boutique consulting firm providing highly individualized specialty professional services to leading organizations in the public and not-for-profit arenas.  Founded by a team of former “Big Five” management consultants with the vision of  delivering of big firm results on an agile and responsive platform, AGI delivers exceptional value by eliminating big firm overhead and leveraging an extensive network of other like-minded big firm alumni now in private practice. AGI can meet the most demanding needs of governmental and non profit clients with creativity and pinpoint precision, all at a reasonable cost.

Our name and our logo are symbolic of what we do as a company. An "azimuth" can be understood as a compass bearing, indicating ones direction of travel towards a desired destination. The term is rooted in the Arabic word meaning "the way."  The compass rose superimposed on a celestial orb in the logo points to a new direction and signifies our role in helping clients succeed in charting new courses for strategic and operational success.

Our founding member, David W. Eisenlohr, has over 25 years experience in governmental operations and management consulting. A former Principal with Arthur Andersen Business Consulting and a Senior Vice President with MAXIMUS, Inc., David has extensive experience in serving the needs of governmental entities across a wide range of strategic planning, process improvement, technology support and operational improvement engagements. He is a recognized expert in local government strategy and governance, municipal operations, human capital services and business process improvement.

In addition to our competitive fee structure, we are also differentiated from the remaining "Big Few" consulting organizations by the degree of project level involvement of our firm's leaders. Unlike the common practice in many of the very large consulting firms, partners are "hands-on" in the direct delivery of client service. They personally provide personal leadership and face-to-face attention to both our clients and our project teams. By building “best of breed” teams of Azimuth partners, associates, and allies we are able to assign very senior teams to each project we accept, allowing us to expertly address our clients’ most pressing challenges
