Combining Innovation with Proven Methodologies

PRO’s use of robust methodologies and dynamic implementation tools allows for rapid delivery and measurable outcomes. While many of PRO’s tools may resemble industry standards, their cultural approach sets them apart. Lawlor highlighted the importance of hiring consultants who prioritize client needs, emphasizing, “It’s not just about the tools; it’s about the behaviors and drive that consultants bring to every project. We hire for those behaviors and reinforce teaching to dynamically solve problems, making us uniquely effective in delivering rapid, high-quality outcomes.”

PRO’s success is underscored by its long-standing client relationships. With numerous repeat engagements, the firm has established itself as a trusted partner for organizations seeking consistent, sustainable improvements.

Overcoming Challenges with Client-Centric Solutions

Despite the inherent challenges in change management consulting, PRO has built a reputation for credibility and client satisfaction. Lawlor shared that the firm’s template-driven, holistic approach, backed by an extensive repository of industry knowledge, often impresses clients who initially believe they can manage change independently. By emphasizing practical solutions and ongoing collaboration, PRO has earned awards and high praise, including multiple projects with leading firms like Toyota and Chubb.

Sustainability and Future Growth

Looking ahead, PRO is focused on continued expansion, particularly across Europe and beyond. Lawlor emphasized PRO’s commitment to sustainability, not only in terms of environmental impact but also in maintaining the quality and longevity of changes implemented at client sites. This dedication to sustainable operations has driven PRO’s recent record growth, establishing a strong, broader international presence and enabling the firm to originate more work outside the U.S.
