Why a Process
Consulting Firm?
Ask business executives to define the word ‘process’ and undoubtedly you will receive multiple
definitions and explanations. Merriam-Webster defines ‘process’ as a series of actions that produce
something or that lead to a particular result. That is a very simple and straightforward definition. Yet
many questions remain, including:
 Why do executives struggle to define their own company’s processes?
 Why do organizations continually accept inefficient and substandard processes?
 Why do leaders not hold their teams accountable for process excellence?
These questions, and many others like them, led to the founding of Curtis Process Consulting. We are
singularly dedicated to the understanding and improvement of process in the marketplace.
At Curtis Process Consulting, all we do is process. While coming from various industries and
backgrounds, our team consists of individuals who have dedicated their careers to the pursuit of
process-related topics and capabilities. Equally important is our experience applying process
improving techniques across varying industries, including:
Advertising, Aerospace, Banking, Consumer Products, Energy, Federal Government, Financial Services,
Grocery, Healthcare, Hospitality, Insurance, Manufacturing, Mass Media, Medical Devices, Oil & Gas,
Private Equity, Retail, and Transportation.
Every client is unique. We understand that at Curtis Process Consulting and work tirelessly to establish
a true partnership based on trust, integrity, and a passion for process improvement. Working together
hand-in-hand we will establish a unique and customized approach to the challenges facing your
organization, enabling you to gain competitive advantage through the power of process.
We know process. It is who we are. It is what we do.
