Our Story
Consulting Collaborative was founded in 2000 by Richard Voreis with a simple belief: most companies already have the answers to their biggest problems — they just can't see them from the inside.
What started as a one-person strategic consulting practice in Dallas has grown into a firm with offices across the United States, France, and the UAE — serving companies from $2 million to $20 billion in revenue across 36 states and Internationally.
Every engagement begins the same way: listening. Our proprietary Strategic Assessment process — confidential, one-on-one interviews with your employees — reveals the real state of your organization. Not surveys. Not guesswork. Real conversations that produce real insights.
A proven four-step process refined over 25 years and over 2,500 client employee interviews across every industry.
Over 60 confidential questions, asked one-on-one with a representative number of management and staff employees. Richard or one of the Managing Principals conducts the interviews in person — and your people tell them what they've been waiting to say, and probably more than what they'd say to management.
Strengths. Weaknesses. Blind spots. Quick fixes. Action items. Drafted by your engagement principal, reviewed and commented on by Richard — the language your management and staff team members will actually act on to overcome the challenges.
Findings and recommendations on the table with your leadership and staff team members. We consolidate the report into a one-page Strategic Plan, align on what gets done first, and build the accountability discipline behind it.
We stay. We measure. We assist your management and staff in building one-page Priority Plans that are employee-specific for everyone. These Action Plans support the company goals from the Strategic Plan developed by the team in step 3. Accountability increases, productivity goes up, and so do sales and profitability.
Seven Managing Principals and Consulting Advisors who've sat across the table from hundreds of leadership teams. Richard reviews every engagement; his bench runs the work day-to-day.
