TNG

What TNG does

TNG Consulting (legal entity The NCHERM GROUP, LLC) is a privately held Pennsylvania-based consulting firm founded in 2000 that provides risk management, civil rights compliance, behavioral intervention, and external investigations services to schools, colleges, and workplaces across the United States. The firm operates three vertical practices — Higher Education (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, technical colleges, universities), K-12 schools and districts, and Organizations/Workplaces — and delivers its work through dedicated consulting engagements, the wraparound FAIR Center complaint resolution hub, interim staffing, expert witness services, and proprietary frameworks such as the NABITA Risk Rubric, SIVRA (Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment), and the FAIR Center methodology.

The firm's core technology is human-expert systems methodology rather than software: TNG develops and maintains its own standards, assessment tools, and training curricula, including 40+ ATIXA courses, NABITA's published BIT standards, and the MPAC and Power Imbalance training programs. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with consultants engaging institutions face-to-face, augmented by the wholly owned ATIXA and NABITA membership associations, which provide recurring individual and institutional membership revenue, certification, an eTraining self-directed platform, and two flagship conferences (NABITA Case Management Summit and ATIXA Summer Symposium).

TNG earns revenue across professional services (quote-based consulting, external investigations, interim management, expert services), recurring subscriptions (ATIXA/NABITA individual and institutional memberships and resource library access), per-seat training and certification, and event/conference registration. The firm wholly owns Oracle Investigations Group (acquired August 2020) alongside the ATIXA and NABITA associations, and is led by Brett A. Sokolow (Chair of the Board) and a partner group with hundreds of years of combined practitioner experience, supported by approximately 30 attorneys and consultants and broader operations, marketing, and association staff.
