LK Consulting

What LK Consulting does

LK Coaching and Consulting, also operating as LK Consulting and LKCC, is a privately held, founder-owned boutique change management consulting firm established in 2012 by Lisa Klarner and headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, with a secondary listed location in Mandeville, Louisiana. The firm delivers professional services across seven practice areas: Change Management Consulting, Corporate Communications, Tech Enablement, Organizational Effectiveness, Customer Success Management, Change Management Educational Events, and Motivational Speaking Events. Its core methodology is the Prosci ADKAR framework (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement), which the firm adapts with a proprietary people-first "Human-Tech Translator" approach that prioritizes employee adoption in technology and organizational change initiatives.

The firm serves primarily enterprise organizations undergoing large-scale transformation — including technology implementations, digital transformations, mergers, restructuring, and cultural renewal — alongside selected small and mid-sized clients across the IT, consumer products, management consulting, restaurant/hospitality, and insurance/legal sectors. Notable customers include a Global Fortune 500 Consumer Products Company, a Global Management Consulting Firm (described as a long-term partner), Tandem Coffee and Cocktails, and executive coaching client Crystal Uebelher. LKCC also maintains a partnership ecosystem with Intramark (Vibe^ sentiment surveys), Vizionara (program management), J. Geiger Consulting (ERP and IT services), and Victory Tech Services (Microsoft SharePoint/Power Platform).

Revenue mechanics are professional services on a quote-based engagement model, with a complimentary 30-minute discovery consultation via Calendly as the lead-qualification entry point. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no external investors, no parent entity, and reports a headcount of 1–10 employees, with founder Lisa Klarner — a Prosci Certified Change Management Professional with 30+ years of corporate experience including 15+ years at Kimberly-Clark Corporation — as the primary practitioner and public-facing representative.
