What RTM Consulting does

RTM Consulting is a Cincinnati-based management and operational advisory firm founded in 2009 (with one source referencing 2007) that helps professional services and project-based organizations optimize their operations. Since 2018, it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Belcan, a diversified industrial group. The company serves over 100 clients globally with a portfolio spanning advisory consulting, training programs, managed services, and a specialized talent network. Its primary customer segment is professional services organizations within technology companies (Bullhorn, Philips, Bentley Systems are named), with secondary reach into support services, field services, managed services, education services, and enterprise/IT shared services.

The firm's core intellectual property centers on its trademarked Just-in-Time Resourcing® methodology for human capital management, supplemented by proprietary frameworks including PSO-in-a-Box (for professional services capability development) and PMO QuickStart (for accelerated PMO establishment). RTM also operates the Resource Management Institute (RMI), established in 2016, which administers the RMCP® professional certification program — described as a first-of-its-kind credential for resource managers. The company monetizes through four primary streams: professional services advisory engagements (quote-based), role-based training courses delivered via PS University ($299-$399 per seat for 90/60-day on-demand access, with enterprise subscriptions), the RMCP certification program through RMI, and Resource Management as a Service (RMaaS) — a managed services BPO offering. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (white papers, case studies, webinars) and direct engagement.

Quantified client outcomes disclosed include over 80% improvement in professional services profitability, ~50% improvement in resource utilization (reaching 70%+), 30% improvement in customer satisfaction, and 67% reduction in project initiation time (Bullhorn engagement). Leadership comprises CEO/President Randy Mysliviec, COO Marc Lacroix, and practice leads for technology and training. The company has not pursued venture capital funding and maintains a small but specialized headcount of 11-50 employees.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Sability: Sability is a niche professional services automation (PSA) and resource management consultancy that helps services organizations select, implement, and optimize PSA tools. It competes head-to-head with RTM Consulting on PSA selection, PSO optimization, and resource management advisory.
• TBM Consulting Group: TBM Consulting Group is a specialty operations and supply chain consultancy serving industrial and services clients. It is directly comparable to RTM in providing operations/process improvement advisory and has expanded into services-led transformation work.
• MindStream Consulting (now Plative): MindStream / Plative is a PSA implementation and professional services operations consultancy that helps services organizations deploy and optimize PSA platforms. Directly comparable to RTM's PSO optimization, PSA selection, and resource management deployment offerings.

Emerging players

• Kantata: Kantata (formerly Mavenlink) is a PSA platform purpose-built for professional services organizations, with embedded resource management, project management, and utilization analytics. It overlaps with RTM's RMaaS and PSO advisory at the tooling layer and increasingly bundles best-practice content that competes with RTM's methodology.

Broad incumbents

• Planview: Planview is a broad enterprise PSA/PPM platform with resource management and project portfolio capabilities serving large services organizations. It competes with RTM at the tooling layer and is frequently referenced in RTM's PSA Selection engagements.
• Slalom Consulting: Slalom is a mid-to-large consulting firm with significant operations transformation and technology delivery practices, including work for professional services organizations. Comparable to RTM at the advisory layer but with far greater delivery scale and cross-industry reach.
• Deloitte (Consulting): Deloitte's consulting practice includes Operations Transformation and Human Capital services that overlap with RTM's PSO optimization and resource management offerings. It competes for large enterprise mandates and has the scale to bundle PSO work into broader transformation deals.
• Accenture: Accenture operates large-scale Professional Services and Operations practices and frequently advises on PSO build/optimize, workforce management, and XaaS transitions — directly overlapping with RTM's core offerings but at a global, multi-thousand-consultant scale.
• ServiceNow: ServiceNow's Professional Services / SPM modules embed resource management, project planning, and PSA workflows. As a platform incumbent, ServiceNow increasingly competes with RTM by providing native RM/PSO functionality that reduces the need for a specialist advisory firm.

Others

• TSIA (Technology & Services Industry Association): TSIA is the leading industry research and member association for technology and services organizations, and RTM's leaders regularly present at TSIA webinars. It is a peer community and thought-leadership channel rather than a direct competitor, but the two share the same buyer base and shape category narratives.
