What ROC Consulting Group does

ROC Consulting Group is a privately held Canadian boutique management and IT consulting firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The firm delivers three integrated service lines — Project Management, Solution Delivery, and Management Consulting — augmented by adjacent practices in strategic planning, organizational development, and executive mentorship. Its client base is concentrated in the Government of New Brunswick (notably the Department of Health and Department of Social Development) and Atlantic Canada public-sector programs, with a secondary set of enterprise logos (CGI, HP, UNB, Remsoft, Capita) on its website.

The firm operates a senior-partner-led delivery model: a publicly listed roster of 8 named consultants averages 20+ years of IT/consulting experience, with CEO Lorna Ganong (32+ years, ex-CGI Director, CMC-designated) and COO Colleen Benson (30+ years, ex-Fujitsu Consulting executive) personally engaged on client work. Technology execution spans the full Microsoft development stack (.NET, SharePoint, SQL Server), Oracle ERP, Java/C/C++, and mainstream QA/test-automation tooling (Selenium, JMeter, Rally, Jira, HPALM, Postman, Jenkins), with delivery grounded in Waterfall, Iterative, and Agile/SCRUM methodologies rather than proprietary IP.

Revenue mechanics are professional services: custom, quote-based, multi-year engagements of multi-million dollar scale (per leadership commentary), sold through direct partner relationships and referral networks rather than demand-generation marketing. Geographic footprint is anchored in New Brunswick with demonstrated delivery into Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. There is no disclosed funding, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no public revenue figures — consistent with a stable, partner-owned regional consultancy rather than a venture-backed or PE-owned platform.

Core offering

ROC Consulting Group provides program and project management services, management consulting, and solutions development to industry and government clients. Senior consultants personally lead clients' most strategic projects, applying industry-proven project management and delivery methodologies (Waterfall, Iterative, Agile/SCRUM) across engagements of any size or complexity. The firm also offers related practices in strategic planning, organizational development, and executive mentorship.

Product overview

ROC Consulting Group is a single-firm professional services offering (established in 2007) rather than a product platform with modules. Its three core service lines — Project Management, Solution Delivery, and Management Consulting — are delivered by a network of senior consultants and supported by related practices in strategic planning, organizational development, and executive mentorship. Together these services form an integrated consulting engagement model where project managers lead strategic initiatives, solution delivery consultants apply proven methodologies, and management consultants provide trusted advisory support to industry and government clients.

Broad incumbents

• CGI Group: One of Canada's largest IT and business consulting firms with deep Government of New Brunswick relationships. Both Lorna Ganong and other ROC partners held executive positions at CGI prior to founding ROC; CGI is also listed as an ROC client. Direct overlap in public-sector IT modernization, project management, and ERP delivery, though CGI operates at vastly greater scale across Canada and globally.
• Accenture (Canada): Global management and technology consulting firm with significant Canadian public-sector practice. Competes with ROC for larger NB and federal health/social services transformation mandates, and offers the full management consulting + system integration delivery that ROC's clients eventually scale into.
• IBM Consulting (Canada): Global consulting arm with strong Canadian public-sector healthcare and government practice. Competes for the same Oracle ERP, application modernization, and PMO mandates ROC supports, often as prime contractor with ROC-style boutiques sub-contracted.
• Capita (Canada operations): Global professional services and outsourcing firm with Canadian public-sector presence, listed as an ROC client. Competes in the same management consulting, project management, and IT-enabled service delivery space for government and healthcare clients, though at much larger scale.
• Deloitte Canada (Public Sector): Big Four professional services firm with substantial Canadian public-sector healthcare, social services, and government consulting practice. Competes for the same NB Department of Health, housing, and social services transformation engagements as ROC, typically on larger bundled mandates.

Regional players

• Mariner Partners: Atlantic Canada-based technology and management consulting firm headquartered in Saint John, NB. Comparable in scale and regional focus, serving public-sector and enterprise clients with IT strategy, project management, and digital transformation services directly competitive with ROC's New Brunswick government work.
• T4G Limited: Atlantic Canadian digital and technology consulting firm with strong Atlantic Canada public-sector footprint, including NB government mandates. Comparable boutique-scale management and technology consulting with overlap in SDLC delivery, project management, and enterprise application work.
• Innovatia: Atlantic Canada-headquartered knowledge services and IT consulting firm with strong NB and provincial government relationships. Comparable boutique management consulting and IT services delivery model targeting the same public-sector client base as ROC.
• Doyletech Corporation: Ottawa-based Canadian government and public-sector management consulting firm, comparable in scale and service offering. Competes for federal and provincial program management, organizational development, and IT consulting mandates that overlap with ROC's public-sector practice.

Direct peers

• MNP LLP: Large Canadian-owned professional services firm with significant Atlantic Canada presence, including Fredericton. Competes directly with ROC for NB and Atlantic Canada public-sector management consulting, project management, and IT advisory engagements, with broader service breadth but a comparable regional boutique character.
