Kennedy Consulting

What Kennedy Consulting does

Kennedy Consulting LLC is a privately held management consulting firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Torrance, California. The firm operates as a small, principal-led practice (1-10 employees) delivering project-based consulting services across six service lines: Strategy and Planning, Information Management, Operations Management, Project Management, Financial Management, and Change Management. Its Principals are Certified Management Consultants (CMC) with backgrounds at major consulting firms and collectively have delivered more than 1,000 engagements to over 300 clients across state and local government, media and entertainment, energy, healthcare, consumer and industrial products, supply chain, utilities, and construction.

The firm's technical offering emphasizes information systems, ERP implementations, business process automation, and the design of agentic architectures for AI-driven process automation. Services are delivered through a joint-team model with client staff from project inception through implementation, which the firm positions as a differentiator in change management and durable outcomes. Its technology posture is that of an applied practitioner rather than a product company: no proprietary software platform, API, SDK, or patents are disclosed, and AI capabilities are advisory and architectural rather than model development.

Kennedy Consulting generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees on project engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per engagement. The go-to-market motion is direct, senior-led enterprise and government field sales, supported by organic social presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, X), website-hosted thought leadership content, and a 30-year referral track record. The firm is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with Jim Kennedy as President; no external investment, partnerships, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are reported in the disclosed record.
