What Consulting Collaborative does

Consulting Collaborative is a Dallas-headquartered management consulting firm founded in 2000 by Richard Voreis, serving mid-market companies with revenues from $2 million to $20 billion across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. The firm's core methodology is a proprietary Strategic Assessment comprising over 60 confidential one-on-one interview questions administered in person to management and staff employees, producing a prioritized findings report that surfaces organizational blind spots not visible through surveys or town halls. Building on the assessment, the firm installs its trademarked Management by Accountability (MbA) framework — a four-mechanism accountability system (maximum five annual goals, one-page priority plans, quarterly reviews, compensation math tied to plan performance) that has reportedly produced a profitability increase in every engagement to date.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and founder-anchored: Richard Voreis personally reviews every engagement, and Managing Principals conduct on-site interviews. Coverage extends through seven offices across three continents (Dallas HQ, Fort Worth, Boston, Charlottesville, Charleston, Toulouse, Dubai). Revenue is generated through fixed-fee professional services engagements across three core tracks — Strategic Assessment, Management by Accountability, and Digital Presence & AI Integration — supplemented by packaged programs (Leadership Development Program, AI Advantage Program) and three free self-evaluation tools that serve as lead-generation entry points. The firm has no external funding, is founder-owned, and operates with eight named senior practitioners serving clients including Sherwin-Williams, ASSA ABLOY, YKK AP, TBS, Valpak, FCA International, EFCO, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
