Thompson Consulting Group

What Thompson Consulting Group does

Thompson Consulting Group (TCG) is a privately held management consulting firm headquartered in Boise, Idaho, founded by Grant Thompson around 1998. The firm delivers organizational development services organized around three pillars — assess, consult, and train — to organizations primarily across the Mountain West and Pacific Northwest, with a six-person consulting bench. Its service portfolio spans leadership and personality assessments (proprietary Assessment of Team Health tool plus third-party instruments including MBTI, DiSC, and CliftonStrengths), HR outsourcing, executive coaching, strategic planning, outplacement, project management, process improvement, and structured training programs such as the Emerging Leaders Training Series and Essentials of Leadership. The firm also monetizes two books authored by Grant Thompson — Leadership Isn't Rocket Science (2013) and Diagnosing Your Team — through direct and Amazon sales, and supports a speaking engagement business built on the book's content.

TCG operates a pure professional services model. Most engagements are quote-based and tailored to client needs, while standardized public training programs are priced at $475 per person ($375 for groups of 3+). Go-to-market is direct sales via website contact forms, phone, email, and referral; no channel partners or resellers are used. Marketing relies on a content-driven approach: a regular blog, LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence, and a 2025-launched weekly video series ("The Leadership Minute") on Instagram and YouTube. The customer base spans healthcare, government, agriculture, construction, logistics, and cannabis — with logos including Saint Alphonsus, Ada County, Blaine County, Standlee Premium Western Forage, Helix Electric, and The Flower Shop — though no revenue concentration is disclosed. The firm expanded to Bozeman, Montana in June 2025 with the hire of consultant Mandy Pomeroy, marking its first geographic move beyond its Idaho base. No external funding has been raised, and the company remains founder-owned and founder-controlled.
