Robinson Group Consulting

What Robinson Group Consulting does

Robinson Group Consulting, Inc. (RGC) is a Chicago-based, family-owned boutique consulting firm founded in 2004 that delivers interim CIO leadership, technology consulting, and business process improvement to mid-market organizations across four verticals: Healthcare, Non-Profit, Higher Education, and Financial Services. The firm operates with 11–50 employees and is led by Alana W. Robinson (President & CEO), drawing on more than 50 years of combined corporate executive experience through a bench that includes senior advisors with leadership backgrounds at IBM, Credit Suisse, and Cisco. RGC's core offering addresses leadership transitions, fragmented systems, and stalled strategic initiatives using a Detect–Design–Deliver framework refined over two decades, delivered primarily through project-based and retainer consulting engagements acquired via direct sales consultation requests.

The firm's defining technology product is Cadenza.AI, launched in 2024, which packages RGC's 20+ years of Interim CIO methodology into an AI-powered IT gap analysis platform accessible at cadenza.one-rgc.com. The platform accepts uploaded organizational documentation and uses AI-driven text and structured-data analysis to surface top performance gaps, root-cause insights, and prioritized recommendations. RGC monetizes through two revenue streams: (1) traditional professional services consulting on a project/retainer basis with quote-based pricing, and (2) Cadenza.AI software subscriptions structured as an Essential Plan at $199 one-time and a Strategic Plan at $749/month. Distribution is bifurcated — direct, sales-led consulting for enterprise engagements versus a self-serve product-led growth motion for the SaaS platform. The Strategic Plan is noted as currently under development with early-access sign-up, indicating the SaaS business is still building to full functionality.
