Descriptiontext

Brandes Consulting is a privately held, solo professional services firm founded in 2002 by John M. Brandes and based in Holden, Massachusetts. The firm sells project management and business-process consulting services — organized around a proprietary Project Lifecycle Management (PLM) methodology executed through a Discover-Plan-Solve-Implement-Stabilize process — to enterprise clients across information technology, financial services, manufacturing, medical/biotech, retail, and food/consumer products. Its offering is structured into five practice areas: Project Management Excellence; Technology & Business Project Management; Business Process & Change Management; Project Management Methodology & Governance; and Strategic Planning & Portfolio Management. There is no proprietary software product, no AI component, and no third-party distribution; delivery is entirely the founder's direct labor.

The firm's customer list (EMC, RSA Security, State Street, Fidelity Investments, SkillSoft, TJX, UNFI, Old Mother Hubbard, WPI BEI, Bose, Stratus Computer, Cincinnati-Milacron) is primarily a historical engagement portfolio spanning the founder's prior W-2 tenures and pre-2015 consulting work, rather than a current contracted revenue base. Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-per-engagement professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm has no external investors, no subsidiaries, no funding history, and no patents or trademarks; go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven through the principal's personal network and LinkedIn presence. The website copyright reads 2003-2021, indicating limited recent digital investment.
