Heifetz Halle Consulting Group

What Heifetz Halle Consulting Group does

Heifetz Halle Consulting Group (HHCG) is a privately held Oregon LLC operating as a boutique management consulting firm founded in 2006 by Michael Heifetz alongside Managing Directors Stan Halle and Laurel Heifetz. The firm delivers organizational change management services exclusively through its three principals, with no employees, targeting large enterprises (Boeing, United Defense, General Dynamics, Weyerhaeuser, Schneider National, FMC, Medtronic) and U.S. federal agencies (DCMA, U.S. Army TACOM, Navy) undergoing complex transformation. Its core methodology is the proprietary Change Cycle®, a seven-stage change management process supplemented by the Change Formula diagnostic, Cultural Compatibility Assessment, Balanced System Model, Paradigm Shift Workshops, and Mind Mapping Analysis — IP that has been field-tested for 25+ years.

HHCG monetizes through professional services billed at $290.47/hour and $2,323.76/day for the single "Principal Consultant" labor category, plus structured training courses (e.g., Leadership Development series at $96K-$105K, Executive Coaching at $40K-$73K) delivered primarily through GSA MOBIS Schedule Contract #GS-10F-0293L. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-based, leveraging a complimentary pre-contract consulting period, the published book "Leading Change, Overcoming Chaos," online self-assessment quizzes, and prior engagements with Fortune 100 firms and DoD components. A separately branded Threshold Institute extends the methodology into personal transformation work. The firm holds no external funding, has not scaled headcount beyond its three owners, and shows no signs of technology-enabled or productized delivery.
