What Conscient Strategies does

Conscient Strategies, LLC is a women-owned management consulting firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The firm provides culture, leadership, coaching, and team integration services to organizations in the private, federal, and non-profit sectors across the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Its service portfolio spans Strategy, Leadership Alignment and Development, Resilient Teams, High-Performing Culture, Operational Excellence, M&A Advisory, and the proprietary Quality of Team (QofT) and Maturity Assessment frameworks, with sub-services such as Culture Due Diligence, First 100 Day Planning, Business Turnaround, Organization Design, and Employee Engagement.

The firm is structured around a small core team of consultants, executive coaches, strategists, and account executives led by CEO and co-founder Hannah Romick following the July 2024 retirement of co-founder Nancy Kaplan. Its primary differentiators are proprietary human-capital methodologies (Maturity Assessment, Quality of Team, Strengths-Based Change Management) that integrate behavioral science with business strategy, alongside Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification and a SeaPort-NxG IDIQ contract that enable federal-sector engagement. Distribution is direct: enterprise field sales and tailored consulting engagements, supported by content marketing (blog, newsletters, webinars) and a co-delivery partnership with Axle.

Revenue is generated through professional services — quote-based consulting engagements, executive coaching, and advisory partnerships delivered under multi-year contracts. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or institutional investment are disclosed; the company operates as a private LLC with concentrated founder control. The firm has no software product, API, or technology platform, and its delivery model is consultant-led rather than technology-augmented.
