Exodus Consulting Group

What Exodus Consulting Group does

Exodus Consulting Group is a Michigan-based, founder-led management consulting firm that delivers diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) advisory, leadership development, and culture-transformation services to small and mid-sized organizations, non-profits, and faith-based entities. Its core offerings are human-delivered: Inclusion Strategy development, Executive Inclusive Coaching, a Fractional Chief Inclusion Officer engagement model, and Leadership Development programs framed around an entrepreneurial, people-centric leadership style. The firm packages its methodology as The Inclusion Architecture Blueprint, a seven-pillar framework codified into a published book sold via Amazon and direct mail order.

The business is built without proprietary technology. Service delivery rests on practitioner expertise, the firm's proprietary inclusion framework, and professional assessments facilitated by certified practitioners. There are no software products, no disclosed data platform, and no AI/ML capability evident in the inputs. Go-to-market combines consultative direct sales with three complementary channels: thought-leadership content (blog posts authored by founder Sandy Harvey), a sponsored annual flagship event (the ERG Summit, co-hosted with The Unity Collaborative), and book-driven authority building.

Commercially, the firm monetizes through professional services engagements (pricing not publicly disclosed), book unit sales at roughly $25 including shipping, and event revenue via $129 attendee registration plus multi-tier corporate sponsorships ranging from $300 to $6,000. The firm operates as Exodus Consulting Group, LLC, a privately held, bootstrapped entity owned by founder Sandy Harvey, with a 4-person core team and a single headquarters location in Clinton Township / Troy, Michigan. Geographic reach is anchored domestically with modest international book distribution to Canada, the UK, Australia, and Germany.
