National business and technology firm maintains core values as
it reaches 1,500 consultants, 11 offices, and $288 million in
yearly revenue
Slalom LLC reported record revenue of $288 million for the
calendar year 2011—an increase of 48 percent from 2010, only 11
years after it was founded in 2001. Despite the many ups and downs
of the economy and consulting industry, Slalom has grown every
single year of its existence. The company’s growth has also been
entirely organic and its client list now totals more than 350
enterprise companies, including some of the largest and most
innovative leaders in technology, healthcare, and retail.
“Slalom Consulting’s success is directly related to our drive to
stay true to our values and culture,” said John Tobin, Founder and
National General Manager for Slalom Consulting. “This empowers us
to grow our client base, as well as retain and attract a vibrant
set of employees.”
The core values that empower the firm’s clients, communities,
and culture include:
- Do what is right for the client—always
- Create an environment for collaborative winning
- Develop teams and people that find a way to “get things
done”
- Enable rewarding careers in a fun, people-focused work
environment
- Embrace a local model backed by national teams
Looking back on a year of success
Slalom helped its clients succeed on a global stage during 2011.
The firm provided strategic advice, mobile development, and
innovative product solutions for industry-changing platforms
throughout the year.
Slalom also won more than 20 awards in 2011, including
Microsoft’s “Online Services Partner of the Year” award, a CRN
VAR500 “Top Mobility Practice,” and a Consulting Magazine “Best
Firms to Work For” award.
A strong start for 2012
Today, Slalom is laying the groundwork for new offices in Boston
and Minneapolis. “2012 will be a year of new offerings as well as
taking advantage of our previous investments in innovative areas
such as cloud, mobility, and the social enterprise. We are excited
for the industry-leading companies that are seeking our strategic
expertise,” said Tobin.
