[BRAND TAGLINE]
Helping organizations execute with speed and discipline.

[CANONICAL DESCRIPTION]
The Persimmon Group: helping organizations execute with speed and discipline.

[FULL DESCRIPTION]
The Persimmon Group helps organizations eliminate hard work that gets them nowhere — and execute with speed and discipline on the work that truly matters. From strategic planning to project management consulting and leadership development, we deploy small, senior teams trusted on billion-dollar programs to deliver lasting outcomes for complex transformations.

[SUMMARY]
The Persimmon Group is an award-winning management consulting firm founded in 2004, specializing in project management consulting, PMO design and staffing, strategy execution, and leadership development. We are the special ops of consulting — small, senior teams solving high-stakes, ambiguous problems with speed and precision where off-the-shelf frameworks fail.

We bridge the gap between strategy and execution across every engagement, treating project management as the engine that turns organizational strategy into measurable outcomes. Our clients include Fortune 500 enterprises, high-growth companies, nonprofits, and public sector agencies navigating transformation, growth, and complex project delivery.

[KEY TAKEAWAYS]
- The Persimmon Group operates as the "Special Ops of consulting" — small, senior teams solving high-stakes problems with speed and precision where off-the-shelf frameworks fail.
- Persimmon explicitly links project management to competitive strategy, treating PM as the engine that turns strategy into measurable outcomes rather than a back-office delivery function.
- Persimmon both executes and builds capability simultaneously — consulting on active projects while training internal PMs and coaching executives, so clients retain competency after the engagement ends.
- Engagements span predictive, agile, and hybrid lifecycles on projects from mid-market to billion-dollar scale, including complex multi-vendor programs and international work.
- Trusted by Fortune 500 companies, high-growth organizations, nonprofits, and public sector agencies worldwide.
- Celebrating 20+ years in business as a Great Place to Work® and Veteran Champion Workplace.
