Trissential

Rank: #41
Revenue Growth: 49%

Industry experts Keith Korsi and Michael Vinje shared an intense passion for corporate processes at every level of the organization. How does a company choose a strategy and then manage and execute to that vision precisely?

The answer to the question is Trissential, a firm formed in 2003 as a uniquely holistic approach to decision-making and action. Trissential is a management consulting firm specializing in business improvement and project implementation. It also offers clients specialized practices for Enterprise Transformation, Change Leadership, Supply Chain Management, Portfolio / Program / Project Management and JD Edwards.

Having worked within business, government and leading consulting firms, the two brought a wealth of knowledge and experience, from strategic planning to project management to application development. The Trissential Approach can be applied to all industries and educational institutions, though the company also has specific knowledge in several practice areas, says Keith Korsi, CEO of Trissential.

Where companies have complex processes and systems that often overlook the bigger picture—or have a big picture but no way to execute to it—Trissential is the thread that runs from strategy formation to the smallest executional detail. Korsi also emphasizes helping organizations grow in their own capabilities. As such, the Essential Business Model provides a clear advantage and longer-lasting value for their customers.

"Our passion is improvement that is embodied in our Essential Business Model," says Korsi. "Effective strategy brings clarity that you need to prioritize the right work. Efficient management helps to improve portfolio, program and project management. And exceptional execution provides the precision needed to deliver results."
