The 2018 Fastest Growing Firms: Divurgent

Consulting: What were the main factors that contributed to your firm's exceptional growth?

Konschak: We continue to see year over year growth because we work hard to maintain a consistently strong, upward growth instead of just aggressively chasing after numbers. Fundamentally, we focus on the quality of our team and services we deliver with a keen focus on our internal corporate culture—understanding that our team is the lynchpin to our success, we do everything we can to put them first, knowing they'll put our clients first. 

Consulting: How is this year shaping up for your firm?

Konschak: 2018 is shaping up to be an extremely successful year—we've been able to bring on some great new talent to our team, including some strategic additions to our leadership team. We've seen success in diversifying our solution portfolio and have an excellent group of consultants that have been doing impressive, cutting-edge work at our client sites. I'm really looking forward to finishing the year on a strong note, and am even more excited to see what 2019 brings. 

Consulting: How would you describe your firm's outlook for 2019? Where do you see the most opportunities?

Konschak: In preparation for a successful 2019, we have taken some huge steps to show our clients that we are both capable of and committed to providing the right solutions to their top-of-mind challenges. By remaining privately owned, we are becoming a rarity in the industry—we have the client-focused, responsive characteristics of a boutique consulting firm paired with the benefits of a company designed to provide complex, scalable solutions to both small and large healthcare organizations. 

Consulting: What would you say are your firm's biggest challenges in 2019?

Konschak: Funny enough, what's made us most successful is also one of our biggest challenges: a highly-changing industry. From our perspective, the predictability of our industry and future work is nonexistent; however, our flexibility and innovation allow us to respond quickly and efficiently to those changes, making us more nimble than larger, "Big 4" consulting firms. 

Consulting: What does being named one of Consulting's Fastest Growing Firms mean to your firm, your employees and your clients?

Konschak: For our firm, it's an incredible honor to be named as a Fastest Growing Firm. It's a great reward to know that our approach to business and our passion for our work translates into year over year growth, but it's more rewarding to share that success with our team, who is at the core of our success. For our clients, this recognition further solidifies our clients' confidence in the Divurgent team, that we're able to financially support our project and engagement endeavors, and that we're also able to have our growing team.
