Your team shouldn't have to work around the systems you've invested in.
Still running on spreadsheets and knowledge trapped in one or two people's heads, even after investing in a fix?
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE INSIDE THE BUILDING
- A simple question takes three days to answer because the answer lives in four systems and two people's heads
- The system of record says one thing, but the business runs on the spreadsheet someone quietly works their own magic on every Monday morning
- The whole thing runs because two specific people know how to hold it together. The day one of them is on vacation, you find out how fragile it actually was
- The team already dreads the next transformation project, because the last two didn't change how anyone actually works

WHY IT KEEPS HAPPENING
Technology gets built. Processes get redesigned.
The people doing the work are expected to adapt. Nobody looks at how the three connect.
We’ve seen enough of these projects fail to know why. We’re tired of it too.
FIND. FIX. STICK.
The engagement isn't done until someone on your team owns it.
Find
We figure out what's actually broken and why, across technology, process, and the people doing the work.
Fix
We address all three layers at the same time. Not one at a time, and not by slapping the flashy tech on and calling it done.
Stick
We stay until there's a clean handoff t o someone internal who owns it and knows how to run it.
Three ways in. One way through.
We’ve seen this pattern before. We verify what’s true in your systems before we propose anything.
Digital Technology Transformation
For when the system you already bought didn't fix it. An ERP, a CRM, or something you already bought, that isn't delivering what it was supposed to.
Operational Efficiency & Value Engineering
For when nothing looks broken on paper but everything runs slow.
You work directly with a licensed Professional Engineer. Every engagement, start to finish.
Justin Fischgrund, P.E., is personally engaged on every project, alongside his team of senior experts, your leadership and the people closest to the work. No surprise handoff after the sale.

Testimonials
As a small, family-owned machine shop, we were looking to find ways to increase our efficiencies in order to become more profitable, while remaining competitive in todays manufacturing environment. We brought in Fischgrund Consulting and they have been a pleasure to work with. After a detailed audit of our operation, we now have a realistic structured plan as to how to accomplish our goals. We have already seen real improvements in our shop communication, inventory control and on-time deliveries. Thanks to Justin and Fischgrund Consulting, I believe we now have the blueprint to becoming a more successful and stronger company into the future.

Justin is one of the best around at using and helping others to adopt a lean and iterative approach to building software-based solutions to real-world (e.g., not conference room) problems. He was instrumental at Dick’s in creating and launching the ShoeRunner customer device – a breakthrough in in-store shopping for sneakers. Justin is technically skilled and emotionally intelligent. I recommend him highly.
Paul Gaffney
Justin was instrumental in our project to product mindset change over a multi-year journey. He understands the WHAT, but continually validates the WHY, to achieve greatest possible outcomes. I highly recommend him for any business and/or technology transformation challenge you may face.

In addition to being a highly effective and results driven PM who was able to deliver meaningful products for our Store Operations teammates, Justin played an integral role in elevating the broader teams’ skills for stakeholder management.

From the first day I started working with Justin at Dick’s Sporting Goods it was apparent that he was passionate about not only building a great product but developing an innovative experience. Justin’s diligent research and keen eye towards data insights provided the team with unwavering confidence in any decisions he made. Justin embodies all the qualities of a true leader in the product management space and I am proud of the work that we were able to complete together as a team.
