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

Neal: Our growth has been driven
by our commitment to staying on
the cutting edge of technology and
our ability to attract and retain top
tech talent.

Consulting: How is this year shaping up for your firm? Neal: 2017 is finishing as strong as last year and we continue to reinvent ourselves as the technology landscape changes. We have become leaders in organizational digitization and our specialty in cloud enablement has taken us into new industries and introduced us to many new amazing clients.

Consulting: How would you describe your firm’s outlook for 2018? Where do you see the most opportunities?

Neal: We should continue to grow at an even faster pace in 2018. Our biggest opportunity is in redefining our solutions to incorporate the technology-en-abling products that we are developing. We are experimenting with new tech combinations that are completely unproven, and unlocking these doors will provide an amazing opportunity for Blueprint and our clients.

Consulting: What would you say are your firm’s biggest challenges in 2018?

Neal: Blueprint’s biggest chal-
lenge for 2018 is reach. How do
we better reach our clients to en-
sure we are viewed as their trusted
partner of choice? How do we bet-
ter reach our potential next set of
talented employees that are going
to make an impact as thought lead-
ers? And how do we better reach
our existing employees to continue
to drive value back into their ex-
periences? These are questions we
have to answer and solve next year.
