Point B
Ask Chuck Ritter, President of Consulting at Point B, to look
into a crystal ball, he can barely contain his enthusiasm. “I have
to be honest. I’m quite excited as I look to the remainder of
2016 and beyond,” he says.
And why wouldn’t he be? A second-place finish on Consulting’s
Best Firms to Work For ranking
goes a long way. Point B finished
No. 2 in 2014. The firm did not
participate in 2015 as it opts to sit
it out every other year. Oh, and by
the way, Point B is having the best
year of growth in the firm’s history, Ritter says. So good, in fact,
the firm is expanding into three
brand new U.S. markets—Boston,
Minneapolis and Austin, Texas.
“Point B does amazing things for
its clients. Our focus is on outcomes
and bringing more than methods to
our clients,” Ritter says. “We deliver
the best Point B has to offer across
our consulting, capital, expertise and
property development businesses—
integrating those offerings to provide
unique impact and value.”
Point B is delivering strategic
outcomes for clients and offering
a broader base of development
opportunities for its people, bol-
stering both their careers and their
lives, Ritter says. “It’s a time full
of possibility, and our biggest op-
portunities come from helping our
clients think more strategically
about their challenges while they
realize the vision and strategies
they set out to achieve. We’re in
an unprecedented moment of rev-
olutionary change. Today’s busi-
ness landscape is more complex
and fast-changing than ever.”
But Point B is more than up for
the challenge. “Our people con-
tinue to be excited about engaging
in strategic and complex outcomes
and about the development oppor-
tunities that come with taking on
challenging work,” he says. “Our
teams are learning, growing and
creating the best solutions for our
clients. We have a great deal of
pride in our delivery quality and
what we achieve alongside our cli-
ents and each other.”
On the survey, Point B excelled in
the areas of Client Engagement and
Firm Leadership.
“Point B’s clients are happy be-
cause we deliver outcomes beyond
expectations,” Ritter says. “They
appreciate our quality and the
value our people bring every day;
our teams strive to put others first,
which is reflected in both client and
associate satisfaction.”
Meanwhile, as a 100 percent
employee-owned organization,
leaders play a unique role within
the firm, Ritter says. “They en-
sure all of our owners have a clear
understanding of why we exist,
where we are headed, and how
we intend to get there,” he says.
“When you have that clarity, you
don’t need to worry about the
small stuff. You can focus on liv-
ing your life and delivering amaz-
ing outcomes for Point B clients.”
