After decades of leading national and international organizations at the C-Suite level, David had gained significant exposure to common business challenges and the consulting firms brought in to solve them.
Having experienced consultants from the ‘other side of the desk’, David knew there was a better approach to management consulting than cookie-cutter solutions. Thus, The Poirier Group was born to make a meaningful difference and change the landscape for consulting in the future.
Today, The Poirier Group is one of the top Boutique Consulting firms in North America, evidenced by numerous awards in Consulting Services, Corporate Culture and Corporate Social Responsibility. Since its inception, The Poirier Group has grown to become one of the most trusted business management consulting firms in Toronto by its reputation for successfully implementing sustainable change through its ‘values based’ approach.
The principles upon which The Poirier Group was founded stand true today, offering a trusting and meaningful consulting experience for our clients by bringing a solid balance between the right skills, experience, and approach, with the behaviours that exemplify our values.

Our experience as an operational improvement consulting firm ensures we understand the value of getting to know your business, your people and your processes as a key step to executing on your objectives. We capture this by conducting interviews with key members of your workforce and information gathering at every management and seniority level. Interviews provide well rounded perspectives to decrease chances of bias in the current state conclusions. We also assess the economic influences, industry trends and benchmarks to round out the picture.
Once the current state is known and validated with your team, we assess the gaps between where you are and where you want to be. We apply Lean principles and our vast experience to identify opportunities and conduct root cause analyses to understand performance management failure modes, productivity shortfalls, excessive costs, breakpoints, choke points, bottlenecks and waste. We then classify the root causes into categories and prioritize them by severity. This provides a quantitative lens that is leveraged to formulate recommendations. Solutions are then defined for each root cause and ranked by ROI, and ease of implementation (cost, time to implement, resources required).
We generate solutions that will be sustainable over the long term. Sustainability can only be achieved when your team is aligned and have the right skills and behaviours to support necessary change. Our consulting team readily uncovers performance challenges throughout their engagement, identifying roadblocks within your current team related to competencies, productivity, organizational alignment and employee morale. These performance challenge gaps are also addressed in our solutions to ensure seamless transformation of your operations and your people.
