Our History
CICG was founded with a particular focus upon "start-up" ventures and the core challenges faced by small to mid-size bussinesses in earning superior profits and consistently staying ahead of the competition in the domestic, foreign and government procurement markets. It has been stated that the fundamental distinction between strategy and operations is that strategy addresses the question of "What do we do?", while operations is concerned with "How do we do it?".
CICG believes that strategy consulting when at its best, addresses both questions in symmetry. CICG employs a proven system of organizational analysis, which lends itself to close colloboration with the client and provides the client with the most comprehensive, data driven, fact based recommendations uniquely designed to meet the client's needs, goals, vision and challenges in the marketplace.
The CICG global network of associates and advisors in the fields of economics, finance, intellectual property, market research, venture capital, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, risk management, accounting, insurance and GSA government contracting, provides its clients with a formidable team of professionals ready to assist in building an effective strategic plan for your company.
