Working with Katrina and the BuyQ team provided us access to industry expertise and pro-active benchmarking that would have been difficult to do ourselves. Ultimately, this engagement helped us better understand our own organizational structure and talent needs. We are already considering other ways the BuyQ consulting team can help us as our network of schools continues to grow. If you need a team that can quickly execute on a project, with in-house experience, we would recommend considering BuyQ.
