Consulting Group Named One of Seven ''Small Jewel'' Firms in Consulting Magazine's 2008 Ranking

Censeo Selected for Its Innovative Consulting Model

Washington, D.C., March 25, 2008 - Censeo Consulting Group, a leader in supply chain management and operations, announced today it has been named one of Consulting magazine’s Seven Small Jewels for 2008. Censeo is profiled in Consulting’s March/April issue.

“Small Jewel” is a designation Consulting bestows annually upon seven small consulting firms (of 200 employees or less) that have distinguished themselves in the consulting marketplace through innovative approaches to recruiting, client service and thought leadership. “This year’s Seven Small Jewels are helping to redefine the consulting landscape,” wrote Joseph Kornik, editor-in-chief of Consulting. “No longer are smaller firms flying under the radar. Rather,  they are

playing in the big leagues and challenging the legacy firms like never before.”

“We are honored to be named one of Consulting magazine’s Seven Small Jewels for 2008,” said Censeo’s President and CEO Raj Sharma. “We’re especially glad for the opportunity to share with the broader consulting community an alternative business model that redefines customer value, work/life balance and the economics of our business. By focusing on the key value drivers of expertise, people and efficiency, Censeo has shown that we can deliver exceptional value to customers, recruit and retain top-quality consultants, and grow successfully and profitably as a firm.”

Censeo’s consulting business model emphasizes three core components as the key drivers for creating exceptional value

	Focused Expertise – Censeo focuses on the business areas to which it brings unparalleled expertise and thought leadership – specifically, supply chain management and operations. This focus, combined with sharply-honed problem-solving skills, enables Censeo to execute more efficiently and with greater success than other “generalist” firms.
	People-Focused Strategy – Censeo values each employee’s professional development goals and personal needs, and it supports a consulting model that includes little or no travel, limited work hours, and a flexible “work where you live” policy. The result is a happier, healthier staff with more focus, energy and passion for their work. In turn, this leads to happier clients.
	Operational Efficiency – By taking unnecessary overhead out of its cost structure and focusing on efficient use of resources, Censeo delivers substantial returns for every consulting dollar.
