Your Challenges
Over the past year, we've met with many consultants across Canada who work independently or in small firms. You've told us you really enjoy the independence, flexibility and other benefits that working independently provides. But, you've also highlighted some of the challenges you face.
It's time consuming to track opportunities and make sure you're on the right lists.
Identifying Opportunities
RFPs are increasingly complex, proposals take a long time to assemble.
Proposal Writing
Large firms are better able to demonstrate they have the resources and track record needed to win the big, more complex projects.
Competing for Big Projects
Clients want teams of consultants with specialized skills, not just generalists. It can be hard to find the team members you need to meet the requirements.
Building Teams
New and useful tools & technologies are being introduced. But they can be very costly and difficult to implement.
Accessing Tools and Technology
You spend more time than you'd like on basic research and project administration and not enough on areas where you really add value.

Why Join?
Our associates are experienced consultants, evaluators, senior managers, and others with specialized skills and expertise relevant to clients. By joining the GGI Platform, you will continue to enjoy the benefits and lifestyle that comes with working independently while gaining access to benefits that come with working with a large consulting firm.
Some associates look at the GGI Platform as simply an additional source of work. However, most are drawn by opportunities to pursue larger projects, access leading-edge tools and resources, get assistance in marketing, proposal development and project implementation, and become a member of the GGI community.
There is no cost to you of becoming a GGI Associate. If you work on one of our projects, we negotiate the fees with you and typically apply a markup when invoicing the client. Where we assist you in obtaining or completing a project, we would negotiate the terms for those services with you.
By joining the GGI Platform, you make no commitment to work with us or to be a member of any of our project teams (we’ll first check with you before including you in a proposal or making client referrals). There are no restrictions whatsoever on your ability to pursue work on your own or work with other firms.
