We at CFAR bring a commitment to unleashing potential and maximizing impact for our clients, through our management consulting and executive coaching services that deliver both desired outcomes and improved relationships. We have, for close to four decades, provided guidance and expertise to tackle the thorniest issues—ones often rooted in a misalignment between important organizational goals and individual beliefs about what it will take to achieve them. We come to our work as curious problem-solvers. Our heritage as the Wharton School’s only multi-disciplinary, applied research center lives on in our continued dedication to advising leaders on complex organizational issues where both people and performance matter.

CFAR’s mission is to help leaders activate their organizations to achieve their highest aspirations—productively, meaningfully, profitably, and with impact.

We take a multidisciplinary, systemic approach to consulting and coaching engagements, drawing on a seasoned team of experienced consultants from a variety of disciplines and with a broad range of training, credentials, and capabilities.

Our clients lead organizations where mission and purpose are central and engagement and alignment matter—in healthcare, family enterprises, owner-led businesses, higher education, foundations, associations, and other corporate and non-profit entities. Together, we partner to first discover (sometimes hidden) obstacles to success and then break through them using research-based ideas, tools, and approaches. Ultimately, our work aligns strategy, strengthens culture, builds teams, and improves outcomes.

Forbes has repeatedly named CFAR as one of America’s top management consulting firms. We serve clients from our offices in Philadelphia and Boston and through a network of coaches and colleagues from across the US and the world.
