The Trium Group

The Trium Group is a San Francisco, California-based boutique management consulting firm. Its stated mission is to "change the world by changing the way business leaders think." They believe that an organization's leaders have a profound impact on how people make choices, take action and, so it reasons, produce results.

The firm focuses on strategy execution deeply integrated with organizational leadership and culture development. They partner with senior executives to explore and develop strategies, and then continue to work closely with them to align, equip and mobilize their organizations to successfully implement their strategic choices. Many of the firm’s engagements center around strategy execution and roadmapping, initiative management, organizational design, alignment and performance, culture building and large-scale organizational change and senior team effectiveness (both for individuals and senior intact teams).[1]

Notable clients

Trium’s notable global client base has included Cisco Systems, Genentech, Flextronics, Gap, NetApp, SAP, Symantec, Virgin Atlantic Airways, VMware, 24 Hour Fitness and The World Bank among many others.[2]

The consultancy was founded in 1998 by Andrew Blum, Jib Ellison, Tom Miller and Jon Rich. Blum runs the firm as Managing Partner; the other founders are no longer involved. In its current structure, Andrew Blum is supported by three seasoned partners: Monica Chi, Brad Sutton and Catherine Gray. A full list of team members can be found on their website. [3]

Awards and recognition

In 2012, Trium was recognized as one of Consulting Magazine's "Small Jewels" - an award given to the top small consulting firms in the country. [4]

In 2006, Trium generated attention when The Wall Street Journal profiled the firm for its stated policy of letting dissatisfied clients pay as little as half of their contracted services fees and asking delighted clients to pay up to 35% more than their contracted fees.[5] Also that year, Trium Managing Consultant Yul Kwon leveraged his leadership consulting skills to win Survivor: Cook Islands.[6]

In 2007, Trium earned recognition from San Jose Magazine as one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s 50 “Best Place to Work.”[7]
