Griffiths Sheppard Consulting began as an informal collaboration between Kevin Sheppard and Jeff Griffiths, two Certified Management Consultants from Alberta. After working together on a number of projects beginning in 2002, they formally incorporated Griffiths Sheppard Consulting Group, Inc. in 2004.
Since the beginning, the company has focused on competency development and recognition for key sectors – construction, transportation and logistics, oil and gas, mining, agriculture, manufacturing – the industries that form the backbone of the Canadian economy. We are now offering services to municipalities, particularly in the area of public works and infrastructure – the places where skilled trades workers are found.
The strength of the company lies in the background of the founders. We are the consultants with dirt under our nails and mud on our boots. We’ve been in the field, we understand the challenges faced by front-line workers, we speak their language, and above all else we recognize that it’s these front-line workers that are the key to an organization’s success. We’re able to work throughout the organization, from the shop floor to the boardroom.
