“LMD delivered more than their quantitative methodology and expertise in helping USG shape its near-and long-term strategic opportunities. They began by really listening, then drew on their wealth of real-market experience working with complex organizations, adapted to our changing needs, and challenged us to think more effectively about what and how we could accomplish our vision. They worked alongside us each step of the way and the results were terrific.”
