Why Choose EMS?

We Focus on Value, Not Billable Hours

Most consulting firms are designed to maximize utilization—more days, more people, more activity. That model rewards effort, not outcomes. EMS Consulting Group operates differently. Our engagements are structured around clarity, execution, and results, not time spent. We do not sell hours, headcount, or predefined programs. We focus on identifying the few changes that matter most and helping leadership implement them in a way that actually sticks. If the right answer is less work, fewer initiatives, or no further engagement, we will say so. Our success is measured by the value delivered—not by how long we stay.

We Build Capability That Stays with You

Sustained performance does not come from dependence on external consultants. It comes from leaders and teams who understand how to run the business effectively. Every EMS engagement is designed to strengthen internal ownership—from leadership decision-making and operating cadence to problem-solving and execution at the value-stream level. Capability is built while real work is being done, not through disconnected training or handoffs. Our goal is for your organization to operate more effectively with us—and especially after we are gone.

Additional Client Results

Gen-Probe began working with EMS Consulting Group and Darren Dolcemascolo in 2009 to apply Lean concepts to the Operations and Quality divisions. Darren provided training to both the executive team and then in-depth, comprehensive training to a select group of would-be practitioners. He continued to work with Gen-Probe in a hands-on manner through value stream mapping sessions and kaizen blitz events. Darren is able to quickly see how the business operates and where the opportunities lie. Gen-Probe immediately achieved 66% - 95% improvement in processing and lead times in our first two manufacturing and business process kaizen blitz events.
