IRCG Partners

The entire IRCG team is made up of battle-tested experts who quickly and effectively impart clients with the necessary knowledge and skills. We then leave to move onto the next project instead of burdening you with a consultant who wants to remain on a retainer fee. When appropriate, we perform periodic check-ups on programs and systems. Since IRCG’s founding in 1987 by J. Michael Marks, a current DREF Research Fellow, our “real world” experience fosters an understanding and empathy that makes our partnership invaluable when clients are facing challenges to improve.
