MADISON – Aberdean Consulting LLC, an emerging information technology consulting firm, has formed an eight-member advisory board to bolster the Madison-based firm’s competitiveness, performance and profitability. Advisory board members, who are drawn from Wisconsin’s finance, energy, business, technology, non-profit and education sectors, are: The establishment of this advisory committee comes nearly three years after Aberdean’s formal organization in 2003. Since then, Aberdean Consulting LLC has cultivated a diverse list of more than 40, continual-basis clients that includes the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce and Virent Energy Systems. The company’s focus has included life science firms and business organizations such as trade associations. “We are grateful each of these individuals will lend their expertise to Aberdean as we transition into the next phases of our growth strategy,” said Jim Blair, one of Aberdean’s three managing partners. “Not only do they represent an important cross-section of Wisconsin’s economic landscape, but they also foster a deep knowledge of how best to guarantee Aberdean’s continued success in an increasingly competitive market.” In addition to the formation of the advisory board, Aberdean Consulting LLC recently announced a restructuring arrangement and cooperative agreements with the Wisconsin Technology Council and the Wisconsin Biotech & Medical Device Association. The corporate restructuring moves the company away from a closely held model toward an employee partnership model, thus guaranteeing greater stability in governance and encouraging added employee buy-in.
