About Thomas Schiesl

Management Consulting Leader with 27+ years of experience helping clients develop strategies, build roadmaps, and implement process and technology solutions. Through my career, I have primarily helped clients in the manufacturing and distribution industries. However, I incorporate my technology risk, financial, insurance, and services experience into my client engagements to provide my clients with a full lifecycle view. Management Consulting in 2014-15 and beyond will focus on listening to your unique business challenges and helping you address those challenges with business process improvement and technology enabled solutions. At Wipfli, we have the unique ability to help you accomplish this in an iterative, agile fashion, where your investments are backed by real business case. We deliver Enterprise Manufacturing and Distribution solutions. We deliver CRM and Decision Support / BI solutions. Although Wipfli may not be the only professionals delivering these solutions, with our SpiderLogic team, we are one of the few Management Consultancies that can also provide point, right-sized custom solutions as an alternative. We start with your business and work our way through the roadmap to get to the solution that meets your business challenges, instead of focusing on the solutions that we sell. My previous experiences at Accenture, Red Prairie, Baker Tilly, and MasterGraphics allowed me to gain the industry expertise, professional rigor, and client service to help companies identify their challenges and opportunities and determine the most appropriate approach to improve their people, processes, and technology.

Experience

1. Partner - Manufacturing & Distribution Consulting Leader

   Wipfli

   Oct 2014 — Present · Midwest, US

   I am responsible for working with my partners, peers, clients, and Manufacturing / Distribution companies in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota to drive quantifiable business value through process and technology improvement. It may be a cliché, but most people do not realize how leading edge (not bleeding edge) technology can change how customers interact with their suppliers. I will help you figure it out, before your competitors do.
