TRUE NORTH CONSULTING PARTNERS, INC.
True North Consulting Partners (TN) is a North American based boutique consulting practice that specializes in turnaround management and business transformation practices.

ABOUT TRUE NORTH
True North was forged from the singular belief that organizations have the potential to achieve performance levels which are much greater than present results would indicate. When Andrew Thompson and John Pfuhler decided to create TN, both had held a variety of senior leadership roles in companies with varying ambitions, sizes, and cultures. And whether those companies were enjoying great years or experiencing challenging times, John and Andrew each felt significant frustration that much more should have been accomplished. They founded TN as a results-centric consultancy dedicated to partnering with companies to achieve outcomes consistent with potential.
