How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
With nearly 20 years of human resource management experience, in leading organizations, Carl Nielson consistently approached internal clients with a consultative and partnering perspective. After gaining experience and success in full balance sheet responsibilities as CEO of IHRIM, Inc (a nonprofit global association), he felt he was ready to do the consulting work that he'd been wanting to do for several years.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Many of my peers in the assessment administration area come from sales. That is not to say they aren't competent; I just look at the client with a pure consulting service and coaching perspective, wanting to identify what solutions will best serve the client. My extensive strategic HR background has given me a comprehensive understanding of organizational design, change strategy and executive management goals. I've worked with board of directors of publicly traded corporations, senior management teams of billion dollar global enterprises and owners of small businesses.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
The Nielson Group: Conveniently located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth and Newtown, CT so all areas of the country are relatively convenient.
We have clients in almost every state.
