Emergent Method is an award-winning management consulting firm focused on helping companies and organizations innovate, grow, improve their performance, and achieve their missions. We do this by bringing people and ideas together to understand opportunities, let ideas emerge and create multi-faceted solutions with results greater than the sum of their parts. We come from backgrounds of solving complex problems and implementing change, working with clients to help navigate shifting landscapes and seize opportunities – including those they had not seen before. From strategic planning and organizational design, to project management and strategic communications, we are dedicated to helping our clients adapt, innovate and grow – pushing systems, agencies, and industries to new heights, while developing strategic, systemic solutions and processes to support those goals. We opened our doors in 2012, and in 2017, we were honored as Company of the Year by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report and Junior Achievement, a recognizable benchmark of growth – and we seek the same measures of continuous improvement for the clients we serve. By definition, we are a team dedicated to our clients as they transform, come into being, or become prominent – as they emerge – by supporting organizational growth through systematic planning and action.
