There is something strikingly uncommon about Blue Slate.

When forming Blue Slate in 2000, Blue Slate founders aimed to help complex organizations solve their complex challenges. It was clear that they needed an uncommon team: one with unrivaled expertise in Blue Slate's specialties — IT and business process — and exceptional breadth of experience.

Today, that team includes a cross-section of skilled people. They come from senior positions in health care and financial services, insurance and engineering, education and retail. At Blue Slate, they use their skills in IT, business rules automation, data integration, business process reengineering and business strategy.

This team structure allows Blue Slate to work with clients in an uncommon way: building relationships long before any need arises, then creating a highly customized team for each need when it does arise—a team with precisely the right background for the issue at hand. The resulting solutions enable clients to reach entirely new levels of productivity, efficiency, and profitability. That may be the most uncommon thing of all.
