The Virginia Group has worked with many organizations to secure improved performance. We've been active in changing organizations and organizational directions since 1987. Our client base ranges from Fortune 500 companies to sole proprietorships, from companies with 100+ years of experience to start-ups, from profit to non-profit, and from the seriously troubled organization to those in need of minor updates only. Clients include health care organizations, publishing companies, manufacturing sites, sales forces, the insurance industry, municipalities, and the construction industry. Our capabilities are broad, as you'll see from the abbreviated list of recent projects.
