Evans Consulting Employees Achieve Elite Strategic Management Certifications
Falls Church, VA – In a demonstrative move that strengthens its commitment to the mission fulfillment of its customers, Evans Consulting has announced that fully 20 percent of its consultant workforce have earned two distinctive credentials in the disciplines of strategic planning and strategy management:
- Strategy Planning Professional (SPP) certification from the International Association for Strategy Professionals (IASP)
- Strategic Management Performance System (SMPS) certification from LBL Strategies, in conjunction with George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (GW CEPL) and the Baldrige Foundation.
This initiative represents the embodiment of relentless progress within the management consulting industry and serves as a testament to the company’s enduring commitment to professional growth. These high-caliber certifications underscore the exceptional rigor and comprehensive knowledge that is now synonymous with the Evans Consulting brand.

“The deep drive to build upon our expertise and leadership in strategic planning that our team exhibits with this accomplishment catapults not only their careers, but our collective capability to deliver breakthrough strategies that align to and enable mission success,” said Stephanie Perlick, Chief Operations Officer at Evans Consulting.
Jesse Lambert, who coordinated and led the learning cohort, reflected on the comprehensive impact of this achievement, “Evans believes in the power of growing both our consultants’ expertise and our clients’ organizational excellence through commitment to strategy. Our collective pursuit of these rigorous credentials has sharpened our skills in strategy facilitation and advisory. More importantly, though, we are now even better positioned to enable our clients to clarify their mission and business goals and realize their visions for an ideal future.”
