ABOUT TBM GROUP

Technology Changes.
Good Business
Conversations Don't.

TBM Group was built around a simple belief:

The best technology decisions begin by understanding
the business - not by starting with the technology.

Today's executives face an increasingly complex technology marketplace.
New solutions emerge constantly. Providers multiply. Artificial intelligence is
changing what's possible. Cybersecurity risks continue to evolve.

The challenge isn't finding technology.

The challenge is determining which
technology actually makes sense for your
business.

That’s where TBM Group begins.

WHY TBM GROUP

Business Objective First.
Technology Second.

TBM Group provides business leaders with a different
way to navigate technology decisions.

  • We begin by listening.
  • We learn about your organization, your priorities, your challenges and where you're trying to go.
  • Then we help evaluate the technologies, providers and resources that may best support those goals.
  • Our role isn't to push a predetermined answer.

It’s to help leadership ask better
questions, understand the possibilities
and make better – informed decisions.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Leadership Begins
by Listening.

We believe better questions lead to better
conversations.
Better conversations lead to better decisions.
And better decisions create stronger
organizations.

That’s why our first question isn’t:

“What technology do you need?”

It’s:

"What are you trying to
accomplish?"

Technology should support your business
strategy – not define it.

MEET GARY HOVIND

Principal / Trusted Advisor

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the most valuable technology conversations rarely begin with products. They begin with understanding the business.

My role at TBM Group is to listen, understand what leadership is trying to accomplish and help determine how technology can best support that vision.

I believe executives should have someone they can call when a technology question or business challenge arises—even when they aren’t yet sure what type of solution they need.

Sometimes the conversation leads to a technology change.

Sometimes it leads to improving what an organization already has.

And sometimes the right answer
is to make no change at all.

The objective isn’t to sell technology.

It’s to help you make the right business decision.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS.
SO DOES PERSPECTIVE.

Technology decisions don't happen in isolation. They affect
people, productivity, customers, operations, security, finances
and growth.

Experience helps us understand those connections. But
experience alone isn't enough.

Today's technology environment requires a broader
perspective - access to current research, multiple providers,
technical expertise and the ability to compare rapidly changing
options.

TBM Group combines the personal
relationship of a Trusted Advisor
with the resources needed to
navigate a broad technology
marketplace.

Personal Guidance.
Broader Resources.
Better-Informed Decisions.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM TBM GROUP

WE LISTEN FIRST

Before discussing technology,
we want to understand the
objective.

WE TAKE A BROADER VIEW

We aren’t limited to beginning
with one predetermined
technology or provider.

WE RESPECT YOUR TIME

We use research, comparison,
analytics and technical
resources to help accelerate
the evaluation process and
reduce complexity.

WE KEEP THE BUSINESS
OBJECTIVE IN FOCUS

Technology is evaluated based
on how well it supports what
your organization is trying to
accomplish.

WE VALUE THE RELATIONSHIP

Our goal isn’t simply to
complete a transaction. It’s to
become a resource you feel
comfortable calling when
technology and business
decisions intersect.

ONE CONVERSATION CAN BE THE START OF SOMETHING VALUABLE.

You don’t need a technology project
already defined.

You don’t need to know which provider
you want.

You don’t need to know exactly what
solution you need.

You simply need something in your organization that you would like to improve, solve or accomplish.

Tell me what you're trying to accomplish.

Let's start the conversation.
