Prosci
Prosci was founded in 1994 by Jeff Hiatt, a former Bell Labs engineer and program manager who identified a gap in how organizations handle the human side of corporate change. The firm is headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, with additional offices in Canada, Australia, Belgium, the UK, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Singapore, and Portugal. Prosci sells a proprietary change-management methodology backed by ongoing benchmarking research. Its offerings include training and certification programs for practitioners, advisory services for enterprise transformations, and the Prosci ADKAR Model (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement). The firm focuses on two primary transformation types: ERP implementations and AI adoption. Clients include Avnet, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Microsoft — the latter cited Prosci's role in supporting its Investor Relations team's platform change. Geographical footprint spans North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The firm reports it has trained over 267,000 people and operates in countries with Prosci teams and partners. It does not disclose revenue, AUM, or ownership structure. Prosic maintains a philanthropic arm supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, and local Fort Collins charities — separated from its commercial operations (per firm website). Prosci's structural differentiator is its adjacency to academic research: it builds all products on its own longitudinal benchmarking studies of change leaders, not consulting intuition. It does not operate as an investment vehicle or asset manager — the firm is a for-profit research-and-education company that licenses methodology and certifies practitioners.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns Prosci?
Prosci was founded and is still privately held by Jeff Hiatt. No institutional investors or family-office backers are disclosed. Ownership details beyond the founder are not public.
Is Prosci structured as a family office or investment firm?
No. Prosci is a for-profit professional services and education company, not an asset manager or family office. It generates revenue through training, certification, advisory, and licensing of proprietary methodology.
Does Prosci manage external capital or invest in companies?
Prosci does not manage external capital or make venture/private equity investments. Its business model is fee-for-service, not capital deployment.
What sectors does Prosci focus on?
Prosci works across industries but emphasizes enterprise transformations, particularly ERP system migrations (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) and AI adoption. It also serves healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and government clients.
What is the Prosci ADKAR Model?
ADKAR stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement — a five-step framework Prosci developed from its research to guide individual change. It is central to Prosci's training and certification programs.
Who are Prosci's notable clients?
Publicly named clients include Avnet, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Microsoft. Microsoft's Global Director of Adoption & Change Management Strategy, Alistair G. Lowe-Norris, credited Prosci as the global leader in change management (per firm website).
How does Prosci differentiate from consulting firms like McKinsey or Deloitte?
Prosci exclusively sells change-management methodology and certification, not general management consulting. Its offerings are built on proprietary benchmarking research, whereas large consultancies embed change management as one component of broader transformation programs.
