Description

GGI Company Profile Goldense Group, Inc. [GGI] is a consulting, market research, and education firm founded by Bradford L. Goldense in 1985 for the purpose of specializing in leading edge management techniques and technologies for line management functions. GGI focuses in process improvement and technology integration between product strategy, product management, R&D, engineering, product development, procurement, manufacturing, materials, and commercialization functions. Specializing in leading edge management practices requires an ongoing commitment to learn and stay ahead of the needs of our clients. This is accomplished through our proprietary research, monthly review of ninety journals and trade publications, leadership roles with professional and trade associations, speaking and networking in leading conferences, and application-focused consulting with high-tech, commercial, and defense clients pushing the adoption curve. Almost all of our clients are leaders in their industry or market segments. GGI HISTORY GGI initially focused on assisting clients with manufacturing process and productivity improvements including factory redesign, CIM, JIT, materials management, purchasing, vendor management, outsourcing, and product costing; and the integration of these factory and production activities with MRP/DRP/ERP business systems. At founding, it could be seen that the initial business focus would only sustain the corporation for a few years. By the end of the 1980s, opportunities to assist corporations to achieve break-through results in these areas would be largely realized.GGI began shifting our resources to focus on the challenges of the future that would define it as a corporation. As with many businesses, the initial focus of the company was an extension of the founder's immediate experience. Mr. Goldense had been raised in a private family engineering business and he too became an engineer. Upon graduation, he went to Texas Instruments where he was put in charge of starting up new TI factories after some time in design engineering. He directed a several-hundred person organization and multi-million dollar budgets to bring new facilities on-line. After receiving a master degree with a concentration in cost accounting, he joined Price Waterhouse Consulting where he installed MRP/DRP/ERP and factory automation control systems in several companies. These hands-on deep-skill experiences spanning all aspects of manufacturing and factory operations resulted in an invitation to join a team of people at the Index think tank. Index had just started developing the revolutionary management science of "business process engineering" or "reengineering." This McKinsey-style technology consultancy had a global reach and worked exclusively at the top of industry. As reengineering became mainstream and went global, numerous members of the creating team spun out. Mr. Goldense was hired as the global manufacturing industry and engineering-discipline subject matter expert for Index, and he remained so under GGI through ongoing contracts with Index until it was acquired in 1990.
