How We Keep Evolving
Our Story,
Our Journey
In 2001 Ken Crafford and John Dick recognized a gap in executive consulting services. The founders joined forces to create The StrataFusion Group, filling that gap with a unique “Technology Plus Business” executive consulting practice, fusing the layers of business + technology strategy, implementation, and business value; delivering unbiased, impactful business results.
Today, The StrataFusion Group remains true to its core purpose and expertise. With a larger team, and through many evolutions of technology and business, our clients continue to recognize and appreciate the relevancy, need and value for these services. The ever increasing pace of change and business dependency on technology has increased the demand for our real world experience and insightful guidance - identifying practical solutions and a roadmap to results.
Our vision is to be transformational advisors for digital business.
