"The Hanson Group came in, sized up our capabilities and quickly assessed for us a market opportunity we were, frankly, hoping to ignore. We received not only an immediate set of recommendations for competing successfully in that market, but what proved to be a long-lasting model of the dynamics of that market…a powerful package of both strategic and practical value to a start-up looking for focus."
