Small Firm, Big Achievement: The Poirier Group Earns Spot on Forbes List of Best Management Consulting Firms
Forbes, in partnership with global data provider Statista, conducted comprehensive surveys of both clients and industry experts. Out of thousands of management consulting firms across North America—an industry that includes over 730,000 consultants—only 191 firms made the cut this year. The Poirier Group based in Toronto, is also one of just a handful of Canadian consultancies to receive this honor in 2025, demonstrating its ability to compete and excel at an international level.

This recognition arrives at a pivotal time when companies across most industry sectors are navigating unprecedented levels of change: rapid advancements in technology, evolving workplace dynamics post-pandemic, widespread burnout, and public policy shifts affecting everything from environmental standards to diversity and equity. The current climate has created a surge in demand for agile, innovative consulting partners—especially those capable of integrating next-generation solutions like generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to advance business competitiveness.
TPG's inclusion on the Forbes list—and particularly, its recognition in the Artificial Intelligence consulting category—is a testament to the firm's ability to not only meet but anticipate and exceed evolving client needs. TPG has already positioned itself by going beyond basic automation to applying AI to accelerate performance, solve complex challenges, and drive meaningful transformation.

'We are absolutely thrilled to be recognized on the Forbes 2025 list,' said David Poirier, CEO at The Poirier Group. 'As a boutique firm, we pride ourselves on personalized service, deep operational expertise, an unwavering focus on client impact and delivering a better consulting experience. To be acknowledged alongside global consulting giants is both humbling and energizing for our entire team.'
Punching Above Their Weight
The Poirier Group has built its brand and reputation through results. The firm specializes in operational excellence, helping clients across key sectors such as retail, supply chain, manufacturing, private equity, healthcare, and government to improve performance and achieve long-term sustainability.
Rather than offering broad, theoretical strategies out of the box, TPG focuses on hands-on, execution-driven consulting—delivering consistently and producing measurable outcomes, from cost reduction and productivity gains to strategic transformation and technology adoption. And, because most change initiatives come with the price of inherent resistance, TPG has indoctrinated a proven collaborative approach that achieves strategic alignment and builds workforce momentum to adapt to a new way of working, enhancing agility and the adoption of change.
Their disciplined and personalized approach has earned the firm repeat business and client referrals, which played a critical role in its Forbes recognition. According to Statista, the rankings are based on two surveys:
Self-nominations were not accepted, making TPG's appearance on the list a clear validation of its reputation in the industry and amongst its clients.
A Canadian Voice in a Crowded U.S. Market
While the list primarily highlights top consulting firms operating in the United States, The Poirier Group's inclusion demonstrates the cross-border strength and credibility of Canadian firms in the North American marketplace. Being one of only a few Canadian consulting firms to appear on this year's list amplifies the significance of their achievement and reflects the firm's growing influence beyond its home country.
'We've always believed that size or geography shouldn't limit our impact,' said Jared Frederici, Partner. 'We take pride in our ability to provide a high-touch service and rapid delivery, with a flexible approach that blends onsite and virtual work. This resonates with clients who require the least disruption to continued operations. We demonstrate empathy fashioned by our experience with most of our consulting team having come from industry. This perspective ensures that we deliver pragmatic solutions that are achievable and sustainable. We work with clients who want a real partnership—one they can count on to advance their goals and build a winning culture.'
Consulting in a Time of Disruption
The consulting industry itself is evolving rapidly with the rise of GenAI shifting client expectations dramatically. Research from the IBM Institute for Business Value indicates that 86% of consulting clients are actively looking for firms that offer AI-enhanced services —not just basic tools, but advanced applications that can help reshape entire business models.
As a Forbes-recognized firm in the Artificial Intelligence category, The Poirier Group is already ahead of that curve. Its consultants are helping clients unlock value from GenAI not by treating it as a one-size-fits-all solution, but by applying it strategically to areas like workflow automation, predictive analytics, digital twin modeling, and performance optimization.

The firm is expanding its capabilities in emerging technologies, strengthening its presence in high-growth sectors, and continuing to invest in its people—ensuring they remain ahead of the curve in a fast-changing business environment.

Exro Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
CALGARY, AB, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Exro Technologies Inc. (TSX: EXRO) ("Exro" or the "Company"), a leading technology company specializing in power control solutions for electric vehicles and energy storage, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Q2 2025 Highlights Revenue of $2.9 million from the delivery of 18 electric propulsion units and aftersales services. Completed strategic wind-down of Asia-Pacific operations, retaining intellectual property and key subsidiaries. To date, accessed US$10.0 million of the up to US$30.0 million debt facility from an existing lender. Financial Results Revenue for Q2 2025 was $2.9 million, compared to $4.7 million in Q2 2024, reflecting reduced unit volumes in response to slower EV adoption rates. Gross margin per unit improved versus the prior year, excluding inventory provisions. Net loss from continuing operations was $81.7 million, which includes significant non-cash adjustments associated with the Company's strategic focus. These adjustments include: A $48.5 million impairment of intangible assets — primarily developed technology, brand, and customer relationships — reflecting the wind-down of APAC operations, and updated production forecasts. An $11.1 million inventory provision, also non-cash, related to the identification of excess and obsolete inventory. This provision aligns inventory values with near-term forecasted production and a leaner capital-efficient operating model. Update on Strategic Process The Company confirms that the strategic review process described in its May 16, 2025 press release remains ongoing. The Company is in active negotiations with credible strategic partners, and continues to draw on its US$30 million interim finance facility as appropriate. The Company will provide further updates in due course, but cautions that there can be no assurance that any transaction will be consummated. ABOUT EXRO TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Union members disrupt Air Canada press briefing with protest
Protesters disrupted an Air Canada briefing after eight months of unsuccessful negotiations between the airline and the union representing the flight attendants, with the two sides remaining far apart on pay, the airline says. Air Canada has opted to temporarily halt all flights, and it's unclear at this point how long the lockout could last.
