The Consultancy helps organizations, entrepreneurs, investors, attorneys, and property owners make informed business, operational, technical, and project decisions through specialized advisory practices built on decades of real-world experience.
Strategic guidance for building, improving, evaluating, and resolving important business and technical challenges.
The Future of Consulting Isn't Artificial Intelligence. It's Artificial Intelligence Guided by Experience.
Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses gather information, evaluate options, and solve problems. At The Consultancy, we believe AI is one of the most powerful professional tools introduced in decades—and we use it every day to research, organize information, identify trends, and improve efficiency.
But information alone has never solved complex business problems.
Experience recognizes patterns that data cannot. Judgment weighs competing priorities. Practical knowledge understands what works in the real world, not just in theory. And accountability means standing behind every recommendation.
For more than four decades, we've helped businesses navigate operational challenges, strategic decisions, construction disputes, delivery systems, packaging innovations, and organizational growth. AI accelerates our work, but it does not replace the insight earned through decades of hands-on experience.
Our clients don't hire us because we have access to artificial intelligence.
They hire us because we know how to combine modern technology with proven judgment to deliver practical, defensible, and results-driven solutions.
Technology informs our recommendations. Experience gives them value.

Consulting experience
Every engagement begins with understanding the client's objectives, constraints, and desired outcomes.
We don't promote predetermined solutions or represent products. Instead, we provide independent guidance grounded in decades of executive leadership, operational experience, technical expertise, and real-world problem solving.
Whether the engagement involves launching a new business, evaluating an investment, improving operations, managing a construction project, or resolving a complex technical dispute, our objective remains the same:
Help clients make informed decisions with confidence.
Understanding the objectives before recommending solutions.
Evaluating operational, technical, financial, and strategic considerations.
Providing independent recommendations tailored to the client's goals.
Remaining engaged through implementation, evaluation, or resolution.
At The Consultancy, we believe that expertise should be shared—not hidden. Through books, articles, research, and practical frameworks, we help business leaders, entrepreneurs, property owners, investors, and legal professionals make more informed decisions.
Our publications reflect decades of real-world experience across restaurants, food trucks, packaging, delivery systems, construction forensics, and emerging industries.
Whether you're looking for strategic guidance or practical implementation tools, our growing library of resources is designed to help you build, improve, evaluate, and resolve with confidence.

The Consultancy was founded on a simple belief: the best strategic advice comes from real-world operating experience—not theory alone.
Over more than four decades, Eric Faber has advised organizations across restaurants, foodservice, packaging, manufacturing, delivery systems, construction, and emerging industries. That breadth of experience provides a perspective that few advisors can offer.
Rather than approaching challenges through a single discipline, Eric draws upon experience across multiple industries to help clients launch new ventures, improve operations, evaluate opportunities, resolve technical issues, and make informed business decisions.
Today, that philosophy continues through The Consultancy and its specialized advisory practices, providing independent guidance grounded in practical experience, technical expertise, and long-term thinking.
Every engagement begins with a conversation.
Whether you're launching a new venture, improving an existing operation, evaluating an opportunity, navigating a technical challenge, or simply looking for an experienced independent perspective, we'd welcome the opportunity to learn more about your objectives.
Let's discuss how The Consultancy can help you move forward with confidence.
