About Inspirant Group
Inspirant Group was
founded in 2017 by three
former consultants that were
looking to build something
new. They are a group of
#unconsultants that provide
companies with expertise in
Strategy and Operations,
Learning and Development,
and Technology and Data.
They have redefined the
consultant role and industry
and are driven by inspiration
and seek to inspire others
along the way.

9. During the competition, we
overheard…
“My favorite part was seeing the students work through challenges and
discover that they can figure it out on their own. - Inspirant Group
Coach
I feel like today was so fun because our coaches were so helpful.
When we started I didn’t know anything about this company but
during our team time they taught me a little bit about their company.
After today I want to work there when I get older! - SuitUp Student
I was really impressed that the CEOs caught on to our organization
culture so quickly and came up with such fun ideas that really capture
our personality and represent us well! - Inspirant Group Coach
Today I learned it’s better to collaborate with teammates because if
you do it alone, you won’t succeed. - SuitUp Student
