Cambridge Technology Partners

Cambridge Technology Partners (Japanese: ケンブリッジ・テクノロジー・パートナーズ株式会社, CTP) is a Japan-based multinational professional services company that specializes in business and IT consulting.

The company is known for facilitation-based consulting, focusing on bringing out a client’s transformation mindset, deciding on realistic and acceptable goals, and overcoming the barriers between teams and departments.

The newly independent company named James Sims as CEO and Robert Gett as head of Technology and Consulting.

Novell felt that the ability to offer solutions (a combination of software and services) was key to satisfying customer demand.

He then hired back Chris Stone as vice chairman and CEO to set the course for Novell's strategy into open source and enterprise Linux.

The firm employs methodologies, frameworks, and a facilitative approach to define corporate and operational issues and find solutions that work for stakeholders.

This is an application of the facilitation's idea of "encouraging participants' involvement, eliciting independence, and focusing on overall consensus building" in the execution of the project.
