Building Intelligent Organizations in a World of Complexity.

Ashwood Research & Consulting (ARCC) is a veteran‑owned advisory firm delivering mission‑critical leadership for organizations navigating complexity, modernization, and AI transformation.

​

We help public sector agencies, higher‑education institutions, healthcare systems, and global enterprises build the clarity they need to operate, evolve, and lead with confidence.

​

Our work is grounded in the Seven Pillars of Organizational Intelligence™ — a framework developed from decades of cross‑sector experience spanning NASA mission systems, DHS multi‑agency integration, statewide digital transformation, global enterprise modernization, and academic medical center operations.

​

Organizations come to ARCC when they need:

• Leadership that can stabilize complexity

• Strategy that aligns people, systems, and operations

• Modernization that actually works

• AI readiness grounded in governance and clarity

• A Fractional CIO who can step in and deliver immediately

 

We bring the discipline of a veteran, the precision of a mission‑critical engineer, and the insight of a cross‑sector strategist.

​

Our mission is simple: help leaders build organizations that think clearly, act decisively, and perform reliably — no matter how complex the environment.
