Our History

McIntosh & Associates was founded in 1997 as an independent management consulting firm by a team of consultants who previously worked together at AT Kearney.

We launched our business not with a whimper but with a bang, supporting large scale initiatives for two Fortune 100 firms in the first few months. In 1997 we also partnered with FedEx and American Airlines to launch a small networking group of non-competing market leaders to engage in real-time benchmarking on call center challenges, innovations, and emerging technologies. The invitation only group still meets twice annually with a member of the network hosting the events and McIntosh handling meeting logistics and meeting facilitation.

From our very first client project in 1997, we have focused on understanding and improving the customer experience and its role in driving customer loyalty and retention. We were early pioneers in leveraging customer feedback by correlating call handling observations to the customer’s perception of service. While project objectives may vary based on the client or the industry, we still maintain that consistent customer focus today, ensuring that our recommendations and solutions are aligned with the client’s customer experience strategy and will therefore enhance, rather than erode, their critical customer relationships.
