“Before retaining Centripetal Strategies, the Columbus Cancer Clinic board engaged both an independent consultant and a national firm to evaluate our options.  The resulting reports were very general in nature and did not contain much information we did not already know.  Centripetal Strategies’ work was of a much higher caliber.”
