The Novak Consulting Group

For nearly a decade, a highly respected management consulting firm named Public Management Partners helped a variety of organizations function more effectively. Through the years the firm’s founding partners, David Vaclavik and Barb Grant, built a sizeable client base of predominantly local governments in the Midwest and nonprofit organizations. Projects ranged from those as small as conducting community workshops to those as sweeping as analyzing the operational efficiency of entire departments within a municipality.

In 2009, Julia D. Novak acquired Public Management Partners and founded The Novak Consulting Group, staffed by consultants with decades of collective experience. With The Novak Consulting Group, Julia is building on Public Management Partners’ reputation for innovation and results while expanding the company’s services nationwide. Her new company meets a wider range of need, consulting with governments in the areas of public works, public safety, human resources, finance, planning, IT and more.
