Welcome To C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.®

C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E.S.® was originally founded as a Family Business in 1993 by Jim (a Certified Management Consultant) and Ann Marie Kwaiser (RN) in Pittsburgh, PA. Our services are now utilized nationally and internationally.

What makes us different from other "Consulting Firms?" We ARE a family business. We offer personalized service producing results within hours not months.

We work exclusively with Families in Business who want to develop and execute their succession planning and operational processes, sharpen their business practices and strengthen their relationships.

With over 30 years of experience, we understand the unique challenges facing families and business.  With our practical experiences and proven processes we can help each family understand their specific challenges, prioritize them in a manageable way and implement solutions that will be in the best interest of the family and the business.

We pride ourselves on working with families in business, no matter what the size or complexity, no matter what the industry or location, to find the solutions that will improve family relationships, enhance the “bottom-line” and produce a succession plan and/or strategic plan that will be a “fit” for the uniqueness of your family and business.

"I appreciate what you have done for our company. I was somewhat hesitant with the decision to hire consultants as we have had others with little to no results. Now, I am not sure what we would have done without you. I most appreciate the help you have provided to us in our communication. Our increased ability to communicate has helped in every aspect of our company, particularly in the decision making process. Thanks for the caring spirit you have showed to our family and our business."
