<p class="Sidebar_Text">"The Duvall Group Consulting is a notch above their competitors in terms of their approach, common sense and practical recommendations, and perhaps, more importantly, their customer service and follow-up. Bowdoin College was fortunate enough several years to have them look at our bookstore operation when it was being re-located and we were also asked to consider the option of outsourcing. We did not outsource and have managed, despite a smaller space, to turn a net positive bottomline every year since - due in large part to the services of Duvall Group Consulting."<br />

<div class="Sub_Title_Text">Ron Duvall</div>
<p class="text">Ron Duvall, President and Founder of Duvall Consulting Group, LLC, has been directing his management consultation firm since 1992. Duvall Consulting is currently recognized as the premier college bookstore consulting company, and has expanded to include university dining service operations, K-12 school district textbook asset management, and K-12 school district food service operations. Management training and specialized presentations are also part of his repertoire.<br />
<br />
Duvall brings unique, focused experience and expertise in bookstore, university and institutional operations. Accountant, Campus Store Director, Book Center Manager, Vice President for Operations, and Director of Book Shops are just some of the positions he has held, and Georgetown University, Campus Books, Inc., Follett Corporation, and Johns Hopkins University, some of his employers.<br />
<br />
Recognizing the need for specific operational and financial reviews, Duvall also realized the need for schools and universities to examine the potential impact on other entities and services provided within a district or campus. With passion and affinity, Duvall effectively helps colleges and school districts improve operations and customer service, enhance management and viability, and control costs and effect positive financial variance. His consultation services include operational reviews and evaluations, development and implementation of action plans, RFP development, contract writing and negotiations, comparative analyses, management training programs, and more.<br />
<br />
Included among Duvall’s countless accomplishments are: designing, building and opening stores; computerizing store systems such as Point of Sale, product scanning, backroom systems for textbooks, trade books, and accounting; effecting significant financial improvements and return on investment; and developing used book programs.<br />
<br />
Some of the clients to benefit from Duvall Consulting Group’s services include the University of Southern California, Syracuse University, University of Miami, Howard University, Fordham University, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Northern Virginia Community College.</p>
