UPD Consulting is a Baltimore-based, minority-owned public sector management consulting firm that helps public school districts, state education agencies and local government agencies transform into organizations that manage performance for better outcomes. One of the characteristics that sets UPD’s professionals apart is our direct and extensive experience in public sector management. All of UPD’s partners and most of its professional staff have recently worked in senior or executive level positions reforming school districts and government agencies from the inside. Our first-hand knowledge of managing and reforming public sector programs grounds our strategies and implementation assistance in the day-to-day realities of executing change at the local level.
