Our enhanced Efficiency First® Team Performance Certification Program provides a comprehensive framework for teams to validate their performance, identify areas for improvement, and align with industry best practices. This program is a game-changer for organizations looking to maximize the value of their technology investments.”

The AOTMP® Efficiency First® Team Performance Certification Program offers several key benefits:

  1. Performance Measurement: Assesses team capabilities across 30 Core Practice Areas, providing a 360-degree view of performance.

About Bearstone

Bearstone is a telecom vendor governance firm founded by Bill Henrichs, Former Head of Telecommunications at Simon Property Group. Managing telecom for a 200+ site portfolio, Bill saw what most CIOs learn: invoices routinely carry unauthorized charges — services billed after disconnect, rates outside contracted terms — that no one is validating line by line. He built Bearstone to close that gap.

Bearstone delivers BearGuard — a managed governance service that validates invoices against contracted terms, surfaces unauthorized charges and variance, and holds carriers accountable for correction. Where TEM platforms stop at reporting, BearGuard begins.

Headquartered in Noblesville, Indiana, Bearstone serves multi-site enterprises — retail, hospitality, and distribution — with 200+ locations or $2M+ in annual telecom spend.
