About Me

Hi, my name is Alana Guiney and I founded ARG Consulting, LLC in 2019. I hold a Ph.D. in Health Services Organization and Policy from The University of Michigan.

From a young age, I have loved all things data. I was always the child taking things apart and asking “why?” and “how?” about anything and everything. That’s how I approach data; as something, I want to take apart, solve, and put back together in a way that makes sense. Finding the different ways to make data work for a company is challenging to me.

Before I started ARG Consulting, LLC, I worked in healthcare administration, finding inefficiencies in the paperwork process and creating better ways to understand the patient population.  I love data not only for its own sake but for what it can do for a business. Beautiful slide decks full of charts and information don’t mean anything if the underlying data is error-ridden or if it doesn’t tell the complete story.

As a data expert, I know exactly how you can optimize your data within your business. Based on your objective(s), I will make a plan to reach the right insight.

Testimonials

ABTEK Financial Waterford, MI

ARG Consulting managed in two weeks what we had been trying to do for years on our own, distill our workflow into a comprehensive and compact diagram for reference. Alana helped us find gaps in our process we didn’t even realize were holding us back. Now, we are using that workflow map to update our CRM, add performance-based metrics, and grow our sales channels without having to rehash the same conversations for every new project. The developer cost for the CRM dropped from $350,000 to $50,000 because of this workflow documentation being in place.  It has also opened up so many opportunities to use the data we already had to improve our business.  Alana and ARG Consulting were a pleasure to work with and her ability to understand our business quickly and accurately provided so much more than the simple workflow study we were expecting.
