UGS Consulting (Upward Growth Solutions, LLC) is an NMSDC-Certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) based in Dallas, Texas. The firm specializes in two connected disciplines: Operational Performance & Transformation, and Workforce & Leadership Effectiveness — helping organizations improve how they work and how their people perform. Founded by Caroline Bernice Liddell, UGS serves government agencies, healthcare systems, higher education institutions, workforce development organizations, and enterprise clients across the United States. Every UGS engagement follows a five-phase model — Diagnose, Design, Implement, Train, and Measure — and is built on the principle that recommendations without implementation produce no results. UGS holds an active SAM.gov registration (CAGE Code: 20N48, UEI: F7LFLHMEZTE3) and is eligible for federal, state, and local government contracting. The firm's MBE certification satisfies supplier diversity requirements for government and institutional buyers.

Long Bio (~200 words · press features, conference programs)

Copy text

Caroline Bernice Liddell is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of UGS Consulting (Upward Growth Solutions, LLC), an NMSDC-Certified Minority Business Enterprise headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Caroline's consulting practice is built on two decades of hands-on practitioner experience — improving how organizations work and how their people perform. Her background spans government, healthcare, workforce development, professional services, and enterprise, and includes measurable outcomes across operational performance and workforce transformation, leadership development, technology adoption, and strategic growth. Among her documented results: employee satisfaction improved from 58% to over 80% at DB Schenker's Proctor & Gamble account through a structured rewards and incentive program; $1M+ in operational savings through HR modernization and staffing strategy at a regional merchandising company; $5M contract secured through strategic market expansion; 125% of sales performance goal attained across six consecutive measurement periods; and 13 consecutive years of sustained compliance managing a $2.5M budget inside a CMS and HHSC-regulated state facility. Caroline founded UGS on the conviction that most consulting firms deliver reports and leave — and that organizations deserve an implementation partner that stays through the work and measures whether performance actually improved. That principle drives every UGS engagement model, every client relationship, and every hire.
