Our Name
Our name, Lignum, derives from the latin phrase Lignum Vitae which means “tree of life”. The Tree of Life is a symbol of strength and growth, and represents the interconnectedness of all things. At LCG, we believe that successful companies understand the interconnectedness of people, processes and systems, and leverage these components to maximize productivity and value creation.

We view our clients’ businesses as fruit-bearing trees, and we work hard to ensure that we assist our clients in creating nurturing conditions that foster growth and productivity. Conditions that allow their businesses to grow as tall as they can.
