. . . is often the hardest part. We make it easier for you by meeting with you,
listening to you describe your business' current and likely future challenges,
leaving, and coming back to you with a proposal on how to proceed. We help
define the underlying problem(s).
Typically, our engagements begin with a short evaluation phase, progress into a planning phase, and continue with an advisory phase.
During each phase, we keep the focus on the original objective, and bring in resources as required to augment your team's natural strengths and abilities. Our goal is to get your business up to the next level quickly, with minimal delays or distractions.
One or more of our senior partners works with your executive team responsible for managing the business and measuring results. We define the top 3 to 5 areas for focus that will result in the largest positive impacts on your business's bottom line, and define possible approaches for execution. We develop a high level cost benefit model to help prioritize the options.
The output is a recommendation suitable for funding a project planning phase for those projects selected from the top 5.
We create a complete project
plan suitable for staffing and funding, along with a list of qualified vendors
to provide any components or skills not available within your internal teams.
Our intent is to provide the bandwidth to help your executive team improve
your operations.
The output is the plan, in a form suitable for budgetary approval by your Board of Directors.
On a retainer basis, we provide ongoing, consistent interaction with your executive team to continually provide a seasoned, external and objective input to your decision making process. Effort level can range from as little as 2 days per month to as much as 2 days per week. We provide executive coaching services when and if needed. Meet the experienced team.
