We bring reliable, responsive, consistent industry-tailored services to the needs of our clients

Strategic Planning

Every CEO has a vision, but that vision can become lost in the day-to-day struggle to stay on top. For fast-growing, entrepreneurial companies, it doesn’t make sense to hire people for strategy, planning, and management that larger companies do. On the other hand, without the complex organizational structures and workforce, entrepreneurial companies are more agile, and the organizational change required to adapt to changing market conditions is less rigorous.

Leaders articulate the vision that the organization gets behind. Capabilities are the things your business needs to deliver on that vision, and the organizational model reveals how you will use people to compete and create value. These all come together – the vision, key capabilities, and the organization – to realize the objectives you have for your business.

While your organization is charged with consistent delivery of high-quality services to customers, you also have to define and lead change, whether that is introducing a new product or service, implementing new technology, or acquiring a new division.

Our Strategic Planning services focus on supporting the CEO with defining the vision, determining where to invest, and organizing to create the outcomes that drive revenue, profit, and cash flow. The emphasis is on “why” and “what,” not “how” – that will come later. Our Strategic Planning services include:

• CEO coaching
• Business strategy and planning
• Capabilities identification and planning
• Organizational design and planning
• Financial modeling
• Program and project management

Management Consulting

Management consulting is the practice of helping companies improve their performance. As your company grows, you will face new challenges in defining and managing your plan, whether to better serve customers, close your books or manage your website. As your business evolves and complexity increases, investing in an evaluation of your people, processes, and technology is invaluable for preparing for future growth. Management consulting links the “why” and “what” to the “how” and leverages our experience in assisting other companies in addressing similar problems and opportunities. We assist clients with performance improvement in the following areas:

• Accounting and financial management
• Planning, budgeting, and cash flow management
• Supply Chain optimization
• Customers, revenue, and profitability
• Business operations and workforce management

• HR performance management
• Cybersecurity management
• Outsourcing feasibility, execution, and management
