We offer an alternative to the norm of strategic planning; more than an invigorating event that aligns your workforce, more than a day to generate a punch list of activities adding work to your already overloaded staff. We provide a systematic, repeatable process whereby your staff can identify the opportunities and threats that exist today, prioritize them based upon established criteria, and then refine the normal punch list to the critical few elements that will yield the most productive outcome.

Select the module that best fits your needs—jump in where you feel the greatest gap exists:

Module 1: Typically for newer organizations, or organizations impacted by extreme change, we help you refine or update your business plan and clarify why and how you conduct business within a specified marketplace.

Module 2: It’s beyond the SWOT, beyond brainstorming and creating lists of tasks that others must accomplish while lacking resources to do so. Our systematic approach uses industry-proven tools to identify the critical few things to action now. It identifies necessary resources available and then ensures that you aren’t exhausting those resources beyond capabilities.

Module 3: Being allowed to focus on the few most critical items, we assist you with creating goals and SMART objectives that will measure your progress toward a visionary outcome and reward the positive impacts of your workforce.

Our unique approach enables the workforce to better understand the business environment, enables them to perform a few critical things with excellence while maintaining daily operations within the resources available, and most importantly, take pride in the measured impacts of their contribution.

Knowing the current business culture is critical when matching the proper tool to the need. We apply practices that improve or restructure a business process that is failing to achieve the desired outcome. Having practice in multiple environments such as administrative, human resource processes, and manufacturing/production, we can help your team improve results.

Our intent is to come alongside your workforce sharing the tools necessary for improvement. By expanding the knowledge of your workforce, we strive to ensure that continuous improvement becomes engrained within your organization.
