Why We’re Different

Our only goal is:
Moving your vision from PowerPoints to Financial Statements
This requires a focus on two critical elements:
-
Innovation and building for the future and
-
Optimizing the current products, services, and customer experiences.
By making your vision a reality for you, we fulfill our mission.
How We Do It
We use an approach executing on big ideas that has delivered results for over 30 years.
Strategic execution management follows a 3 Step Process:
-
Clarifying the Vision – what does your world look like in 5 or 10 years?
-
What will be different about what your customers want?
-
What will new technology enable in your industry/specialty?
-
What will be the biggest threats to your organization?
-
-
Mapping the Path – where should you be in 1, 3 and 5 years?
-
Map out a high-level 5-year plan
-
Map out the next 90 days in detail, aimed at the 1-year target
-
Identify critical metrics and an approach to pivoting
-
Create an idea testing and innovation plan
-
-
Strategic Implementation – rules of the road
-
Separate short-term and long-term activities
-
Focus on achieving outcomes, not completing tasks
-
Know how and where each person and action impact the customer
-
Strategic execution is an iterative process that you should:
-
Go through deeply once a year or as sudden market changes occur, and
-
Review at least quarterly to verify you are on target and update the 1-year goals
Transferring Knowledge
To ensure you are always in control, our goal is to guide you through the first year by being a regular part of your strategic execution team.
During that time, we will:
-
Co-manage the process for you and
-
Teach you and your core team the methodology
After that, we’ll reduce our engagement level to what you decide works best for you.

Determine from where your vision and profit are leaking; and
