Growth Strategies

Business leaders face constant pressure for new and profitable growth. This requires a clear-eyed understanding of values, culture, purpose, and competitive advantage.

Our clients are the founders, directors, and managers of small entrepreneurial startups/early stage companies, economic development agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and commercial businesses. Our strategic growth planning model enables these leaders to get to what matters most to ensure profitable and productive growth by addressing the areas of strategy, business planning, fundraising and investment, and general management.

Change Management

From re-engineering the entire enterprise, to putting in place sound management practices and procedures, to executing public relations and media/government outreach programs to communicate change, we enable leaders to install new and better systems to meet customer needs and successfully respond to the demands of an ever-changing marketplace.

We know how to manage for success because we have personally led large and small organizations that have achieved high-level success and effectively changed the industries and communities we have served.
