Business Consulting

---

As a Business Consultant, we work with our clients on strategy, planning and problem solving, and we help clients develop business skills and knowledge. These topics range from designing a business model or marketing plan, to determining which marketing techniques to use and how to use them. We often help clients learn how to plan and implement projects. As a business consultant, we give advice, teach skills, and brainstorm with our clients to produce practical results and enhance strategic thinking.

As a Business Coach, we help clients to create success by focusing on personal development: time management, self-sabotaging behavior (like procrastination and distraction), finding clarity, decision making, and getting into action. When on put on our coaching hat, we don't give advice. Instead, we help the client find the answers from within themselves.

It's true: Customers almost never approach me and ask for straight coaching. They ask for consulting. They ask for practical advice and brainstorming. In the search to find solutions and to map out a strategy, a small business owner will stumble unless they do both the personal development work and the business development work that leads to success.

· Cost Management. Eliminate ineffective, nonessential spending, and redirect the savings to the investments that will power your growth. Whether you need a sustained cost transformation effort, want to explore the substantial advantages of re-budgeting, or need to accelerate a transformation to quickly achieve cash, cost, capital or revenue benefits, we can help. We can also work with you to drive down costs (and boost revenue) by tackling complexity so that you can devote more focus to customer needs. We also offer book keeping for your business.

· Change Management. Structure, orchestrate and enable the change your organization needs to make, by focusing on the coaching and capability building that are essential to winning buy-in and making change stick.  We work with you on every facet of this change approach, and support these efforts to help you track, and accelerate, every facet of your change initiatives. Reenergize a transformation effort by tackling the single biggest reason transformation stall: lack of energy. We help you renew your commitment to the goal and rekindle excitement throughout the organization. We also help you address the behavioral issues that often hamper any type of change initiative. Organize for success in sustainability, by addressing change management challenges and other potential barriers to results. Only 2% of companies achieve their sustainability goals. We can help you achieve and maintain your goals by working with you on operating models and governance, impact metrics and incentives, leadership alignment and support, and creating a strong case for change.

· Performance Improvement, Corporate Support. Raise the bar for your support functions, from a focus on efficiency to adding value. Transform all of your departments and other functions into valued business partners that work together to provide a competitive advantage. If some of these functions are, or should be, centralized as shared services, we can help you maximize the speed, efficiency and quality of the work.

· Organization. Build a bridge from strategy to result, by assessing your current operating model and determine how to effectively implement a strategic realignment, cost reduction program, or seize any number of other opportunities. In situations where a fresh start is called for we can help you simplify your organization, streamline work processes, advance your strategy and unlock massive savings. Make and execute decisions faster than your competitors, by assessing and developing your decision effectiveness. Decision made, we help you execute it quickly and successfully. Define your long-term talent needs and develop a strategy for meeting them, supported by the systems you need to recruit, retain and develop the people your company depends on. We also help you maximize your talent strategy by showing you how to build the kind of culture that inspires optimum performance.
