Celebrating 36 years of Client Service and Value

We work exclusively with closely held businesses and community-based not-for-profit organizations facilitating progress in the following areas:

Organizations and their owners go through phases of growth and transition repeatedly over their lifetimes. Goals and objectives evolve; customers, markets, and technologies change. It’s not unusual for even the best organizations to lose focus. We assist them in building vision, focus, clarity, and consensus, achieving new levels of business and personal performance as a result. We are skilled in the following areas, among others:

Strategic Planning and Implementation
Values and Ethics
Owner’s Planning
Executive Coaching
Organizational Assessment
Team Dynamics

The long-term sustainability of our clients is important to us. Too frequently, we see gaps between market opportunity and revenue generation and/or visibility into costs and overhead. Either or both will drain an organization of its vitality and ability to compete. Our goal is to help clients build sales and marketing skills and common-sense budgets and controls. We are skilled in the following areas, among others:

Consultative Selling
Network Development
Customer and Employee Surveys
Budget Building
Team Management

An organization’s people are its greatest asset, but sometimes its greatest frustration. Growth and evolution can dilute the original vigor if good teamwork is not encouraged and nourished. Being able to read the culture and keep it positive and enthusiastic are key to ongoing success. We are skilled in the following areas, among others:

Organization and Team Assessment
Alignment and Focus on Common Goals
Leadership and Communication
Attracting & Retaining the Best Talent
Pre/Post Employment Assessment Systems
Management Development
