SERVICES

Business circumstances can change quickly.  Revenue growth goals, innovation targets, acquisitions, new systems, competitive threats, and customer demands can bring about the need to rethink what's being done.  Sometimes a fresh set of eyes and another pair of hands can make all the difference.  I help companies in three main areas:

Growing sales...

  • Brand extension into new categories.
  • Distribution channel strategy and development. 
  • Global geographic expansion and entry into new countries. 
  • Improving consumption through end-user, customer, and marketing strategies.
  • New category and market entry. 
  • Partnering with leadership teams to plot comprehensive corporate strategy. 
  • Product line extension into adjacent segments. 

Improving Profitability & Effectiveness...

  • Aligning organizational assets and people in support of a unified strategy with the necessary communication, prioritization, and clarity in execution plans.  
  • Fractional leadership: CEO, COO, GM, Managing Director
  • Partnering with leadership teams to plot new corporate strategy in light of market opportunities, organizational capabilities, and success requirements. 
  • Optimizing acquisition initiatives via upfront vetting, forward planning, and integration.
  • Working alongside leaders to develop engaging strategy roll out plans that help ensure employee understanding and engagement.   

Scaling Up...

  • Needs assessment
  • Long-term planning
  • Prioritization
  • Outsource / Rent / Hire decisions

I've also worked with other experts in accounting, corporate banking, finance, innovation, investment banking, market research, organizational development, private equity, recruitment, and sales. Depending on your needs, I can put together the right team to help.  Even if you are already engaged in a strategy process, there's a good chance that I can help improve the long-term outcomes. Each situation is different. Let's talk about your organization and needs.  Get in touch here.
