Consulting & Coaching Programs

• Strategic Vision Analysis to determine if it guides the company and empowers the work force or merely decorates the wall and takes up space in an employee handbook. Do you have a clear and compelling vision that is part of the corporate discussion or has that been lost in the windstorm? Does everyone knows their role in the vision and how they are measured by it? If not, we can help you develop that.
   
• Manufacturing/Service Analysis to evaluate your ability to turn over resources quickly and redeploy any asset whether capital, inventory or personnel from a non-functioning or low producing asset into a high functioning one. Sometimes lost profit can be turned around simply through repurposing a product, refocusing a service, redirecting an asset, etc. We will help you identify those opportunities. We also look for blockages to growth... Things like internal communication issues between departments, how knowledgeable the staff is with respect to their job function, what training they may need, how they can be tested and measured, etc.
   
• Administrative & Operational Analysis to evaluate the process equity, if any, you have established in your business. We look for where systemization (the utilization of proven processes and procedures to produce a known, predictable and reliable result) can be improved to increase the efficiency and productivity of your company. Our Lean Six Sigma Performance Management System can increase productivity alone by up to 25%!
   
• Team & Employee Analysis to identify the major pests robbing you and your team of efficiency and identifying practical strategies you can implement to immediately and substantially increase workforce productivity. You may also have employees on staff that are draining the life out of the rest of the team through negativity or poor work habits. In an economic hurricane you need every hand on deck and every one rowing in the same direction. We can help identify internal threats and help you deal with them appropriately, while mitigating the risk by establishing process equity.
   
• Base Analysis where we look to see where you, your business, your stage in life, the economy, the industry, your product mix, etc are in or out of sync, then make suggestions to maximize your return on effort by maximizing synchronization. Creative destruction happens not only to economies but to businesses, products, services, etc.
   
• Relationship Analysis where we help you identify potential mutualistic relationships that can significantly expand your business. Finding the right relationships to strengthen your market position is critical in turbulent times.
   
• Marketing Analysis where we evaluate the message your sales staff is communicating, how uniform and consistent it is, and more importantly, how effective it is. Are you using right brain communication techniques or only left brain linear methods? We can also evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing collateral.
• Security Analysis where we help you identify potential security threats. With identity theft and theft of proprietary information at record highs, we will help you find those areas that pose a potential loss. 

The investment for the Business Analysis depends on the number of days involved, and the scope of the analysis.

4. Project Work: Based on the findings from the Business Analysis, there may be specific projects to address. Typically this involves bringing an area of non-compliance into compliance. This may involve redefining and redeveloping any aspect of your business from standard operating procedures, setting up systems to helping your team develop a functioning vision statement and developing some strong marketing collateral. Essentially, this brings all the parts of the organization that were not functioning with the ease, efficiency and productivity you expect, up to speed. Fees depend on the size, scope and nature of the project.

Monthly Consulting Retainer: Sometimes the best solution is a period of walking out the implementation together over a period of months or even longer. This is usually determined after the Busienss Analysis has occurred and long term projects have been identified. This might be a marketing campaign, a corporate reorganization, a product development and launch, etc.
