The extra help you need to take your business to the next level.

Helping businesses grow with our services:

Strategy

We have our own proprietary programs:

With 3 main and indispensable building blocks – Analysis, Strategy, and Action – the Strategy4Action Framework is a step-by-step guide to define or fine-tune your company’s Strategy and put it in Action. Our services comprise coordinating this process for you (or any part of it you might need). We will leave you with a great detailed Action Plan that will give you confidence your Strategy will be set in motion.

PTYS is a simpler program and it’s meant for companies that already have a good idea of what they want to do and the general path they should take but need help in putting those ideas into a Strategic Plan including Financial Projections.

Choosing Strategically will tell you what are the Strategic CHOICES you must consider to have a Strategy and how to make Strategic decisions that make a difference. I can also personally come in to facilitate these decision choices.

Strategy Training

Do you have a good team? With good people? Make them even better! Teach them Strategy! They will start looking at everything they do with a strategic eye and act strategically EVERYDAY. I will personally teach your team about Strategy and how to think and act strategically. It’s about a 15 hour program.

M&A

These are usually processes that are disruptive to a company and consume a lot of internal resources. Make it easier on yourself and get some help for any or all the steps of the process: Defining the business case, finding targets or buyers, doing due diligence and/or setting up data room, negotiations, contract drafting (NDA, Letters of Intent, Purchase and Sale Agreements, Shareholders’ Agreement, etc.), completion, Stabilization, Integration, and performance evaluation.
