Why Us?
We have worked closely with top business, government, and non-profit leaders of critical organizations in producing critical mission breakthroughs, building engaged cultures, and generating billions of dollars in improvements.
Few have the breadth and in-depth top-level experience and results we do in successfully orchestrating, leading, and supporting strategy, execution, and organizational improvement - in critical organizations.
We have worked in executive roles in large consulting firms and are different. Most of these consultancies have grown and maintained their status through prestige, branding, and long-time client relationships. This form of aristocracy is truly unfortunate. Our goal is not to come up with recommendations, develop and present slick presentations, and then walk away.
We care deeply about the role of government, have a strong track record, and roll up our sleeves and work shoulder to shoulder in pushing the flywheel with leaders and their teams until mission breakthroughs are achieved.
We are passionate about strategy, execution, and improvement. We published a popular website on the topic. We served on the Board of Directors for the Association of Strategic Planning helping to promote and strengthen the field. Additionally, we chaired and led World Strategy Week for two years. We brought together thought leaders to discuss critical forces changing global economies. These included top government advisors (e.g., U.K. Prime Minister, U.S. White House), scholars from top universities, best-selling authors, and top executives.

Based on its trajectory, the future didn't look bright. Continue reading...
A company had been generating over $528 million in annual revenue. It purchased several businesses, trusting that diversification would reduce risks and create new opportunities.
