"Thank you very much Harry.  I often mention you as the person that gave us an executive "kick in the butt" wake up call to start working ON our business instead of IN our business.  We still have a long way to go, but at least we recognize the need for higher level planning to chart a course and execute the plans to get there."
- Norman Rodrigues, President, Springfield Spring


We focus on what is best for our clients...

First we seek to understand:

  • Your issues and objectives.  We meet with you to understand what you see as your major issues, challenges and objectives with your business.
  • Your business environment.  We like to interview each manager in the business, do a complete financial analysis and conduct an employee survey of attitudes.

We help prioritize:

  • By impact on the business.  We try to help find the one or two things that will have the largest impact on the business.
  • By difficulty.  This helps to understand what is going to be involved in each task in order to implement a solution.

Then we help implement:

  • Getting it done.  We have the experience and knowledge to put the changes into action in your organization.  Since we have experience in business, we know what it takes to put ideas into action.
  • Details, details, details.  We are very hands-on and get into the details.  We do not just give you general, generic advice, but we work to provide very specific actionable advice.
  • Transfer skills.  We work with our clients to transfer the skills to the organization.  This may be in the form of coaching, improved strategies or improved systems.  There is no point in getting things fixed while the consultant is around, then have them break down later.  The key is to make sustainable change to the organization.

Some consultants give the consulting profession a bad name.  It is no wonder that small business people are skeptical of consultants.  We focus on providing value for you.  If we can't help, we will say so.  If we can, we provide solid, actionable advice, not theoretical mumbo-jumbo.  We focus on helping you to get the results you need in a timely and cost effective manner.
