Strategy, Technology & Process Consulting

High impact, rapid result guidance, enabled by methodologies designed specifically for small to midsize enterprises (SMEs)

Strategy

Dominate the Marketplace

 

We size and analyze your current (and future / desired) markets.  From there, we segment and monetize your customer segments, clarify segment attributes and prioritize each group by fit, profitability and valuation.

 

From there we determine the business model, create a powerful, detailed go-to-market strategy (including necessary pursuit initiatives) to capture and gain more share within those desired markets.

 

All of our strategy engagements result in quantitative analysis, which allows for objective, factual discussions free of bias, assumptions, market fables, anecdotes and field rep fairy tales.

 

Develop your strategy in a matter of days.  Roll them out in a matter of weeks.  For SMEs, we work wonders and we do so very quickly.

 

Technology

Achieve Your Future State

 

Obtain an objective and actionable assessment.  Know where your technologies have gaps, then scope, size and prioritize improvement opportunities. Rate your current technologies, people and infrastructure using a highly effective 'peer and industry' maturity model.

 

Our ERP services are second to none.  From current state assessments and requirements gathering, from fully independent system selections to managing implementations, no one is better in advising SMEs on enteprise systems.  Our secret sauce comes from partnering with and utilizing the world's only ERP-centric PM tool: ImplementSME.io. 

 

With our exclusive Enterprise Architecture methodology, we actually produce enterprise transformation.  All of our technology services map to enterprise strategies and optimize core business processes.

 

Process

Be that Best-in-Class Enterprise

 

Why be a follower?  Set the benchmark and let others follow you.

 

First, know which improvements are imperative for your organization.  Focus on improvements that grow market share, increase gross margins, EBITDA.. something impactful.  Don't optimize a process that will mean nothing to your P&L.

 

Second, determine which optimizations are process optimizations, technology improvements or a blend.  Use Enterprise Architecture to identify the root cause, solution and impact.

 

Third, develop a cost-benefit model that will serve as the basis to measure potential improvements.  Let's sort, quantify, prioritize and then 'do.'  And as Enterprise Architects, not just process consultants, no one integrates system and process improvement opportunities as well as we do.

 

About Us

We are passionate, successful and highly effective advisors.  Our findings and recommendations are based on facts, conviction and confidence.  What we disdain: watered down, diluted verbiage such as "you have many options, perhaps pursuing option one is best due to what may be the optimal balance of..."

Our version: "Pursue option one, we generated and carefully scrutinized your top five options and option one is best for these specific reasons.  Only if you cannot pursue option one, consider option four for these reasons."

 

In other words, there is one best way and we will work with you to find it.  And we won't use words like, "perhaps" or "maybe" that essentially leave you where you started.

 

Our consultants average more than 28 years of experience and are recognized leaders in their space.  That's why and how we deliver the highest level of consulting.

Methodologies

Our carefully crafted, highly refined methodologies are specific to your company (size, industry, operating model and growth stage).  This means you will benefit from frameworks, models, tools and expertise that does not require a 'translation effort' following our contributions.

 

We use the word 'contributions' because they are just that, we contribute to your business immediately (within four weeks or less).  We offer service level guarantees that mean you don't pay if you don't benefit.

 

Our strategists get you market share.  Our technologist deliver that 'future state.'  And our process team finds and implements the most optimized process environment in your space.
