After that, we provide a roadmap for filling those gaps effectively, approaching any challenge, and seizing every business opportunity.

Sales
Acceleration
Sales Acceleration
What This Means
Sales are the lifeblood of a business. However, when their growth stagnates, it is usually hard to tell if it’s because of poor product/market fit, poor strategy, or poor execution. We help you understand what is holding back your sales and what you need to re-invigorate growth.
What We Do
Through a review of your satisfied clients, we help you clarify the optimal market fit for your offer and enhance the discipline and processes of the current sales efforts to support that strategy. We can identify, interview, and recruit qualified sales talent and even help you improve the compensation plan.
The Result
You will be able to understand what moves your target audience and what affects your business sales. We will help you anticipate any issue, take quick action to fix your strategy, and optimize the processes to increase sales.

Values Aligned
Strategy
Values Aligned Strategy
What This Means
Strategies that feel right motivate participation and get accomplished. That’s because plans that align with your organizational values and are clearly defined in steps or phases seem more realistic and more energizing.
What We Do
We build off our business assessment to leverage a clear view of the opportunities and threats facing your business. We link that with the core values of your organization and combine all of that with a view of the right roles and responsibilities to achieve the visions. Then we help you set realistic and purposeful goals and provide clear decision-making guidelines. When everyone moves towards the same vision, shares a sense of ownership and accountability, and has the freedom to experiment, they’ll do their best to ensure that every goal is met.
The Result
You and the team will have a clear, actionable, and energizing plan that aligns with the values of you and the team. If you’re having an off-site planning session or an interim strategy check-in, leveraging us will facilitate your planning initiatives. We will help you connect your organization’s goals with the most viable future reality.

Team Chartering
What This Means
High-functioning teams have the right mix of expertise, empathy, motivation, and organizational wisdom. They also share a clear vision of what they are doing and why they are doing it.
What We Do
We subscribe to the brilliant research of Harvard scholars Ruth Wageman and Richard Hackman that defines the 6 essential conditions of a successful team.
These are:
- Real team.
- Right people.
- Compelling purpose.
- Sound structure.
- Supportive context.
- Team coaching.
By considering each of these factors, we can identify parts of the team that need additional support and provide the tools they need to succeed.
The Result
Rooted in these ideal practices and shared commitment, we unlock your team’s ability to collaborate effectively, fail fast, learn quickly, get results, and be happy. By amplifying individuals and investing in teams, we ensure that everybody knows their value within the organization.
