Our Philosophies
The way we work is just as important as the work we do.
Business + Organization
Business & Organization should grow in tandem like a tree and its roots. A business that outgrows its organization collapses the same way that an organization that outpaces its business pulls resources that impede proper growth. Bringing in a strategic outsider balanced in both allows you to get a holistic view and see the gaps and opportunities to successful, steady growth in both your business and organization.
Alignment + Clarity
A boat’s oars need to row in the same direction. Everything should be pointed towards your goals. Together, we can craft a strategic roadmap that integrates all verticals of your organization. Alignment across your business units drives better, faster, and more successful action. Clarity drives higher engagement, retention, and productivity– the three vital heuristics to successful employee performance and experience
People + Systems
People and systems are puzzles and we utilize the same methodologies with each of them. We seek to understand. We dig to find the kernels of what’s happening and understand the context they exist in. Having that holistic viewpoint also allows us to find the right solution at every turn— whether it’s a person, process, system, or a pivot.
Big Swings Require Follow-through
New, untested, and innovative ideas require the most attention, iteration, and guidance to succeed. Bringing in an operations and executional mindset to partner with ensures that sh*t gets done.
Coaching through Chaos
Your business is transforming. It requires the same kind of self-reflection that a person does in entering a new phase of their life. We use a doctor to check up our physical health and a therapist to check in on our mental and emotional– why wouldn’t your business get the same kind of care? Bringing in someone at your inflection point gives you the perspective of an outside expert to take stock of where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Burning the Playbook
Majority of consulting firms out there have a playbook that they work from. They assume all businesses are alike. We know that’s not the case. Every organization is made of up different people with different internal dynamics. Your business has a unique customer base with their own needs– otherwise it wouldn’t exist. Our partnership will be just as unique: completely custom and molded to you.
