Why Work With Us

W. Edward Deming once said, “The knowledge needed to transform a system must come from outside the system.”

Besides the wisdom of Deming, here are several good reasons our clients have told us:

1. We can help your organization plan and execute major initiatives, programs and projects and make things happen.
2. We bring real-world, cross-functional matrix management experience in leading difficult change management initiatives.
3. We bring an outsider’s viewpoint that is objective, impartial and unaffected by the organization’s politics.
4. We impart knowledge of our processes and skills to your organization based on years of management experience and teaching at Stanford University in the Stanford Center for Professional Development.
5. We bring a coherent strategy management process model adapted from our Harvard Business School Press book, Executing Your Strategy, and years of leadership experience.
6. We assess the current reality of your organization’s alignment holistically through the Strategy Execution Framework and therefore come up with the most pertinent issues and questions for your management team to resolve.
7. We are passionate about what we do and our facilitation skills are first class!
