Create actionable growth plans that keep you and your team focused
One thing is clear in running an entrepreneurial mid-market business of any size—your business needs a vision, plan, and goals to get your team focused, aligned, and accountable. Sound difficult and too "big company" for a fast-growing privately owned company? It doesn't need to be.
Your planning process should be lean enough to be effective but robust enough to result in a solid finished product, an execution-ready plan that your teams can start executing. Having worked with dozens of businesses and developed hundreds of plans for them over the years, we have a methodology of tailoring that plan to your needs. From a simple one-page format to more detailed presentations, we collaborate to choose the format that works best.

Where to begin—How to keep going
It starts with the senior team setting revenue and profit targets, establishing a handful of priorities for the coming year. These priorities are further broken down into specific quarterly and monthly goals—getting everyone in the company moving in the same direction, driving the plan’s execution and specific tactical goals. Finally, we help you establish a regular meeting rhythm to track progress and adapt new changes due to market conditions and opportunities.
Asking the right questions
A key focus of our planning is on the business owner and CEO: What are your long-term objectives in your personal life? How do you effectively delegate your role of working in the business to working on the business? What is the long-range growth needed to achieve your vision? Consider your eventual exit plan: Will you transition the business to the next generation of your family? Promote senior team members to a more strategic role, eventually becoming owners? Sell to a third-party individual owner or merge/sell to another company?
