Our Consulting Practice Areas
Strategy to Execution
Only 1 in 4 companies run a disciplined strategic planning process. Fewer than 1 in 10 connect those strategic plans to initiatives that actually get done.
Great plans do not always translate to effective execution. You have great ideas and instincts. Our S5 Navigator™ strategic planning framework helps you turn those ideas into winning strategies with executable plans your team will be excited to deploy and motivated to accomplish.
Get your strategy out of the conference room and into your day-to-day operations.
Sustainable Growth
Over half of all companies miss their growth targets.
Some have set unrealistic targets. Others have lackluster sales execution, weak go-to-market discipline, off-the-mark pricing, or several other sales, marketing, or strategy gaps we identify and solve.
If you sell a product or service, we can help you generate more profit with our S5 Commercial Toolkit, including the proven P5 Selling EcoSystem™.
Take growth out of the hands of those few over-performers and into a system built to deliver consistently across the enterprise.
Talent Readiness
Less than 25% of companies believe their leadership team is fully prepared for what’s ahead.
We help management, investors and boards solve for the leadership talent gaps that exist in all but a few companies.
From our O-T-A-R™ organizational talent assessment & road-mapping tool, to our FORGE™ coaching & development framework, to the BenchBuilt™ succession planning framework, our experience, tools and processes will ensure your talent is prepared for what's ahead... both planned and unplanned.
Take leadership development to another level, one that's built for what's ahead and not trying to catch up to where you are now.
Operational Excellence
Only 30% of companies consistently hit delivery, quality, and cost targets at the same time.
Missing, incomplete, or poorly executed operating systems are common even in successful companies. If your operation has challenges, our S5 DRIVE™ Management Operating System will help you optimize, eliminate waste, improve margins, and turn operational chaos into confident performance.
Run your operation in a way that satisfies customers, employees, and your financial stakeholders.
M&A Preparedness
70–90% of transactions miss value creation expectations due to culture, leadership, and execution gaps.
Most deals don’t fail due to poor diligence — they fail during integration. Our DealReady™ set of tools & processes will ensure you are well prepared and able to fully execute on your current and future transactions.
Take your deals from a "hard work & common sense" approach, and into a program built for reliable results.
