WE START fROM WHERE YOU ARE

Whether you're introducing a new strategy, new offerings, going after a new market, or creating  a new company -- 

our proven methodologies, tools and insights  can help you mitigate your  risk and accelerate your impact. Leveraging a proven process that starts with your customer, we help you rigorously connect the dots between strategy and execution. 

With a step-by-step framework, we help you  establish a clear and differentiated position in the marketplace. Your positioning is the foundation for building trust with your employees and partners as well as with  investors, supporters and those you serve.

We can then work with you to bring your positioning to life by helping you connect activities, roles and communication internally and externally to ensure you can deliver. Building a marketing strategy based upon a relevant and credible strategic position ensures faster market momentum. 

Driving impact in the world is a team sport.   Without ensuring people are prepared and motivated to take action, your new initiative  can get stalled. 

The most powerful tool you have

 to accelerate results is a clear message  that moves the right people to take action. 

We start by a thorough assessment of your stakeholders and ask: Who needs to take action with this new strategy? What's the implications if they don't?  What do they need to undersatnd, believe, know to be motivated to take the right action? 

From there, we can support you to  build a message framework that can then be leveraged into your communications, marketing  public relations plans,  front line enablement,  as well as conversations with employees, partners, clients,  funders, members and supporters.

We can also help you arm your leaders and  front line to confidently communicate your direction and create a call to action  that is aligned and  authentic.

For your new strategy or initiative to   achieve your mission, your must anticipate the impact of  risks  from two angles:  

• on those you serve, and
• on your business model.    

We help you systematically do both. 

Evaluating  risks associated with each element of your business model allows you to look at the  risks - and opportunities  - -holistically. It also helps create a common vocabulary for cross-functional teams.

Anticipating your audience's experience once the new strategy is implemented will  help you  identify the potential "potholes" down the road,  and any gaps or opportunities to address them up front. 

This systematic approach ensures you arm your front line with the information and tools  and skills they need to overome  challenges, and be prepared for  risks and opportunities that may come your way.

“Building a visionary organization requires one percent vision and 99 percent alignment.”  Collins and Porras, 

Built to Last

Even great strategies can fail when conceived in the corner office and disconnected from the rest of the organization. 

We  work with you and your management team to uncover areas where you may not be aligned, and evaluate the risks and implications on your outcomes. 

We then help you build and implement a plan to ensure your entire organization - as well as your partners -understand the strategy and their roles in in it. 

Our De-Risk System Management and Stewardship Support  helps you regularly review risks, and proactively prepare and sustain your alignment so your team can execute in unison.

Whether you are a CEO or Executive Director, a GM, board member,  investor or donor,  you want to see a path to impact.  

However, the risks of go-to-market for new strategies and initiatives are often poorly managed. This can be come especially tricky when success relies on different organizations coming together to execute. 

Inconsistent assumptions and vocabulary,  lack of clarity or even lack of trust, can all lead to costly confusion,  delays,  and missed revenue targets. It can also result in frustration and disappointment for everyone involved.

Our   De-Risk System for Impact ℠  program for Partnerships, Mergers and Acquisitons helps you to joinly  identify the critical success factors for 

your new initiative, and keeps them front and center. Our risk mitigation review process monitors current and new risks, and positions your team  to be aligned to execute and able to make early course corrections. 

The result is  transparency and trust building for successful execution, improved return on investment, and ethical and sustainable solutions for your employees, partners and the community you serve.
