Key Philosophies
Look at the whole picture
A holistic perspective that creates an opportunity for you to set the priorities and identify blind spots, for you as the owner and your business, not specialized focus that prioritizes one aspect of your needs.
No self-serving projects
Get to the solution as efficiently as possible with the minimum amount of effort, not project based work that takes on a life of its own and loses sight of the objective.
No ego or judgment
Leadership support that meets you where you are at on your entrepreneurial journey, no judgement or grandstanding with your team; you are the leader of your vision.
Only what you need
Creating value with engagement appropriate for your goals that is not a minute longer than needed. Periodic assessment, transparency and no ego are the rule, not locked in contracts or retainers.
Protect the owner's time
Internal leadership, systems and external resources are the items we can leverage while minimizing expenses and just as important - reduce the business owner’s ongoing direct engagement working in the business.
About Partner-Ally
Purpose
Results and working systems are the outcomes of an intentional, efficient and value driven process, not self-serving projects or maximizing billed hours. I am committed to being a partner in the process; collaborative and respectful of your vision. Together we can develop sustainable solutions that can realistically be implemented by your team.
Approach
The first step is a discussion free from any fees or obligation. Shared expectations and a proposed scope proceed the start of any formal relationship. Initial steps will include an assessment of what your business already has covered and current priorities. Buildout of necessary resources incorporates your vision and leadership team.
Deliverable
There is alignment of supporting initiatives, resources and management with your strategic plan. Your business is rooted in process-based systems, directed by a leadership team with shared expectations. As the business owner, you are not required for day-to-day operations and have a foundation for growth.
