Pareto Busting Workshop Series - 1st Quarter

Inequalities are a fact of life. Gold is not found everywhere, but if you know where to dig you can become rich. Pareto Busting is an exploration into the inequalities surrounding your business. Some customers are more profitable than others. Some products or services command higher margins. Some processes create value while others add little or no value. Some decisions and activities position you for market beating results while others cause you to lose your relevance in the marketplace. We will explore all these gold mines in Pareto Busting!

Strategy Busting Workshop Series - 3rd Quarter

Most small business owners spend very little time on strategic initiatives that change the game on their competitors or make them indispensable to their customers. More often than not the approach to strategy is to set incremental goals for increasing sales or reducing costs that don't change your value in the eyes of your prospects and customers.

Strategy Busting gives your leaders a high level view of your industry and the trends that are reshaping your marketplace.  We'll engage your team in exercises to expose the biggest game changing opportunities and to explore the most pertinent questions that apply to your unique situation.  The goal is to identify where your customers' needs are heading and (if you decide to) plot an intercept course that best puts you in position to profit from the change.

We give you a powerful process to review your core business and the best strategies to improve margins, sales, recurring revenue and profits.  We'll explore your business model and clarify why you are winning sales now and how you might win even more with a slight change in your approach.  This proven process produces the 1 or 2 initiatives that have the ability to transform your business and position yourself as the true innovator in your marketplace.

Leadership Busting Workshop Series - 4th Quarter

It has been said that culture eats strategy for lunch. I don’t know if that’s true, but it can sure chew up people! Creating a healthy, productive work environment can be difficult because we have lots of chefs in the kitchen all leading and managing from the play books they unconsciously picked up at home, from their country of origin, school and the military. Leadership Busting will help you create an internal process to build high performing teams.

Session 1 - Setting the Stage for High Performing Leaders and Teams - October 18
