Consulting & Strategy
Every organization reaches a point where it has to reinvent how it grows.
When more effort stops producing more results, the answer is a clearer strategy and a business aligned to carry it.
Start the ConversationAs I tell every owner
The path is the math.
The approach
We start from the economics and work backward.
I bring the kind of strategic planning larger organizations rely on and scale it for leaders ready for their next stage. We start from the economics and work backward: the profit you want, the production it takes, the people and leverage required, and the strategy that connects them. As I tell every owner I work with, the path is the math.
It starts with an honest read on the numbers and ends with a plan your team can execute and measure.
- 01ProfitThe profit you want.
- 02ProductionThe production it takes.
- 03People and leverageThe people and leverage required.
- 04StrategyThe strategy that connects them.
What we work on.
Economics and planning
Working backward from the profit you want to the production, headcount and leverage it takes, so the plan rests on real numbers.
Org chart to the math
Drawing the organization you need at the end of next year, putting the numbers on it, then hiring in the right order: the math, the role, then the person.
Leverage and AI
Sorting the work into what people, systems and AI should carry. Before you put another human in the mix, see what you can fix first.
Systems that hold
Building out what you keep explaining by hand. If you are retelling it every time, it is not built out yet.
How engagements work.
Planning engagement
Most engagements begin with a focused planning engagement and a clear plan.
Ongoing advisory
Some continue as ongoing advisory while the plan is put to work.
Full-team implementation
When a business needs hands-on implementation across a full team, I bring in Chief Collective, the executive coaching and business strategy firm I co-founded.
“We came to Melissa and Kristen when we didn't know what the next step was in our business to continue to grow. They were very helpful and knowledgeable! We would highly recommend!”
“They listen, they advise for my best interests and they execute their talents at the highest levels.”
