STRATEGY
Strategic Planning - Strategy is the foundation of your organization. It's the long-term guidance that ensures success despite the inevitable ups and downs of economic cycles. We work with you to establish your mission and vision, analyze the market, survey stakeholders, analyze your internal capabilities, and develop the strategies, objectives, and action plans to achieve your goals.
Business Plans - The business plan is your operational plan. How will your business organize, operate, and make money? We detail your current operations, identify gaps, develop business models, forecast financials, and produce a professional business plan that meets Small Business Administration (SBA) criteria as well as investor and lender needs.
Market Analysis - Successful organizations have a deep understanding of the markets in which they operate: size, segments, growth, trends, customers, and competitors. Whether at the national level or local level, we have access to industry databases and tools to perform this research for you, providing market profiles tailored to your needs.
Business Valuation - Estimating the fair market value of a business or asset is not as easy as it sounds. We use industry-standard financial methods to determine income, market, and asset-based values which are blended to provide a valuation that is legally and financially sound. We also assist with other steps in the M&A process including CIM books, due diligence, negotiation, and integration.

management
Project Management – We provide formal project management training consistent with the Project Management Institute (PMI)® framework. Learn how to establish a project plan, work breakdown structure, and cost and schedule baselines. Use earned value management to quantify progress, change management to control scope, and risk management to mitigate risks. Dr. Reed is a PMI-certified Authorized Training Partner (ATP) instructor and all courses issue Professional Development Units (PDUs).
Business Development – We identify, qualify, pursue, and propose new business opportunities on behalf of our clients using our domain knowledge, professional network, and tools such as Deltek's GovWin. We also provide training on the Sales and BD process, from lead generation to proposal development, using modern CRM tools and principles of pipeline management, gate reviews, conversion metrics, win/loss analysis, and continuous improvement.
Leadership Development – As organizations grow, leadership skills become critical. Our Leadership Development Program (LDP) takes your leadership team through a balanced program of the theory and practice of leadership. Validated survey instruments such as the CliftonStrengths and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) are used to assess each leader's strengths and development opportunities. Classroom sessions are combined with one-on-one coaching to provide time to exercise new skills and receive feedback.
Talent Management - We help organizations recruit and retain top talent using modern tools like JazzHR. We write compelling job descriptions, post job openings, and identify and screen candidates on your behalf. We determine competitive salary ranges based on benchmarking data and salary surveys. Once hired, we help you manage talent with high performance work practices like management by objectives, 360-degree review, and performance appraisal systems.
