Operations Consulting

If you are a business owner, an angel investor, or the manager of an M&A firm who needs to know as much as possible about a potential acquisition, I am your new best friend.  You know that financial statements are easily manipulated.  You need an experienced operations investigator in your pocket to point out gaps in process, safety, and organizational structure.  Before you invest, let me give your team another viewpoint and confirm the excellence you are hoping to profit from.  

Maybe you are just trying to get an unbiased opinion of your company's health. "Familiarity builds contempt" is a phrase that everyone is well, 'familiar' with, but often it gets lost in business when egos dictate possible paths to a resolution.  When your company is unable to solve a known problem, fresh eyes are often the best way to elicit a quick solution.  Even better, when you are looking for a competitive edge or "marginal gain" in your company, an outside opinion is the most efficient way to shake things up. 

• I have the advantage of 'seeing behind the curtain' in many types of industries. Additionally, I have a diverse set of life experiences that qualify me to offer you helpful and unique suggestions. Fresh eyes = fresh ideas.
• Larger companies have a more diverse workforce, however, they often do not think to inter-mix departments.  This leads to a huge loss of mutually beneficial knowledge.  Smaller companies often communicate more freely due to their size and nimbleness.   Unfortunately, they lack depth in their employee pool to pull in unique perspectives which leads to stale or even biased viewpoints.
• Many companies insist that their staff are already overworked.  That they cannot afford the time to be involved in synergized meetings to review individual problems.  This is a real statement, however, it is still short-sighted.  Let me make the connections and be your change agent.
