Tom’s strategies are organic. They emerge out of a background of long experience in a variety of settings, and his understanding of your objectives. They aren’t imposed by a predetermined commitment to any overarching model or set of abstract principles. He acts as a sounding board, helping you clarify your goals and direction, and helping you achieve your objectives for your enterprise, maximizing the benefit to all involved.
So, what is your strategic vision, and how does it encompass everyone in your organization and affect your clientele? What are your goals? Are they well defined? Once they are, how do you get your people to buy into them? How does your team’s commitment to that strategic vision affect their day-to-day performance? Do you have the right strengths in the right places? Are roles and responsibilities clearly delineated, and how do you hold your team accountable?
How can you make your business more efficient? How clear are the lines of communication within your company? How do you mentor and nurture the talent in your organization? What means do they have of communicating ideas and concerns? How do you create value for your clients, your stakeholders, your employees? How do you get your team engaged with those clients?
How can you best position yourself to increase market share? Are there related lines of operation that you ought to consider? Should you grow organically, do an acquisition, or perhaps prepare for an exit? What is your succession plan? Can the business operate without you?
Tom can offer advice regarding any of these matters and more, but it all begins with a deep, immersive dive into your operations and your strategic vision. He’s not here to tell you what to do. He’s here to help you best articulate your strategic vision, to make it clear and communicable, and then to advise you how best to pursue it.
The long and the short of it is, Tom is here to listen.
