  • Organization of projects, information needs and reporting mechanisms.
  • Create necessary policies and procedures.
  • Help recruit, hire and train personnel.
  • Set and maintain a course to realize your exit strategy.
  • Creation of advisory boards.

CEO Coaching

Business Strategy Group has many years' experience providing what has come to be known as "CEO Coaching," a confidential, one-on-one resource for high level managers who need an objective sounding board. CEO Coaching from Business Strategy Group provides:

  • Immediate, on call advice for the ambitious, high level executive, from someone with no personal or hidden agendas.
  • A supplement to, not a replacement for, the existing relationships between the Executive and other managers.
  • An opportunity to set obtainable goals within a realistic time frame, followed by regular one-on-one sessions (in person or by telephone) through which the executive and coach can measure progress, role play and strategize around obstacles.

Turnarounds

We can assist in the aggressive management of crisis situations, to help management
  • Contain costs and conserve cash.
  • Identify underutilized resources and capacities.
  • Determine core competencies and, if warranted, downsize.
  • Identify strategic partners.
  • Restructure debt and renegotiate payment terms.
  • Find alternative sources of financing.

Implementation

We are available on an as-needed basis to help implement your strategic plan. We can be your sounding board as your business grows, and we will revise and re-prioritize your plan to respond to a changed business climate, a new competitor, a new opportunity or other altered circumstances.
