I help Faith-driven business Leaders turn disruptive events into strategic transitions that create value and growth

Some kinds of changes are naturally disruptive:
  • Changes in ownership
  • Changes in leadership
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Major new funding
  • New business models
  • New market opportunities
Disruption isn't always bad. Strategic transitions are pivotal changes in a business that serve as an inflection point, unleashing new value and setting a new course for growth.
Strategy provides the grid that channels disruptive energy into positive change. But developing strategy requires focus, a commodity in short supply during times of disruptive change. And strategic planning requires a unique skillset.
I work with business leaders to quickly turn these events into wins. I do this by serving as your fractional, transitional strategy partner. You can focus on the operational and people issues inherent in these types of changes, while I efficiently work with you and your team on the key strategic decisions that will set the future direction for your business.
Let's talk about how to strategically manage your business through disruptive change, with an emphasis on both business and spiritual impact.

How Can I Help You?

My goal is to help you be successful in navigating disruptive change while uniting your team around important strategic decisions. I do this by playing three key roles:

Coaching

I meet with you regularly to clarify your objectives, identify the critical strategic decisions, and determine the best approach to making them. I also help you think through operational decisions and how they align with your strategy.

Fractional Executive

I serve as part of your leadership team through the period of disruptive change (typically 3 - 6 months). I work closely with your other leaders and direct the resources necessary to lead to the right strategic decisions.

Facilitator

I lead strategy workshops to jointly make the strategic decisions critical to turning a disruptive change into a strategic transition. By involving your key leaders, we gain critical insights and build consensus so the strategy will be adopted and implemented.
