We have defined five different types of services that we provide through a three-phase process called the Value Acceleration Methodology.

The result is a comprehensive report reviewed in a 2-hour workshop that identifies key risks and growth opportunities to be addressed.
Key questions answered include:
The Readiness Assessment is revisited regularly throughout the Value Acceleration process.
The goal of the Roadmap Development service is to create an action plan for closing the value, profit, values, and wealth gaps identified in the Discover Phase and for preparing the business and the owner for his eventual exit.
The action plan will be in the form of a prioritized list of business initiatives to be pursued in the Prepare Phase.

The action plan is developed through a series of workshops with the leaders of the business to answer critical questions:
The Prepare Phase is the heart of the Value Acceleration Methodology. It begins with the action plan identified in Roadmap Development. Through a series of 90-day Value Acceleration sprints, the prioritized opportunities are pursued, increasing the value, profitability, values alignment, and readiness of the business and its owner(s).
