How are you different than other management
consultants?
We really are management coaches; we coach you through the entire
process of creating goals to increase the value of your company.
We help you establish a top level goal management team, we coach
you and your team in effective goal-making practices, and we
establish processes and systems that hold the GMT accountable
for attaining the goals. We make ourselves available to you
on an ongoing basis to respond to your needs at any time, while
also keeping you focused on the most important issues in your
firm, the Vital Few.
How often can I call on you?
Our arrangement allows you to call us at anytime. We are always
available to assist you.
Isn't this going to be even more work
for me?
Yes and no. In the initial stages of our engagement, we will
be coaching you to make changes that will be necessary for the
long-term prosperity of your business. You and the GMT will
need to focus on these new issues,
and this will require a commitment in time and attention. This
process, however, can move as fast as you desire, so your commitment
is the determinant of the time you will spend. In the longer
term, you will be building a company that is less dependent
upon your every action, and you will need to work less rather
than more.
Describe how we will work together.
We start by engaging you and the GMT in a strategic planning
session that
focuses on your vision for the firm (the company exists to serve
you, you
don't work to serve the company). Then we determine the goals
of the firm and the basic strategies for attaining these goals.
This information is the core of your business plan, which we
will help you create over the coming weeks. Then, we will work
will you on an ongong basis, coaching you and your GMT, to ensure
that these goals are attained. This ongoing engagement is the
real powerhouse of the process: we provide you with systems,
coaching, and our active involvement so that the GMT is constantly
focused on the attainment of the company goals.
Now, what the heck
am I going to do with my business?
(A question from an entrepreneur who wants to extricate
himself from a successful business, but sees many obstacles,
especially if family is involved.)
It will take GoalMakers
2 to 3 years of coaching to structure and groom your company
to market and sell or merge it for maximum value, and protect
the existing employees in the process.
