The work.
We work with executives and consultants who have mastered their craft and are ready to put their own stamp on it. Talent and effort got you this far. What comes next takes structure, so you can spend your time doing the work only you can do.
Getting Leverage
Establish where your capacity is actually going and what structure is missing.
We examine how decisions reach you, which ones genuinely require you, and what your calendar says about your priorities versus what’s critically important to you.
Some clients stop here, because they have enough to act on. That’s a successful engagement.
Retained Advisory
A recurring arrangement for those who want a sounding board while they execute.
This isn’t added overflow capacity; it’s for those high-stakes moments: the board presentation you need to rehearse, the role-play before a conversation with your largest customer, a transition to the C-suite, the person you’re about to promote or let go.
We’ll work together on a regular schedule, and be available on demand for the moments that warrant it.
Operating Design
This is the work of building a structure that serves your goals.
We’ll explore key decisions so that fewer things need you, identify where capability is missing, develop a delegation structure that expands your ability to get things done, and put a plan in place to fill the gaps.
Operating design changes your calendar. It takes some effort, but it’s the reason the plan can work.
Referrals
Sometimes what’s needed isn’t advice, it’s extra hands, like a project manager, a recruiter, an integrator, a specific vendor, or a staffing partner.
When appropriate, we’ll point you to people and businesses we’ve actually worked with. Over many years of selecting vendors and building teams, we’ve amassed a useful list of professionals in multiple service areas.
Referrals help you gain a foothold as you grow your business without the burden of payroll.
Rob Berg, MS, CEC
The advisor.
I learned leverage the only way available to me: I had no budget.
I was asked to build a technology consulting practice inside a firm that had never had one — no team, no headcount, and real resistance to the idea. So I hired artisans and built the house one room at a time.
Grew it from nothing to nearly $20 million at better than 20% net margins
Won the firm’s first seven-figure engagements
Built one client relationship that generated more than $25 million
Advised executives on vendor selection, team building, and how work moves through an organization efficiently, effectively, and with agility
Before that, was CEO of one technology company and COO of another
I’ve also written two books, The Courageous Consultant and The Consultant’s AI Companion, have an MS in Leadership and Management, and hold ICF ACC and Certified Executive Coach credentials.
I’m also a nature photographer, which is the one thing I do where no one demands a result. Finding this outlet is part of the work, not a break from it. The pursuit doesn’t have to use a camera, but it does have to be something that lets you breathe.
