Services for Operational Success

See why we recommend consulting before implementation.

Consulting

Operations consulting lets us learn about your business goals and what’s standing in the way. From our conversation, we’ll provide a clear list of priority activities to focus on.

This is for small business owners wanting to know how to grow their companies and get out of the day-to-day holding them back.

Consulting can be conducted as part of a suite of services or on its own if you choose to implement the work yourself.

Here’s why you need a dedicated project manager – even for two hours a week.

Implementation

This done-for-you service is where the rubber meets the road. Unlike most consulting firms, we actually DO what we recommend. Implementation could involve:

• writing processes
• creating software automation
• setting up templates or checklists
• implementing software tools
• training your team
• owner accountability sessions
• coaching on how to DIY
• managing projects with your client and your team
• and much more

Whatever the work, we are definitely more than “just” project managers. Over time, your consultant can become a trusted partner — someone to listen and advise on many areas of your business.

How Consulting & Implementation Works

Diagnose

In a 45-minute phone call, we’ll determine where you’re at on your business operations path and where you want to go. From there, we advise you on the best path forward. This step is free. Get started by scheduling a 45-minute meeting with our Chaos Eradicating Officer, Susan Fennema, or fill out the form below.

Discover

This stage takes about 4 to 5 weeks and is a flat fee. However, in some cases, depending on your goals and your situation, we might skip Discover altogether and go straight to Implement. Discover consists of:

• A 1-hour kickoff call to walk through your custom roadmap with your consultant and make any adjustments needed.
• Then, 4 weekly meetings are held to progress through your roadmap together.
• Between meetings, we review the tools and processes you’re currently using for your operations and provide advice for how – or if – those should be changed. You might also have a little homework.
• We identify quick wins in your current process and tools to get immediate relief in some areas.
• Lastly, you’ll get a detailed implementation plan in priority order, with estimated hours to do it.

Implement

This stage is purchased as a bank of pre-paid hours or as a flat fee depending on the plan created for you. There is no obligation to Implement after Discover or to continue to refill the hourly bank. However, we find that once you start using our Implement services, you’ll be addicted to the results!
