Fully Leverage Your Strategic Planning Efforts

Escape the endless churn of reactive and defensive maneuvering. Together we can write a strategic plan for your organization and operationalize the delivery of that plan. Casting a 3-year vision isn’t a one-step exercise, it’s a discipline that your organization can learn. You don’t just say you will run an ultramarathon and do it without putting in the work. Learn how we can apply that same mindset to keep your team aligned on the long-term goals and empowered to make smart, dynamic short-term decisions along the way.

Build Sustained Capacity in your Organization

Cultivate wins for your organization by drawing on our specific expertise in the fields of sustainability, supply chain, and non-profit leadership. While we have built retail supply chain workflows that have saved companies hundreds of millions of dollars in wasteful spending, we’re also happy to help your startup engineering team of two relearn the trade in the age of AI. Whatever the current scale, let’s find your next big thing together. And sure, it can include AI and we’ve got chops there, but sustainable wins will continue to be human-powered (as is this website). We’re excited to empower you and your team to be the changemakers.

  • “Kevin gave us the note that reshaped our pitch: we were explaining how our product worked and skipping why it mattered. He sees the whole system - from the customers to incentives to the price someone will actually pay - and his push helped us think through our market position at an early stage in our growth. We are very grateful for his sage advice!"

    Founder, Climate Risk Insurance

  • “We were stuck in a planning rut, mostly not planning, then reacting to the unexpected with a panicked planning effort. Kevin helped us find a better approach by incorporating short- and long-term planning into our annual cycle, making planning a part of our ongoing efforts. We’re still working on it, but Kevin’s insights and guidance turned our thinking around and pointed us in a much more intentional and productive direction, and know the resulting plan will be so much better.’’
