How Can I
Help You?
Well, what if I told you that working with me would be transformational. That your good company and good people will become continually better with no limits on the potential for success. But I will not transform your company. You will. Here is how I help you.
I’ll bring my 30+ years of experience as an entrepreneur to your business. I’ll show you how to look into your company’s DNA to see what makes it good and what will make it better. I’ll show you how to be an explorer, how to seek out the greatest needs of your company, your employees and your customers. I’ll share my talent for decoding employee and customer behavior into programs and practices that will unlock their potential and possibilities for future success. I will challenge your status quo, norms and behaviors. I will challenge you to see your company, employees, culture and customers differently. I will encourage you to make the most of your company’s potential and your market possibilities so that your company serves better, performs better and becomes better, every day.
You will transform your company with the help of an agile planning system that makes the most of your experience, judgment and instincts. With a little help from the megabytes of data available to you!
I am a business consultant. So what?
Our Guiding Principles
Enough said.
Find the balance in your company and find your better.
How We Started
I poured 30+ years of experience planning and strategizing for some of the world’s favourite brands and biggest manufacturers into a planning system that gives small and medium sized businesses the same planning advantages as global companies, with more flexibility and agility.
Thrive began as a question around becoming better in an era of unprecedented change and uncertainty. The answer was inspired by healthcare professionals who diagnose, plan and act in difficult and chaotic conditions with great certainty and grace.
For over 17 years my company and I have worked with manufacturing, tech, food processing, professional services, retail, education and family-owned companies. What has made SIG planning systems successful across different business categories is a shared belief in the potential and possibility of human-centered business.
My passion for human centered business is rooted in the Renaissance, the most prolific expansion of human potential in history. My study of the Renaissance has revealed best practices and principles that are now an integral part of Thrive.
At SIG, the belief in human-centered business has created more resilient and competitively differentiated clients. Our clients now work, solve and innovate more effectively because they believe, as I do, that talent is a company’s greatest renewable resource.
Our clients have achieved a marked improvement in innovation and solution creation; more engaging cultures, more resilient people, great customer relationships and significantly improved sales and financial results.
In these uncertain times that is transformational. Would you like to be next?
