Strategic Management Consulting

Strategic management is anchored in business planning and is defined by an ongoing process that keeps the plan strategic, relevant and actionable.    Our process identifies the best opportunities to achieve your business goals  and creates a roadmap to put you on the path to getting results right away.  It involves analyzing your business to determine the best strategic choices to achieve your goals.   While you may already know the path you want to take, our analysis identifies a number of other opportunities that may not be on your radar that can make a significant difference.

Making data-based decisions will increase the odds of success.  Studies indicate only 1 in 10 small businesses operate from a plan.  These companies grow at least 30% faster than those that don't.

Leadership Development Consulting

Leadership development consulting can be a highly effective way for anyone  to  improve their leadership capabilities. Working with Jigsaw allows your business gain access to expertise, resources, and support that can help you to achieve your leadership development goals.

Business owners need to have a wide range of skills and abilities to be successful, but there are certain skills that are particularly critical for effective leadership and management.  Here are five of the most common areas businesses owners ask for help:

1. Communication:  Communicating expectations clearly, providing constructive feedback and having difficult conversations.
2. Time management: Dealing with competing  responsibilities,  delegating and prioritization. 
3. Conflict resolution: Managing conflicts with and among team members
4. Managing team: Keeping team members motivated and engaged  when working remotely or under stressful conditions.
5. Hiring and retention: Finding qualified new hires, effectively onboarding them and retaining them.

Tell us what you're struggling with and we'll teach you how to confidently and successfully address it.

Peer-to-Peer Networks

One of the hard parts of being an entrepreneur is the psychological weight of being the key decision-maker.  Every decision  depends on you.  Figuring out how organize your time, stay accountable, and make everything happen without becoming totally overwhelmed is a real challenge. 

Not having people to talk to and bounce ideas around with can be one of the hardest parts of running your own business.

Collaboration with others can be critical for small business owners. They can share ideas, learn from others, and get the support they need to overcome the challenges they face. It can help them overcome the isolation that comes with being the boss, provide them with expertise in areas where they may not be an expert, and help them make better decisions. By collaborating with others, small business owners can increase their chances of success and build a stronger, more sustainable business.

Our Peer-to-Peer Network programs are:

• The Inner Circle
• Business Retreats
