Client needs
Problems we can solve

- Declining growth, comp sales, and profitability for reasons not well understood, and limited innovation and experimentation to reverse it.
- Unproven economic model, or one that doesn’t work or scale well, and execution challenges and lack of clarity on what’s working and not, and what needs urgent addressing.
- Suboptimal use of technology and a lack of knowledge on how to best assimilate existing digital tools to produce elegant and effective solutions. Disparate data or lack of aggregated data making the company data-rich and knowledge poor, leading to a lack of valuable insights and actions.
- Organizational and people challenges, such as culture, collaboration, knowledge, and experience gaps.

Expectations we encourage
Our role is that of a trusted advisor, counsel, guide and coach
Our job is to figure out creative, simple, and meaningful solutions to unique and challenging problems.

The ROI clients can expect from projects should be 10x their investments, although it’s not always easily measured in cash-on-cash.
