A Clear Point of View on
Strategic Leadership & Organizational Results
Most challenges are not a lack of capacity to perform or effort.
They are the result of leadership beliefs that quietly shape habits—and organizational culture and systems that reinforce behaviors and outcomes.
Sustainable improvement requires attention to both:
-
How leaders think, decide, and show up
-
How work is structured, measured, and reinforced
That’s why this work focuses on proven coaching, consulting, and development practices that elevate people, profit, and purpose.

Organizational Consulting Case Study
Mid-Sized Organization
Growth + Sustainability
The Challenge
A fast-growing embedded systems firm was experiencing growing pains that threatened their trajectory—confusion on critical business functions, reduced operational efficiency impacting innovation, and employee frustration leading to turnover in high-demand technical roles. Leadership needed a solid organizational foundation to support ambitious 25% year-over-year growth targets.
Our Approach
Used a DMAIC framework: conducted structured interviews and guided team formation to map critical workflows; evaluated organizational structure for alignment with culture and strategy while building leadership buy-in; developed trigger-based monitoring thresholds and change management plans to sustain the transformation.
Key Outcomes
-
Achieved 25% annual financial and operational growth targets
-
Improved employee retention by 30% year over year
-
Enhanced clarity and efficiency across critical business functions
-
Established trigger-based thresholds for ongoing organizational health monitoring
"Jeff walked us through a process to reorganize due to growing pains we were experiencing. His style was calm and respectful of our time. The result really answered a major problem I couldn't quite put my finger on previously."

Strategic Planning Case Study
Large Organization
Complexity and Scale
The Challenge
A 501(c)(6) trade association with declining member companies needed to develop their next three-year strategic plan. Member companies range from small 2-3 truck operations to multi-site companies with over 1,000+ employees, requiring a planning process that serves diverse stakeholder needs.
Our Approach
Led a collaborative strategic planning process incorporating internal and external stakeholder input. Customized all member surveys, large focus group sessions, and one-to-one board and committee lead surveys were used to collect feedback. Used Scenario Planning and a Strategic Thinking-Acting-Influencing Assessment to go beyond traditional annual planning.
Key Outcomes
-
Designed a clear, actionable, multi-year strategic plan
-
Defined organizational goals, priorities, and success metrics
-
Incorporated input from diverse member companies
-
Created actionable outcomes aligned with leadership priorities

Executive Coaching and Organizatioanl Consulting Case Study
Mid-Sized Organization
Executive Fit + Culture
The Challenge
A newly appointed President and CEO stepped into leadership following the company’s founder during a period of strong growth. Despite solid business performance, the organization was experiencing misalignment beneath the surface. Employee survey results indicated declining confidence in leadership and waning inspiration. When a critical strategic initiative failed to gain traction, it exposed deeper cultural challenges that required focused leadership attention to sustain momentum.
Our Approach
Implemented a 12-month executive coaching engagement focused on senior leader presence, strategic decision-making, and assessing and realigning organizational culture. Leveraged Appreciative Inquiry through department focus groups and a culture assessment grounded in the Competing Values Framework, then facilitated a one-day culture workshop to clarify gaps between current and desired culture and align leaders around a shared path forward.
Key Outcomes
-
Employee engagement increased by 15%
-
Less passive resistance to changes
-
Identified cultural norms supportive of the previously stalled strategic initiative, restoring momentum
-
Employee confidence in leadership improved by 16%
