We are passionate about solving complex problems, conceiving breakthrough ideas that deliver results and achieving enduring success for our clients.

Using proven methods that have helped countless executives and companies, we quickly identify critical factors holding back business growth and leadership performance.

Engaging with executives across the organization, we bring insight and clarity to bear on their most important issues, opportunities and decisions. Our methods are flexible and scalable for clients big and small across all geographies and markets. And, we have a proven track record of “getting it right” and delivering game-changing results.

What separates us from other strategic advisors and management consulting firms?

Experience, innovation and passion. As former senior executives for disruptive technology companies and big consumer brands, innovation is in our DNA. We bring that and a passion for turning complex problems into success stories to our consulting practice. And, as Blue Dots Partners, we are part of a network of heavy hitters from companies like Apple, Cisco, Microsoft and Oracle.

Truth and integrity. We don’t waste time, mince words or use management jargon. We never let obstacles like the status quo or organizational dysfunction get in the way of finding the truth and devising the best strategies to meet our client’s needs. And we always tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Measurable results with no surprises. We don’t just help clients solve challenging problems, make smarter decisions and create innovative strategies that achieve lasting results – we do all that on time and on budget. And we have a flexible fee program so our services are accessible to all organizations, from global enterprises and startups to small businesses and non-profits.

Testimonials

Services

Sooner or later every company plateaus – what worked before isn’t working anymore. Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks – congrats, you’re in good company. We can take you through a simple and straightforward process that determines exactly what needs to change and help you execute.
Companies have a lot of moving parts, and if they’re not properly aligned and operating smoothly, the whole machine suffers and that can dramatically limit growth. Sometimes it just takes a few adjustments here and there to solve the problem. We can quickly understand your operation and come up with the necessary changes to make everything work as it should.
When you hit a wall and growth isn’t coming as fast as you’d like, don’t make high-risk bets with your company and your career. We can help you figure out what isn’t working and fix it – probably much quicker than you think.
You can have groundbreaking products and services and still end up losing market share to competitors. Having run marketing and sales for several high-growth companies from startup to Fortune 1000, our expertise in positioning, marketing, branding and channel strategy is second to none.
Everyone needs a mentor. A coach. Someone to help smooth out those rough edges or get you through a rough patch. Someone who tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Bill Gates had Warren Buffet. Steve Jobs had Andy Grove. Steve has coached, mentored and advised countless executives and business leaders at every stage in their careers.
Chances are you didn’t get to be the boss because of your organizational skills. The good news is we live for that stuff. We can quickly assess your organizational structure, your team’s skillsets and how they interact and provide the tweaks you need to become a smooth-running, high-performance leadership team.
Markets are elastic, so if you’re not growing at least as fast as the market, you’re losing market share and effectively shrinking. That’s never a good thing. We can identify points of friction and misalignment that are holding your company back and work with you to come up with the right plan to reignite growth. We can also help you execute if needed.
Young people need the right nutrients and environment to grow. It’s the same with companies. That’s called scalability. If you can’t scale, you can’t grow. We can quickly assess your processes, infrastructure, organization and other factors limiting your scalability and develop and implement a detailed optimization plan so the sky’s the limit.
Nobody is born knowing how to run a company. We all need perspective and guidance at times. We’ve been there. And we know all the problems and pitfalls that small businesses must overcome to become thriving companies. When you need advice to help bring your dreams to reality, don’t go it alone. We are as passionate about helping you succeed as you are about your own startup or small business.
