Ferguson has helped us align our leadership team and install a system for management.

Rob’s approach to training is excellent. He brings practical and current information from his interactions with other CEOs and executives – not just “ivory tower” thinking or dated ideas. Rob’s training sticks beyond the initial enthusiasm.

He’s given us tools for navigating change where the pressure is taken off people and placed on the process.

Our process for working together

Discover

Discover

We begin each engagement with an assessment and discovery process.

Our goal is to find the opportunities in where you are now and where you want to go.

Prepare

Prepare

In the preparation stage we create a solution road map - a prioritized plan with a sequence of steps.

As the client, you will choose which direction you want to go.

Execute

Execute

For each item in the solution road map, we follow what we call our "system for management" - an established schedule for getting things done: planning, executing, reporting, improving and forecasting.

Decide

Decide

Each year, the decision is the same: do we want to grow? Or is it time to exit?

If the decision is to grow, we circle back to the discovery phase to determine the opportunities.

Exit

Exit

If you choose to exit, you can either transition your company to the next generation by implementing your succession plan - or you can begin the M&A process to sell your business.
