BRS.Jump :: Business Recovery Services

Are You an Ideal Client?

For us an ideal client is the President, CEO or business leader of a midsized business (or business unit with 50 to 500 employees) based in Canada or the USA that looking for help with a complex business situation.

The CEO may be looking for a strategic advisor, master strategist, CEO coach, leadership consultant, strategy facilitator or strategic planner to provide some insight to overcome the complexity or a process to guide the management team to produce a plan that is supported and implemented by the participants and their staff.

The CEO often expects the consultant, coach or advisor that they hire will do some research, facilitate a meeting, retreat, brainstorming session to encourage some kind of fresh thinking (often called thinking outside the box) and then incorporate the ideas into a plan or written document which they call a business plan, strategic plan, strategic map or road map to guide the business.

The bottom line is CEO is facing a level of complexity that is holding back the growth of the business. Attempts to address the issue internally are not working because it is a new situation the business has never faced (such buying another business, succession planning for the next generation of management, restructuring the business, refinancing the business, opening up a new market place, rolling out a new product opportunity, developing a new process to save costs or improve sales and margins) or the solutions that have worked in the past no longer work (such as pricing strategies, staff motivation and outsourcing).

The ideal client is a professional service firm, family owned business or specialty manufacturer where a traditional management hierarchy does not work and the business is focused on managing a series of projects than completing routine tasks. This ideal client is prepared to find an independent third party coach, consultant or advisor and invest the time and money to find a simple yet effective solution rather than muddle through.

What are the results of using a strategic planner, coach, mentor or consultant?

Here are some examples:

We provided strategic advice and support to assist a Canadian junior mining company, based in Ontario, to double their share price so that the warrants could be "in the money" in less than six months. Prior to our strategic involvement the CEO was not able to move the share price significantly in the past 18 months.

We assisted a Canadian training company to secure a large US client based in Atlanta Georgia using an innovative pricing strategy. Prior to our strategic advice and mentoring the company had not secured multi-million dollar contracts.

We provided strategic coaching advice to a specialty manufacturer in Canada to help them reduce manufacturing costs by setting up an outsourcing arrangement in China for their electronic components. With our strategic support the company was able to secure a 40% saving in operating costs.

We provided strategic planning services to a manufacturer in South West Ontario to gain new insights into each of their four business units. This strategic planning process took one day per business unit per year and was repeated for the next five years. In that time the company used our strategic mentoring services to help the COO restructure one division, replace the management in a second division and develop partnerships in India. During the five year period the company was able to stabilize and grow the business while several major competitors folded.

We provided strategic mentoring and coaching to the new president of Canadian division of a large European engineering firm to assist in repositioning the business to expand into the USA. One key insight was in developing strategies to secure a greater success rate in bidding on major contracts.

We were the strategic facilitators for the development of a strategic master plan for the Town of Huntsville in Muskoka when it was faced with tough times. However the strategic plan was robust enough that when the Town secured the venue for the 2010 G8 summit several months later they were able to adapt and use the plan to help secure the intergovernmental support and funding for new infrastructure including a new university campus and ice rink.

A family business run by three brothers was stuck on future direction. With our strategic coaching and use of our one page strategic mapping tool, we were able to overcome the complexity and find a solution.

Stuart Morley served as interim president in three different manufacturing companies to strategically reposition the business and turnaround the deteriorating financial situation. We introduced 13 week cash flow planning, turnaround strategies, and revamped the growth initiatives to save and rebuilt these companies.

For us a client is someone we care, guide and protect through for the long term and this client appreciates the value of investing in a monthly retainer arrangement to ensure BRSJump is always thinking about them and there for them.
