Think better, do better. We show you how.
Consider the power of a single decision: going to university, getting married, teaming up with a partner, even driving right instead of left has changed lives...
Decisions form your paths to opportunities.
When you work with us, we initially help you determine the best of many paths to your destination and provide the right guidance until you get there.
Along the way, we teach you how to do it on your own and equip you to transfer what you learn to others so you can multiply our value long after we part ways.
INDUSTRIES
We work with decision makers in commerce, nonprofits, government, military and education.
Our research and 30+ years of experience show that leadership challenges and solutions are universal across industries and sectors.
The number of industries we've worked with is too large to count, but we estimate 300 thus far.
If you'd like to see how we can work with you, please call or email. We welcome your questions!
CLIENT FEEDBACK
COMPREHENSIVE LEADERSHIP &
ORGANIZATIONAL ACCELERATION
“When we first started working with David, I was skeptical. Another member of our executive board had heard him speak and then hired him to work with our leadership team to help us develop our 5-year strategic plan. I thought, ‘How can this industry outsider be knowledgeable enough about our company and industry to deliver for us?’ To compound my skepticism once we started the project, I had never experienced an approach like his from any other consultant I had worked with over the 27 years of my career.
By week three, I had become a believer. David’s non-traditional approach, his side-by-side methodology, and his innate ability to sense what each exec member needed from him to push progress forward was transforming each of us to become best versions of ourselves and was producing results faster than any of us had ever seen before.
The initial project was for three months, but we recognized that David’s understanding of leadership, markets, and industries could help us in a variety of ways. We more or less developed an intimate working relationship with him over the course of three years during which he helped us prioritize, plan, and execute on major projects that not only revived our company but prepared us to face an oncoming recession from a position of strength. Because of our work with David, we drastically improved the customers’ experience, defined and elevated our brand, developed a culture of innovation throughout our organization, and became much more proactive and forward thinking as a result of our strengthened abilities to strategize and forecast.
What I would say about working with David is this: Be willing to open your mind to new ways of thinking and approaching challenges, and have faith that his innovative approaches will produce rapid results and make previously invisible opportunities visible.
My skepticism has changed; if not for David’s work with our executive board, I am skeptical whether our company, which is a market leader in the Asia Pacific region, would even be in business today.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
& SUCCESSION PLANNING

He exceeded our expectations as he turned a once complacent group of executives into a much more productive group within a surprisingly short time frame."

CONSULTING AT
"50,000 FEET"
"I was ecstatic, because David changed our business development model in ways we never could have dreamed. With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, he integrated sales, marketing, management, and operations into one comprehensive model. He even turned some 20-year veterans around with remarkable finesse: no arguments, no fights, no battles."
-John Redinger, Vice President Sales and Marketing, DialAmerica
STRATEGIC PROJECT SUPPORT
"Within as little time as a week, David learned about our company and industry to the extent that you facilitated two completely interactive programs with 300+ members of our staff, guiding us in the strategy we should use to get the highest return on our project. We were told he would go beyond the project scope as a futurist and strategist, and he exceeded our expectations."
-Michael Wilson, National Sales and Marketing Director, Comerica
