Strategic Advisory & Consulting for Private Sector Organizations
Most Organizations don’t fail for lack of effort. They drift when their structure can’t support their aspirations.
Alignment slogans and one-time strategic plans may momentarily rally a team, but they don’t create enduring results. Sustained high performance depends on systems that hold clarity, distribute energy and accountability, and enable people to reliably advance toward the outcomes they care about.
We'll help you design the strategy, implement it across your organization, and sustain momentum so progress compounds instead of stalling. This means reducing waste and confusion and increasing clarity, speed, and reliability.
When organizations function at this level, they become a civilizing force —creating outcomes and possibilities that wouldn't exist otherwise.
HERE'S WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE.

CLIENT CASE STUDY #1
This $3B health insurer became the fastest-growing player in its market.
PROBLEM:
A regional health insurance leader was pouring resources into product innovation, only to watch competitors replicate every new offering within six months. Meanwhile, critical business insights weren't reaching the executives who needed them most.
SOLUTION:
We shifted the strategy from product to distribution, executed a one-year expansion to match competitors' reach, and introduced a management framework that cascaded decision-making intelligence across the entire organization.
IMPACT:
The company tripled in size—from $3B to $9B—in roughly five years and became the fastest-growing health insurer in its market. All without inflating headcount costs.
When a new CEO took the helm at this regional health insurance provider, the company was stuck in a losing game. They were investing heavily in new product innovation, but competitors copied everything they released within six months. The strategy wasn't working.
Our structural analysis revealed the real issue: they were competing on the wrong battleground. We pivoted the strategy to focus on distribution instead, executing a one-year expansion plan that brought them to parity with their competitors' reach.
But there was another problem. Critical business intelligence—the kind that drives smart, informed decisions—wasn't reaching the executives who needed it. Information was getting lost or diluted as it moved up the chain of command.
We introduced a management framework that trained leaders at every level to surface and act on the right information at the right time. Starting with the executive team, we taught this approach to 30 managers, then 100, then across the entire organization. As a result, the company increased its decision-making capacity without adding headcount or incurring additional costs.
The final outcome: The business grew from $3 billion to $9 billion in roughly five years and became the fastest-growing health insurer in its market. The management approach we developed was later published as The Managerial Moment of Truth by Robert Fritz and Bruce Bodaken (Simon & Schuster) and was recognized by Harvard Business Review as one of the year's best business books.
CLIENT CASE STUDY #2
This last-place automotive plant became the top performer in its global network.
PROBLEM:
A 1,000-person automotive component plant in Turkey was dead last in performance across its global network. Poorly designed systems were driving up production time and costs, and the facility was struggling to meet the parent company's quality and delivery standards.
SOLUTION:
We conducted a structural analysis to pinpoint what wasn't working, then partnered with the senior team to redesign critical manufacturing systems and establish sustainable implementation practices over a two-year period.
IMPACT:
Within 12 months, the plant went from worst to first—outperforming sister facilities in Germany, France, and Poland. It became the highest-performing unit in the entire international group.
This Turkish automotive components plant was in trouble. As part of a global OEM network, the 1,000-person facility consistently ranked last in performance across the international group. Production timelines were dragging, costs were climbing, and the plant was struggling to meet the parent company's quality and delivery standards.
The senior leadership team knew something had to change, but they weren't sure what. That's when we were brought in.
Our structural analysis quickly revealed the root cause: the plant's core systems were fundamentally misdesigned. The way work flowed through the facility, the way decisions were made, the way performance was tracked—none of it was set up for success.
We partnered with the senior team to redesign the manufacturing systems that mattered most. We rebuilt how the plant operated, then put sustainable practices in place to make sure the changes stuck.
The turnaround was dramatic. Within 12 months, the plant had transformed from the lowest-performing unit in the group to the highest, outperforming sister facilities in Germany, France, and Poland. By the end of year two, the transformation was firmly in place. The plant didn't just catch up; it surpassed expectations and became the benchmark.
CLIENT CASE STUDY #3
How a dysfunctional R&D team turned a failing AIDS drug project into $100M+ in annual revenue.
PROBLEM:
A 10-person R&D team at a major pharma company was tasked with fast-tracking an AIDS drug through FDA approval, but the project was stalled. The team leader—a world-renowned virologist—had critical scientific expertise but lacked management skills. Morale was tanking, deadlines were ignored, and team members pointed fingers instead of solving problems.
SOLUTION:
We repositioned the scientist as technical lead and brought in a seasoned project manager to run operations. Then we built a structural roadmap with clear benchmarks, accountabilities, and due dates, and redesigned reporting lines so everyone knew who owned what.
IMPACT:
The team secured FDA fast-track approval, generated over $100M in annual revenue, and the lead scientist maintained their authority, stayed in their zone of genius, and was celebrated across the organization.
A major pharmaceutical company had a problem. They were trying to fast-track a critical AIDS drug through FDA approval, but the 10-person R&D team responsible for the project was stuck.
The team leader was a world-renowned virologist, recognized as the expert on the AIDS virus. Their scientific knowledge was essential to the project's success, but they weren't effective as a team manager. Deadlines were slipping, objectives were being ignored, and morale was in the tank. Team members were pointing fingers at each other, at outside circumstances, and at everything except the actual problem.
Our structural analysis quickly revealed the issue: The scientist was brilliant in their field, but they were in the wrong role. They needed to focus on the science—the FDA submissions, the technical strategy, the virology expertise. They didn't need to manage people, timelines, and internal operations.
We repositioned them as the technical lead and brought in a seasoned project manager to handle day-to-day execution within the scientist's authority. Then we built a structural roadmap with clear benchmarks, due dates, and accountabilities. We redesigned reporting relationships so everyone knew exactly who owned what.
We stayed closely embedded with the team throughout the process, ensuring the new structure remained intact. And it did.
As a result, the drug received FDA fast-track approval, generating over $100 million in annual revenue for the company. The scientist kept their authority, stayed in their zone of genius, and became a celebrated figure across the organization.
