Did you know that 90% of strategic plans fail?
You are:
Stuck in the storm: You’re so caught in the unending chaos of day-to-day execution that you have no time to focus on long-term, big-picture planning.
Stranded: You’re just plain stuck — usually because your people, processes, and systems are obstacles to your growth.
Do any of these
sound like you?
You’re stuck IN the business, and can’t find time to work ON it… so your organization has plateaued. And you can’t figure out your next step.
Your internal processes are inefficient or inconsistent, causing wasted time, frustrated employees, poor customer service, or slow delivery of projects.
You’re scared to make the wrong decision… so you get frozen in analysis paralysis and don’t make ANY decision.
Your team is underperforming, working in silos, or resistant to change. But you don’t know how to align everyone around a shared vision — or how to get the right people in the right seats.
You feel like your business never has enough money on hand to solve problems that pop up. And you’re starting to worry about meeting shareholder expectations.
When you leave for a 2-week vacation, you know that strategic initiatives are going to stall out while you’re gone.
You’re lonely at the top. Whenever you’re faced with a huge decision, you don’t have a trusted advisor or confidante to bounce ideas off of.
You’re afraid of being left behind in a rapidly shifting world. But you don’t know which strategies, tools, or ideas to implement.
To build a strategy that will ACTUALLY scale your business, you need to optimize your:
People
You can’t scale a business without a great team. We teach you how to attract and retain your team, maximize their talents, get them in the right seats, and align them around a shared vision.
Process
Bloated, time-consuming, inefficient processes kill an organization’s ability to scale. We’ll show you how to eliminate waste, streamline, and improve your efficiency that will save you time… AND help your team get back to what they do best.
Systems
No strategic plan is effective without an accountability system, as well as a system to actually execute that plan’s steps. We work directly with your team and leaders to build those systems that not only help you achieve your short-term strategic goals — but also set yourself up for long-haul success.

How a land surveying company
transformed its business (and
profits) within 1 year
transformed its business (and
profits) within 1 year
CEO Kenny Green’s company, Terrane, was already a thriving, well-regarded land surveying business in the Puget Sound region. But the organization had hit a plateau, projects were stalling, and there was no clear growth strategy in place.
Through the 40 Strategy CAPTAIN methodology, we identified how to reduce Terrane’s land surveying process from 140 hours to 40, clarified which Key Performance Indicators the company should measure, shuffled team members around until they were in their right-fit roles, and eliminated waste.
Thanks to that work, Terrane increased sales by over 40%, Kenny got back to more strategic duties, and the company set itself up for long-haul success — all within a year.
