You’ve heard the expression, “To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.”

It often seems a consultant will offer a ‘one size fits all’ answer, recommending a canned solution before gaining a deep and thorough understanding of the problem.

That would be just like an auto mechanic going to his toolbox, selecting his favorite wrench, then lifting the hood of the customer’s car in search of a likely-looking bolt to turn.

The BusinessSmith Forging Results progression is a flexible, comprehensive set of change management tools designed to produce the real results you need.  With them we ‘clear the clouds’ to disclose underlying problems, bring in powerful problem-solving frameworks, collaborate on finding win-win solutions, and give structure and mutual accountability to the coach/client relationship.

Whether the need is for collaboration-building Facilitation; Leadership, Team, or Enterprise development; or Made In America Lean transformation, Forging Results drives –

– a clear statement of the current situation, environment and problem, and a ‘short list’ of the most relevant, actionable objectives;

– an informed, realistic action plan and timetable to achieve those objectives, along with the delegation of authority and creation of touchpoints, performance metrics and benchmarks for monitoring progress;

– the on-the-ground work of execution.

Using BusinessSmith Forging Results assures that the solutions we implement will fit your unique challenges and deliver the results you need.
