Double-Team

Conviction: The Best Person to Develop a Business Strategy and Plan Is Your CEO

No one knows your business better.  No one cares more about it, either. However...

...as they say about war strategy and planning, “it’s too important to be left to the generals.”  Plus, most CEOs are very busy running their company. Few have a lot of time or experience to develop an effective business plan that will really help them manage their company profitably. 

That’s why it pays to “double-team” the job, with your CEO working with Doug Hedlund to create a strategy. It's like double-teaming the star player in basketball. 

Don't try to do it yourself with a business plan template, 'recipe-like' business plan software, or a canned business plan outline.  Instead, get a serious outside point-of-view from a business-plan pro who also has 15 years of CEO experience himself, and a Columbia MBA as well. As a business strategy & plan consultant, Doug has helped client CEOs of more than 440 different product manufacturers and service marketers to reassess their marketing approach, develop their business plans, attract investment capital, manage their operations, and expand their businesses profitably.

What We Do

You may be confident of your business strategy & plan to the point of absolute certainty.  BUT—no matter how smart and sure you are, it usually helps to get a serious outside point-of-view about what you’re planning to do, before you start throwing money around.

• Will your products and services fly?
• Will your plan help you raise enough capital?
• Will it help you hit sales and profit goals?

The answers depend on whether you know what you’re doing, how persuasively you sell your plan, and how well you execute it.  Assuming, that is, that the strategy makes sense, and the plan is reasonably “do-able.” The strategy and plan we develop together—we'll double-team on it—will give your business it’s very best chance to succeed in the marketplace.

Why?  Simply because nobody does it better.  Period.

Who We Work For

• We work best with company owners and CEOs who know what they want to achieve.

• They are strong enough in their leadership style to welcome a "second opinion" from a strategy and planning 'pro' on how to achieve it.

• They are willing to give us reasonably open access to them during the six-or-so weeks process of developing a first-rate plan with them.

• We are most effective if our clients are willing to consider ideas from someone outside their company--with the understanding that we will tell them honestly what we would do if we were them.
