Small – Midsize Companies Fuel the Fire of Our Economy
These companies are the ones that really want to grow and are putting their own sweat, time and energy into it. They’re also the companies that need the most help.
Companies that haven’t scaled yet are usually vulnerable and lack adequate processes and procedures to achieve their growth objectives risking them to fail.
The smart ones make the decision to invest in themselves and bring in a consultant, coach and mentor to install the proper processes and procedures.
Richard is a wealth of knowledge in which he has accumulated over a very successful career. I appreciated learning from him every step of the way.
Richard helped our team to get honest about our existing NPD process. He did not impose his ideas on our system. Instead, he allowed us to come to those realizations on our own.
Since our project with Richard, we have continued to build upon our work together. I will definitely keep Richard in mind for future opportunities.
