Many professional services firms encounter intractable barriers to their desired goals. Their resolution is critical as it impacts shareholder wealth, the brand of the firm and its ability to attract and retain quality employees and clients. FosterGrowth works with management teams and applies decades of insider experience and knowledge of contemporary best practices to assess and then guide them to eliminate impediments. FosterGrowth has the background and ability to gain the confidence of diverse ownership groups, borne out of decades of "in the business" experience as follows: Doug Reed of FosterGrowth was an executive who watched too many firms: • Fail to reach their financial goals • Enter new markets only to see their plans backfire • Bring in “rainmakers” and never get a trickle • Start important initiatives that don’t gain traction ...even while they were getting advice from outside "business consultants." Then he discovered how small tweaks to the processes, culture, and systems already in place at these firms could lead to sustained growth and stable business. Using this insight, he doubled and tripled the revenue and profitability of his firms and secured their future, while others were bleeding from the industry's worst recessions. Today, as a business consultant, corporate adviser or board member, Doug's passion is showing executives at engineering and environmental companies how safe growth and a comfortable financial position can be achieved without compromising vision or integrity. Doug has made his enormous collection of high impact insights available for free. Follow his blog for weekly smart ideas, tools and experience based advice. http://blog.fostergrowth.biz
