Advanced Care Partners
A startup used Flawless Execution℠ and a High-Definition Destination to align around four critical leverage points, scaling to the fastest-growing provider with 40% market share, turnover one-third the industry average, and 60% higher patient retention—attracting outside investment.
DSI
Facing revenue 70–80% below plan, DSI aligned around a shared vision and disciplined missions; in 30 days they hit 122% of goal, launched a new line, and avoided layoffs—installing execution rhythms that stuck.
Sage Intacct
With the pipeline decimated and teams misaligned, leaders rallied around a single mission and empowered regional “Aces,” achieving 100% of sales quota in 60 days and establishing a repeatable opportunity-creation cadence.
VMWare End User Computing
Afterburner unified a $1B global business unit around a High-Definition Destination and a few critical priorities, reversing a slide and delivering 12 consecutive quarters of ~20% YoY growth.
VMware + IBM Alliance
We helped two partners rebuild trust, aligned on one flagship offer, and established joint execution rhythms—achieving 117% of a $300M plan in three months, with a pipeline forecast to 150%.
Schlumberger
A checklist pilot and disciplined debriefs reduced Non-Productive Time in wireline operations, standardizing best practices and unlocking $2.8M in revenue within six weeks.
Southwire
A six-week FLEX implementation (plan, brief, execute, debrief) tightened sales execution; one division exceeded its 10% annual sales growth goal in a single month and adopted enduring briefing/debriefing habits.
