Small and Mid-sized Businesses

Small and mid-sized businesses are all about profitability and scale. They are perfecting their products and services, building new offerings and developing processes and teams like never before. It’s hard to plan for the long term when you are so incredibly busy managing the immediate. But its important to put the mechanisms in place to allow your people to make good decisions and move forward on their own. Doing so creates the synergy and alignment that multiplies individual efforts into exponential organizational success.

Leadership Development & Coaching

Especially in a growing business, people and teams are everything. Relationships are one of the key driving forces within any successful organization. Great teams create opportunities and make things happen. But teams and relationships are complex, and sometimes a little training and development can be critical to making them function effectively.

Whether it is helping your leadership team become more cohesive, you or your board think more strategically, or getting your departments to function as one, we are here to help you prepare for strategic success. Nothing happens without good leaders and leadership teams. Leveraging our 20+ years leading cross-functional teams and guiding executives, we can help ensure your team is functioning at peak performance. From leadership training, to team building, to individual coaching, to retreat planning, count on Essentiam to help you make the most of your talent and their passions with structured programming or customized interventions.

Strategic Planning

A growing business means more people, more ideas, and more opportunities. A clear vision of the future serves as a rallying cry and unifying force to bring partners, staff and other constituents together to achieve bigger outcomes than can be attained through normal yearly business planning. A strategic plan outlines the critical few outcomes that require focused energy and attention from everyone, at all levels of the organization and provides clarity of direction for everyday decision-making. Knowing where to focus over the next three to five years dramatically moves everyone collectively toward outcomes that grow the business.

Essentiam can help you create a strategic plan through a proven, collaborative process that engages stakeholders, effectively envisions the future, develops an actionable roadmap, and inspires your team to come together around a shared set of desired outcomes. Our process is part research, part facilitation, part business consulting, part change management, and part operational enablement. But it is all about your organization, your people, your growth, and your future.

Vison and
Mission

Your organization probably started out with an idea that propelled it forward. A fundamental belief that what you are doing is changing lives or the world around you, or both. But as you grew, that idea may have become diluted, or at least less well understood. Yet having a clear vision of what you want to accomplish as well as some parameters that help define your organization’s role in making that vision a reality can help bring clarity of action and purpose to your employees, customers and partners.

Establishing a clear vision and mission, and revisiting them every few years is one of the most important responsibilities of an organization’s board of directors and leadership team.

We believe establishing a clear vision and mission and effectively communicating them is one of your most powerful strategic imperatives. It’s also a place we excel. Over the years, we have honed a unique set of techniques and exercises that will help the passionate, intelligent, invested professionals on your leadership team and board of directors look beyond their current horizons to see a better future and a path for making it a reality. Creating this rallying cry to bring focus to the whole organization is empowering and exciting – and in itself can create clarity, purposeful action, and alignment. We would be happy to help you get there either as a stand-alone project, or part of a larger strategic planning initiative.
