Your client will tell you – business
used to be easy:
- fewer issues
- fewer people
- faster growth
- simpler decisions
- less bureaucracy
…… an “easier road”
Then they grew, and reality hit:
- processes clogged, became inefficient
- markets changed, became crowded
- growth stagnated
- process and personnel no longer
aligned with the market proposition
…… internal issues make it harder to grow and compete
What are your clients saying? What are their pain points?
“Always putting out fires”
“Can’t grow as I planned” “Too many mistakes” “Can’t keep up with market changes”
“Missing market opportunities” “Not enough of me to go around”
“Can’t get ‘buy-in’ ”
You want to help your clients solve their problem?
When this is your client…when they have operational or
market and growth challenges…
- flat revenue
- quality and production issues

leadership and the front line

Why Our Real Experience Matters:
Assessing - we know what to ask and we know how to listen. No two situations are
identical. We can connect the dots, so our solutions are appropriate and comprehensive.
Solving - Strategy AND Execution. Our solutions are quick, applicable, flexible and
completely scalable – there is no cookie-cutter approach like the larger firms.
Empowering - We empower sustainable success, and that is driven by people. We exit an
engagement with the proper structure in place to sustain long-term performance.
Performance improvement is a continual, ongoing process with
a long-term view, so our engagements are typically not brief.

permanent, fractional leadership roles.

Why INspire? When To Refer Us
Questions You Might Ask Your Clients:
• Is your revenue growth what you hoped it would be? What held you back?
• What is your cost for re-work and warranties?
• Are you getting the productivity you desire out of your workforce?
• Do you feel that you are adequately managing the burden of compliance?
• Can you identify your LEAST profitable customers and services/products?
• How is the overall morale of your workforce?
• What are your most important KPI’s, and how do you measure up?
Help uncover what drives your client’s financial and market performance. In some cases, if

We’re driven to help businesses perform.
If you think your client isn’t performing optimally (most aren’t), let us partner with
you to help. Sometimes they don’t know to best solve the issues. Sometimes, they
just “don’t have time”. We can help, and with our experience, it’s easier than you
think. Our solutions are quick and more than cover the investment in time and cost.
