Are you and your company ready to make some major changes to take you to the next level? This is the option for you! We’ll do an in-depth assessment of your current operations, identify and prioritize the changes that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, and help you implement those changes successfully to deliver real value: more efficient and effective operations, which means happier, more productive staff; the ability to handle more customers, more smoothly; and in the long term, higher profit margins.

Growth Consulting Spotlight:
Case Study
A group of employees purchased a consulting firm from the original owners. The new owners had expertise in providing consulting services, but knew that they needed to quickly identify ways to increase the profitability of the firm to ensure its long-term sustainability.
Dunathan Consulting was hired to assess the firm’s operations and advise on changes that would preserve the firm’s collaborative, collegial culture while improving the profit margins. We assisted the new owners to identify the company’s ideal client personas and project types, considering a variety of factors such as profitability, risk, employee engagement, company expertise, and company values. Then we helped to project potential gross and net profits based on proposed sales by project type.
We also introduced new perspectives on staff management metrics to monitor and encourage productivity. Using the company’s existing software, we proposed practical ways of collecting these metrics.
The firm is well on its way to profitable growth, and the new owners have more confidence in their ability to manage the firm.
