After scaling businesses of all shapes and sizes for more than 3 decades, we’ve developed a proven system for scaling service-based businesses.
We blend the right strategy + operations to make scaling not only successful, but also simple and sustainable.
We are now certifying select partners in our Lean Scaling System, with 2 certification tiers:
- Chief Strategy and Operating Officer (CSOO): for those who are the strategic advisor to a founder at an executive level (typically those working with 7-8 figure founders who enjoy being an extension of the founder and putting together the puzzle pieces and leading at the highest level)
- Scalable Ops Manager (SOM): for those who bridge strategy and execution and turn business goals into actionable plans and results (typically those putting the repeatable systems, strategies, and structure in place for the business to scale to 7-figures and who enjoy being close to execution as much as they do strategy)
Both blend strategy with operations and master our Lean Scaling System to successfully scale a business, but at different levels.Â
Join us to learn more and determine which level is the best fit for you or your team.
