STRATEGIC CONSULTING AND COACHING SERVICES

BRIDGING THE GAP
BETWEEN VISION AND EXECUTION

METHODOLOGY

My problem solving approach in a nutshell

Problem solving methodology, from strategy to design, implementation, launch, and learning.

STRATEGIZE

Gain a deep understanding of the problem before making plans or coming up with solutions.

Create alignment between your vision and the actual tactic and execution, and across the organization.

Create the vision and strategy with all the meaty practical details on how to implement.

DESIGN

Design is part of both big picture thinking and tactical solutioning.

Ideate, prototype, and validate the solution before building and launching in real life.

Use Design Thinking Methodology to create human-centered solutions and experience design.

EXECUTE

Build with confidence using the validated solution design.

Ensure alignment with the overall vision.

Excellence in product management.

MEASURE & LEARN

Track and measure the outcomes for continuous learning and future iterations.

Use Data Storytelling to create insights to inform the next iteration of the strategy.

I HELP MY CLIENTS SOLVE

THE AIR SANDWICH PROBLEM

“An Air Sandwich is a strategy that has clear vision and future direction on the top layer, day-to-day action on the bottom, and virtually nothing in the middle—no meaty key decisions that connect the two layers, no rich chewy filling to align the new direction with new actions within the company." 

~ Nilofer Merchant

Organizations struggle getting their vision and strategy implemented when they create the strategy created from 80,000 feet high without an understanding of what is happening on the ground.

 

In other words, there is a disconnect, lack of transparency, and lack of alignment.

​

Lack of alignment can also occur between layers or across departments who do not see eye to eye on the goals and challenges.

​​​

Risks of a top-down approach when creating and implementing a strategy include lack of buy in, missed opportunities, wasting resources, unhappy staff, and unhappy customers.

An effective vision and strategy should be informed by an understanding of all the layers that make up the organization, services, or customers.

​

Once the strategy is created, it needs to be translated to each layer of the organization.​

​

This means creating all the meaty details in the middle: trackable and measurable goals and actions.

WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE

BIG PICTURE THINKING MEETS ATTENTION TO DETAILS

A blend of the best of both worlds: strategic and tactical.

Problem solving methodology, from strategy to design, implementation, launch, and learning.

ANOTHER PROBLEM I HELP MY CLIENTS SOLVE

REQUIREMENTS GATHERING WITHOUT A CAREFULLY CRAFTED STRATEGY & DESIGN

In the absence of the big picture thinking, often organizations spin their wheels creating band-aid solutions, or making changes that do not serve the entire organization or constituents.

What happens when there is requirements gathering and building solutions without properly crafted strategy and design.

As a result, they waste their resources investing in the wrong solutions that solve the wrong problems.

Misalignment between what the business wants, what the customers want, and what actually gets built.
CREATING ALIGNMENT

Not all problems need to be solved. And not all problems need to be solved by building grand solutions. In a world of limited resources, we need to be smart about how we allocate our time and energy.

​

Let's find the sweet spot where we can be confident that we maximize the return of our intestment!

 

Alignment: the intersection of business, customers, and solutions.

CORE PRINCIPLES

How I do everything that I do

A unique blend of strategic thinking and excellence in execution

I'm a  strategist with hands-on experience in execution. I started my career from the bottom after graduating college with a degree in Computer Science. I have spent years building solutions and, in recent years, I gradually shifted my focus on strategy work to solve higher level problems. Not only I know how to build solutions, I also know how to help organizations decide or agree on what problem to solve. Not only do I know how to create a menu, or run a restaurant, I also know how to cook!

SERVICES

These are some of the common services I offer to clients. I can customize the services based on your needs. If you have a problem, I can help you understand and then solve it.
