To be a strong leader, you must articulate the broad goals of the organization, the plans to get there along with continual truth about how it is going.  Ultimately, it is up to the CEO to engineer all the ever-changing elements of their business to work together, month after month, year after year. But reaching and then sustaining ongoing profitability requires a constant balancing act of knowing what success actually looks like (in financial terms) as compared to what is actually happening day in, day out.   This ‘Actual vs. Plan’ reality check permits the continual balancing of ongoing business decisions and strategy. To achieve these goals, we develop hard hitting action plans targeted to achieve financial improvement and smart growth.  All of this is anchored into a forward-looking financial forecast with quarterly reporting from their accounting and data systems.  In essence, we develop a blueprint of your business, which we continue to refine as we go.  We call this BusinessPrinttm
