What is Jump Start?

An executive team process focused on quickly capturing and summarizing the internal viewpoint of leadership across parameters critical to the effective management of the business.

Jump Start is an intense, facilitated, structured, highly interactive 1-2 day team session that relates success metrics for the business with:

  • Internal management perspective on the company’s MARKET POSITION
  • SWOT Analysis – Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats for the business, as defined by the management team
  • Identification of core business challenges that impede both short and long term success

By participating in the Jump Start process, leaders will gain the following:

  • Frame core growth opportunities for the business over the next twelve months, from the perspective of internal leaders
  • Gap identification – a clear and specific summary of the ‘holes’ in leadership alignment relative to the identified growth opportunities
  • Implications for how management’s understanding of MARKET POSITION, SWOT Analysis, and summary of business challenges will impact short-term priorities over a 60 – 90 day time horizon
  • Tactical game plan – a prioritization of next steps, accountabilities, and timing for closing identified gaps; laying the foundation for specific market action linked to profitable growth
  • Sense of urgency – a desire by the executive team to utilize session output to proactively manage the business to a higher state of performance, profitability and cash-flow
  • Consensus perspective and renewed sense of purpose as the leadership team coalesces around business issues as a team – separate from functional orientation
