I provide perspective, outside perspective, probing perspective. As an executive at an SMB, you can think of me as the “rear view mirrors.” While you’re driving the company forward, I reflect what is slowing your organization down and identify the blind spots. I can embed in your organization or interview your team. Based on the VPC Skills-Engagement FrameworkTM, we work through the problem areas to test and implement minor or major changes.
