The ES Difference

Our Process

We offer proven results through new ideas, insight and experience to encourage creative initiatives from strategy through implementation, from company formation to updating an existing business. This process involves providing focused feedback with a plan of action to achieve ultimate success. As a collaborative partner, we offer impartial advice, guide, and transfer our skills to the client. This process will generate excitement within your organization and causes internal resources to change their focus, rather than requiring additional resources. This focused energy can then work directly towards achieving clearly established outcomes in a timely manner.

​

All our activities are designed to increase cash flow, secure the existing client base, and achieve higher profits and/or sales. With our network of strategic partners, we make business’s more successful and much stronger by optimizing existing operations and creating opportunities with our full-service digital implementation services. We establish clear client goals and work against specific objectives with outcomes and timing, contributing to client success. 

​

Our approach is highly customizable to meet your needs and budget, but all are based on the same principles. In close partnership with you, we start by identifying how ‘evolved’ your business currently is by looking that areas outlined above and using a Business Evolution Assessment that measures areas of strength and potential development with respect to:

​

Business Evolution. Measurement criteria such as; 

  • 1 = Nonexistent (We don’t do this at all),

  • 2 = Ad-hoc (we do this occasionally, but it’s not well defined) 

  • 3 = Defined (Some business units do this in a well-defined way)

  • 4 = Repeatable (We do this consistently in all business units)

  • 5 = Optimized (We optimize this through measurement across the business)

​

​We then review and agree with you on which of these areas are the most important priorities for action, ideally, the high-impact, low-cost interventions that can create some early wins and generate momentum. It is likely that any of your previous strategic planning will be updated and roll into this process. This step in our approach deals with ‘what' needs to be done and ‘why’, and for some clients, this may be sufficient. Strategic planning will likely include;

​

  • Strategies for embracing change, 

  • Leveraging existing strategic assets, 

  • Your people and culture,

  • Identifying new product and service opportunities, 

  • Customer experience enhancement,

  • How quickly digital disruption likely to occur in your sector, 

  • Streamlining operations with technology,

  • Identifying and dealing with major threats (including cyber security), 

  • Supply chain or delivery issues, 

  • Resource reallocation from threats to opportunities, and 

  • Deciding upon a governance approach for strategy implementation.

​

Once there’s an agreed upon plan, we develop and oversee the implementation of the 'what’ investments that have the best potential for producing the fastest am most meaningful changes. This is where we help you traverse the ‘concept to reality’ journey in a calculated and meaningful way.

​
