The Now & Next of Work isn’t Waiting.
Let’s Get You Ahead of it.
Work feels off right now — fast, messy, a little too stressful. We help leadership teams get clear, get aligned, and get moving in 90 days or less, so you stop bleeding time, talent, and opportunity.
Our Philosophy
Design for Clarity. Build for Durability. Bet on Humanity.
We’ve spent 20+ years building strategy in the rooms where the stakes are highest — Nike, Deloitte, KPMG, and high-growth startups.
Strategy without clarity is expensive confusion.
We help you align your team around a strategy that makes every quarter count.
❌ Your direction feels off—and spending time on vague goals means you’re not building momentum.
❌ You risk rolling into the next quarter with misaligned priorities and diluted efforts.
❌ Without a clear strategy, you’ll burn budget on projects that don’t move the needle.
❌ Your leadership team goes into meetings talking past each other, not driving progress.
❌ By waiting to get clear, you’re trading speed and alignment for mounting frustration—and wasted resources.
We’ve seen this play out everywhere from Fortune 50 boardrooms to scrappy startups.
That’s why we built a process that’s simple enough to run anywhere — but battle-tested in the toughest rooms at Nike, Deloitte, and KPMG.
-
Step 1. Clarity
From gut feeling to shared understanding.
Until you know the right problem, every solution is a gamble.
-
Step 2. Signals
From scattered data to a clear, actionable picture.
Decisions made without the full picture cost more than you think — in budget and credibility.
-
Step 3. Pathing
From indecision to the smartest move for right now.
Clarity means nothing without a decision. This step makes sure you make the right one.
-
Step 4. Alignment
From “we have a plan” to “everyone’s on the same page.”
A strategy only works if everyone can run it — in the same direction, at the same time.
We don’t just see the struggle, we’ve lived it too.
We’ve been in those meetings that go nowhere, watched smart people pull in different directions, and felt the weight of each decision like you’re stumbling blind.
We know how isolating and draining that can feel.
The good news?
You don’t have to do this alone.
Your Work Friends are here to help!
Pick the path that fits you!
One, a few, or the whole (damn) play.
