About Alexander Joseph & Associates, LLC

Alexander Joseph & Associates was founded by Joseph P. Truncale, Ph.D., CAE

Joe enjoyed a 30-year career with NAPL, an executive management association for business owners in the graphic communications industry. As part of NAPL’s transformation to a consulting and research organization, Joe and his executive team formed a business advisory service to help owners explore strategic options for growth.

Alexander Joseph & Associates builds on this advisory expertise to help business and organizational leaders identify and maximize opportunities in a time of rapid change. With decades of experience working with entrepreneurial business leaders, association executives, and volunteer leaders, we’re uniquely positioned to offer best in class advisory services focused on executive and organizational leadership, strategic planning, and implementation.

Our Business Advisory Services

Strategic Planning and Execution

Strategic Planning & Execution

Essential to any successful enterprise is the ability to plan effectively and to then execute on that plan. Our unique planning process (The Five A’s Method™) aligns the leadership team and moves plans into action while ensuring accountability for results. Quarterly updates keep the plan on track while allowing for adaptability and flexibility.

Organization and Culture

Organizational Culture & Improvement

Getting culture right begins not with assumptions or opinions about how we “feel” about our culture, but with measurement and data. Utilizing the Organization Culture Inventory (OCI) through Human Synergistics, we assess the current state of your organization’s culture, identify areas for improvement and we set a course for rapid movement toward the ideal operating culture.

Performance building blocks

Performance Management

The current state of most employee performance evaluation and development efforts are perfunctory at best and dreadful at worst. There’s a better way. Utilizing Alexander Joseph & Associates unique process brings needed focus and simplicity to an essential organizational requirement. The result establishes an easy to understand, direct link between individual performance and organizational objectives.

Executive Development and Coaching

Executive Development & Coaching

Being a CEO carries with it an array of challenges, frustrations, and doubts. Often there is nowhere for executives to go to share questions and concerns about their own leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and the overall performance of their management team. Having access to a trusted advisor who knows the right questions to ask, then listens without judgment or emotion can bring clarity to even the thorniest leadership issues.

“Joe Truncale is one of the primary reasons for our success. He helped us build a company driven by entrepreneurial spirit to a nationally recognized leader in our industry. He brought out the best in a talented, yet diverse, leadership team. We discovered our potential and turned it into reality. Year over yeay with Joe’s guidance, our mission was achieved.”

Teresa Jaynes, VP Account Development/Imagine Charlotte

“At the recommendation of one of our industry’s leading printers, I engaged Joe shortly before a major acquisition to help us plan and set a strategy for a bigger, better future. With Joe organizing and facilitating our strategic planning effort, the post-merger integration went smoothly and our company’s sales reached an all-time high.

The results were so good that Joe continued to lead our annual planning process (as well quarterly review meetings to keep us on track) for the next 10 years. Joe is more than a consultant, he became a valuable member of our senior leadership team.”

— Bryan T. Hall, CEO / Graphic Visual Solutions

“Over the years I have been a participant in a number of sessions that Joe has led ranging from sales and business development to strategic planning to executive leadership development.

Joe led a Leadership team retreat for our group a couple of years ago and was able to pull the best out of each participant, encourage healthy debate, challenge assumptions and improve the level of trust and discourse among our team members. I have engaged Joe to speak to workshops as well as deliver keynotes. He delivers a thought provoking message in a compelling way with plenty of humor for good measure.”

— Kevin K. Cushing, President / Alliance Franchise Brands

How We Work

Our unique strategic planning process prioritizes objectives and resources and simultaneously eliminates the suffocating “busyness” that so often distracts and derails business plans. A disciplined approach to plan execution is formed around quarterly updates which ensure accountability for results while building in needed flexibility for the plan to adapt to changing circumstances.

Understanding the Details

We begin with our unique, branded approach, The Five A’s Method™. First, an understanding of where we are and what we have to work with (Awareness/assessment), how our team, systems, processes and resources are organized (Alignment), development of an operating plan (Action) , individual, department and leadership responsibilities are recorded (Accountability) and measurable goals and targets are set and monitored (Achievement).

Delivering Value

Because of our years of extensive executive experience and utilizing our brand-specific tools, we help executive leaders simplify and focus on what matters most. Our process helps eliminate complexity and confusion and replace it with clarity and confidence. The investment of time and energy in planning and strengthening organizational culture will create and sustain substantial competitive advantage.

Getting Results

Our aim is to help business leaders rediscover the joy and satisfaction that comes from leading and developing people while delivering on the promise, the purpose, and the mission of their organization. Creating a winning operating culture and a sound strategy effectively deployed is a powerful combination for long term success.

My Commitment to Executive Leaders

Through purposeful strategic planning and executive coaching, we identify and instill positive, goal-directed habits and behavioral traits essential for individual and organizational success.
