Our Business Advisory Services
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.
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 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 & 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.

Five Key Questions to Help Organize Your Planning Process
Whether businesses are active in strategic planning or considering formal planning for the first time, these Five Key Questions can help frame organizational readiness while bringing needed focus for the planning team.
Flexibility with a Strong Core
Essential elements of an effective workout regimen can also be used to build and sustain competitive advantage in business. Here’s an example.
Creative Thinking and Problem Solving
Using case studies as a learning tool often brings about robust discussion, debate and dialogue. It can lead to insights and experiences directly relevant to “real world” organizational issues, challenges, and problems.
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.
