What is a Business Strategy?
A business strategy is what is used when an opportunity or a crisis occurs. A business strategy brings together the resources available (talent, capital, and time) to maximize the opportunity or minimize the crisis. Unlike a business plan which is done on an annual basis, the business strategy plan is done when an event occurs. Since the event usually occurs infrequently most CEOs and business owners have little experience or no background in creating the best business strategy plan to deal with the event.
That's why it makes good sense to call in someone who has had such experience.

Testimonial as a Business Strategist
I'd highly recommend Mr. Consoli for any company facing any tough business decision. He helped us evaluate an investment offer from a large foreign owned corporation. In the process he suggested we change our corporate structure to secure the positions of the original shareholders, helped us develop a business plan, and performed a valuation analysis that served as the basis for our internal discussions. He was extremely helpful and got us through some tough negotiations. He provided excellent advice, guidance and a workable deal points document which enabled all parties to see the potential problems of the transaction but which allowed us both to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship.

Why a Business Strategist?
.
Management consulting firms usually look for long-term relationships. Business advisors, consultants and coaches suggest and recommend. As a business strategist to owners and management Consoli helps you develop a strategic plan to achieve specific objectives - now!
Too often business consultants arrive in teams and spend too many man-hours defining and analyzing your needs. With a team of consultants offering too many alternatives, you can get confusing results. And you write bigger checks for a longer period than you anticipated. Business advisors, consultants and coaches generally take a more passive role and usually offer less aggressive solutions.
Why? Because most of them have never dealt with the pressure of signing payroll checks from an account that was overdrawn. Anyone who has knows that management has to take risks and make decisions even though all the questions have not been answered.
A Business Strategist asks the Right Questions
As a business strategist Art asks the right questions and comes to quickly understand your company’s situation. He identifies your concerns as well as those that relate to the business. His strategy is to always look to minimize the possibility of unintended consequences.

Your confidential discussions with him will provide you with information that will enable you to make the most informed strategic decisions in time to meet your commitments.
