Gerald Ellis & Associates, LLC

Our results focused services aim to grow businesses, strengthen organizations and enhance overall performance. We combine strategic, organization, management and business improvement consulting in a unique way to serve the distinctive needs of high growth companies, functions and business units.

We believe that growing businesses need to evolve their strategic and organization processes as they grow, but cannot readily adopt the playbooks of major corporations.  We have adapted corporate best practices to guide emerging organizations as they seek to prioritize their actions and build strong organizations.

We help you develop a long range strategic plan and a twelve to twenty-four month operations plan.  Your objective in planning is to define the critical results needed to achieve your goals.  These results become the guideposts and metrics needed to track progress.     

We guide you in defining critical results for all levels from overall company performance to individual achievements.  Results are integrated, simple to understand and visible to everyone.  Helping to eliminate unproductive political and individual agendas.  You work to achieve results.  You lead and manage to get there.

It takes effective leaders to build productive teams dedicated to achieve desired results and exceeding growth objectives.  Leaders who are smart about their business and care about accomplishments, both their own and the company's.  We help these leaders guide, direct, encourage and empower their teams with smart competitive initiatives and proven best practices. 

With these ingredients -- effective leadership, dedicated teams, clearly defined results and sound strategic and operations plans -- accomplishing growth becomes everyone's job.

Today's executives are challenged with an ever-changing business environment, evolving corporate cultures, intense competition and uncertain economic conditions.  Competition for advancement, corporate downsizing and organization restructuring have put many qualified and capable senior executives into the job search market.  For many out placed leaders and specialists the roles they just left either do not exist or are difficult to find in another organization.  

Our approach is proactive and includes working with executives to access personal skills and abilities, identify the characteristics they would find rewarding in a new role, define contacts who are best positioned to provide guidance and direction, and outline a course of action for implementing a successful job search or embarking on a new career path.  

We work one-on-one with executives as a personal coach or adviser.  Our process is based on defining specific objectives, evaluating results and helping clients to be accountable for follow-up and defining next steps.
