PROVEN PROCESS. PROVEN TOOLS. PROVEN RESULTS.
At CSI Consultants we are midwestern advisors with a strong work ethic and values. While other firms simply advise, we go to work inside your organization. The jacket comes off and the sleeves are rolled up. The real results are proof of the critical work we do together. Whether you own a struggling business or a successful organization you are ready to sell, our “Think. Plan. Execute. Evaluate.” approach to our work follows the same proven path in each and every engagement – more than 400 of them over 30 years.
THINK & UNDERSTAND
Each engagement starts with building organizational understanding. From surveying your employees to diving deep into your operations and financials, we audit systems, processes, and people first.
PLAN & PRIORITIZE
Out of understanding, a plan of action can be developed. Prioritizing “all the things” produces both early and long-lasting results, while forecasting, goal setting, and benchmarking are established to track progress.
EXECUTE & SUPPORT
The difference between our work and that of traditional consultants is the ongoing execution support we can provide. We're not simply a "tell you what to do" firm, we're a long term "help you do what you need to do" partner.
EVALUATE & REINFORCE
Refining the strategy is only part of the equation. As your partner, we will also help prevent the backsliding that so often happens in business, creating discipline and continuous improvement.
OUR APPROACH IS SIMPLE. DIRECT. DRIVING. CANDID. PROVEN.
Whether you are facing a company turnaround, looking at your upward potential, or making the final climb towards selling your business, the perspective is often the same. Standing at the bottom of a seemingly insurmountable mountain. CSI Consultants is here to help you scale that mountain and face the incline alongside you, cultivating a long term relationship by:
- Building trust and understanding
- Encouraging your entrepreneurial spirit
- Listening and being a sounding board
- Guiding the process
- Bringing outside perspective and expertise
- Dismantling roadblocks
- Instilling accountability
- Simplifying the overwhelming
- Revealing potential blind spots
