Consulting Services
The C.O.G. consulting staff is comprised of professionals
with hands-on business experience directly from the
Architecture, Engineering and Consulting communities.
Unlike a CPA firm, whose focus can often be tax related,
C.O.G. specializes on project management, business
processes, operations, human interaction, and profitability.
We collaborate directly with principals, project managers
and end-users to provide thorough solutions.
Business
Strategy
Some businesses succeed and some fail under the exact same
circumstances and in exactly the same business. The
difference is their point of view about what a business is,
and what one is not. The difference is that successful
business owners were all entrepreneurs, and that the vast
majority of people who go into business are not.
Tight
economic conditions, increased competition and new business
strategies require organizations to look for ways to improve
their operational effectiveness. Factors that drive the
need for business process change include:
Collaboration and growth |
Regulatory compliance |
Increased productivity and consolidations |
Technology adoption |
New
business strategies |
Business and IT alignment |
Tackling
these issues requires an organization to rethink and
redesign its core processes to support current business
goals and optimize existing and future technology
investments. This requires an approach that challenges
today’s norms, leverages the best ideas from inside the
organization and looks outside for innovation.
Organizations lacking such an approach often miss
opportunities to add value to their bottom line.
Mentoring
and Executive Coaching You do not need someone to tell you how
to run your business. Your success is evidence of that.
Though some moments, you feel your work, your team, even you
could be better. But, something’s stopping you; something’s
in the way. Even the best of leaders have habits,
perceptions, and obstacles that keep them from moving from
good to exceptional. Exceptional corporate leaders take the
time to think through and develop a clear picture of where
they wan the organization to be in one, three and five
years. Leaders have the ability to communicate this vision
in such a way that others “buy-in” and eventually see the
vision as belonging to them. Our clients discover how to
work towards less waste, less stress, and less confusion.
Business
Review We understand that each client’s particular situation is
unique – and therefore deserves our complete devotion and
commitment to their success. At C.O.G., we realize how
important it is to work collaboratively with our clients to
determine the optimal plan for success and implement the
most effective solutions. Ultimately, our solutions
contribute to BLISS as summarized below.

Balance
is about how you live your life and manage and people.
Pay attention to both and bottom-line results. Balance
the whole, i.e. organizational needs, and the parts, be
they large (functions) or small (or individuals).
Balance internal (creating value for organization and
employees) and external (creating value for investors,
customers, and society as a whole). |

Leadership
is more than just having the authority of a management
or supervisory position. Authority (or position power)
gets you compliance. Leadership (or influence power)
gets you commitment. The best leaders challenge the
process, inspire, enable others to act, model the way,
and encouraging the heart. |

Innovation
Shift to the demands a renewed emphasis on innovation.
This new economy is led by those who innovate – create,
find and/or combine knowledge into new products,
services, and distribution methods – faster than their
competitors. Innovation is above all spurred by
entrepreneurial action, aimed at creating value through
the application of knowledge |

Synergy
Corporate strategy seeks to develop synergies by sharing
and coordinating staff and other resources across
business units, investing financial resources across
business units, and using business units to complement
other corporate business activities. |

Speed
is an indispensable ingredient of competitiveness and a
precondition for winning in the new rapidly changing
economy. “Speed keeps businesses – and people – young…
Speed exhilarates and energizes. It's addictive, and
it's a taste you need to cultivate.” |
