Business Management Consulting

We make house calls. Need a check-up on the health and potential longevity of your company? Need to take the pulse of your enterprise? How well is the heart of your business pumping cash to its supporting systems? Do you have enough muscle to take on the tough tasks and enough aerobic capacity to be a tenacious finisher?

You confer a trust when you engage a consultant. You expect a successful practitioner with a level of expertise that reaches well beyond the skills of management. A fresh set of practiced eyes recognizes where better integration and synergy creates efficiencies and greater effectiveness. You deserve a trusted counselor who knows well not only the present but also forecasted external influences that impact your operations, thus giving you greater vision of your playing field.

The Achilles Heel - All Optimum Solutions, though from Rigorous analysis, reveal disadvantages that must be mitigated to succeed.

The Law of Unintended Consequences - As well as the first consequence, think through the second, then third, then fourth etc of any contemplated action

Pareto's Law - A relatively small number of causes typically produce a large majority of the problems

Know your customer - i.e. what the customer knows, doesn't know, wants to know, needs, expects, desires, dislikes, is/ is not authorized to do etc.

If it ain't broke, lets improve it.

You won't get wishy-washy mish-mash from MacDonald-Bedford. You will get, however, assertive, deliberated opinion. We know the territory, how to read the signs, speak the language, understand the players etc. Open-minded by nature, practitioners of listening and quick in assembling all relative information, our strategists are decisive. For you to be fully-satisfied, we know our conclusions must be cogent and our recommendations convincing to all stakeholders.

MacDonald-Bedford's Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS) offer clients a variety of strategies and approaches to:

Strategic and Business Planning
Change Management & Implementation
Business Process & Systems Improvement

We tailor our methodology to meet the unique circumstances of your situation, blending the right formula of survey, assessment, facilitation, coaching and training to be cost-effective as well as to maximize results.

With MacDonald-Bedford, you have quick access to the 'outside change agent,' convincing by means of insight and impartiality, thereby lending credibility to the final decision. We know the job is not done until the value-added benefits to change are understood, accepted and fully realized. But just as importantly, our strategist can help an organization avoid gut-wrenching change for changes sake and from remedying a symptom rather than eradicating a cause.
