Crafting strategy or revisiting strategies for established firms is a consulting staple at Parker & Associates. We often work with management teams off-site to conduct strategic reviews, establish new directions and define critical success factors in achieving new goals. Our methodology is highly successful.

Projects also include comprehensive business plans, complete ground-up planning for new concepts, business audits, strategic reviews for Associations and Societies and the creation of strategic alliances. In recent months Pat Parker has conducted several full strategic planning programs for YPO (Young Presidents Organization) members who desire to grow their businesses.

Pat has worked with many family businesses where sensitivity is required to the interaction between family and the business. There are unique issues including succession, family councils,building value prior to a potential sale, and creation of Advisory Boards.

Some recent projects include:

• consult to major investor in decision to purchase a prominent national Canadian retail brand
• strategic planning sessions for many companies in equipment rentals, home improvement, foodservice, valves, customs brokerage, leisure/recreation.
• provide guidance for large automotive retailer for significant change in it's distribution logistics
• create start-up retail concept for one of Canada's largest industry associations.

Testimonial:

I hired Pat to lead our strategic planning as he was highly recommended by another YPO member. Pat's methodology is very sound - it covers all important areas and I felt a real partnership with Pat as he dug deep into our business and got us to focus on the right things. I know he wants us to continue to be successful. I will bring him back again.
