Growing a Successful and Profitable Organization
No one knows your organization better than you and your team, and no one else can drive it forward. But we can help. Using the StratOp process by Paterson, we’ll guide you to a winning strategy by empowering your team to create a culture of excellence and define a path to move forward.
At 44North, we don’t create a plan and throw it to you to execute, leaving you to convince others in your organization to follow along. We serve as guides in the process, gaining valuable information about your organization and creating conversations that get the most important issues out on the table. We help your team to imagine the ideal future and create a clear vision and a focused plan to achieve this vision.
Our process is a powerful, customizable, proven method for growing a profitable and successful organization. It has helped hundreds of organizations from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, and it can help you.
