Our Approach

SLC is Different: Our Methods and Work Style Yield Results

Analysis. Strategy. Implementation.

  • SLC is a results oriented growth and new products consultancy
  • Our business is helping companies find and capture high potential opportunities

 

Our Methods

  • Each client project is unique and requires a thoughtful approach to analysis and strategy development – we do not believe in off-the-shelf solutions.
  • SLC’s tested, economics-based methods are designed to help companies discover where they make money, how to make more of it faster, find new sources of money (by identifying opportunities at the corporate and product levels that go well beyond competitive advantage), and implement those strategies.
  • Creating Strategic LeverageTM – finding and investing in strategies that leverage company strengths and tap into the money pools
  • Monopoly RulesTM – new, disruptive business and product opportunities
  • Our OnePage Plan (OPPTM) – a methodology that helps management teams focus on the critical actions required to execute a successful strategy
  • We realize that growth, whether in the form of internal investment, acquisition, or new products significantly impacts the organization.

Where appropriate and when requested, we work with clients to implement growth strategies – which may mean fundamentally changing the existing processes or structure of the company.

We involve the critical people in your organization required to implement the desired course of action. We know that large strategy change or new product rollouts involve many stake holders and our efforts involve ensuring alignment in the implementation process.

 

Our Work Style

  • We believe our job is to make you and your team successful.
  • We work well with your people at all levels in order to get the job done.
  • Our experienced team is a pleasure to work with – no edginess or arrogant attitude.
  • We believe in direct communication and avoid jargon.
  • We tell it like it is – even if management doesn’t want to hear it
  • That said, our unique approach to facilitation helps to remove political barriers and eliminate sacred cows while achieving buy-in on the required strategic and operational actions

 

How SLC is Different:

  • We are a boutique that focuses entirely on growth and new products – there are no other practice areas that cause distraction or extreme revenue targets that drive our partners’ behavior. We will not try to cross sell you a supply chain, sourcing, or IT project.
  • We offer a distinct approach to finding, analyzing, and implementing growth strategies based on time-tested, proprietary methods.
  • Our focus and passion is conducting growth strategy and implementation projects that deliver results for our clients.
  • Also, we believe in doing the best work for our clients, even if that means delaying the start of other projects. Since SLC’s founding in 1976, our passion for helping our clients implement growth strategies has driven our firm.
