Running a small business is HARD — I know, because I ran my family business for more than a dozen years. Sometimes you need someone who you can bounce ideas off of, who can take a little off your plate for a moment, or who can help you problem solve issues you don’t want your staff to know about.
As a small business Innovation Strategist
, I bring an early adopter attitude to the table and help identify innovative, out-of-the-box solutions to propel your business forward. Traditionally, innovation strategists are only accessible to large Fortune 500 companies, but with me on your team, you can have the same benefits.
You're passionate about your product or service, but some days it feels like you're spinning your wheels and barely making progress. Let me help you identify strategic and measurable goals, and together, we can create innovative plans to achieve those goals. Then, I'll assist in creating the tools, materials, and systems to make those plans a reality.
With my support, you and your business will have renewed energy and actionable steps to meet your goals.
My services for small businesses include:
Reviewing and/or creating your current strategic plan and business plan
Facilitating with your team around current metrics, challenges, and goals for each portion of your strategic plan or deliverables that support that plan.
Creating materials, processes, and tools to help support those deliverables and make them as efficient and easy to implement as possible. This can include:
Creating marketing materials or calendars
Producing toolkits
Identifying and setting up Project Management tools to support your organization's needs
Drafting policies or standard operating procedures to streamline internal processes and efficiencies
Ghostwriting blogs, press releases, or other materials
My services are billed hourly, and I typically work with clients on a not-to-exceed contract basis. I will also include regularly scheduled calls to check in on progress and receive feedback. The amount of time and cost will depend on the specific needs of your business.
