Appendix A

All businesses run best when these “Four Decisions™” are made correctly:

  1. People: Build your team’s high-performance culture
  2. Strategy: Build a business model that is profitable and drives growth.
  3. Execution: Stay focused and implement all the critical elements of your strategy.
  4. Cash: Keep a strong cash flow to drive growth.

In pursuit of your goals, we will first identify them clearly to develop and implement your “One Page Strategic Plan.” We will then help align your long-term business goals and the required short-term actions.

As we develop the One Page Strategic Plan, we will identify specific needs within your company related to People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. As opportunities for business growth arise, we will work together to transfer the necessary skills and knowledge to resolve the situation and maximize the opportunities. During this time, we will identify knowledge gaps and seek to fill them.

What People Are Saying About our Scaling Up™ Course:

I met Ken on our first day of TEC boot camp. We bonded immediately. Ken's passion for everything--but especially helping others is apparent in everything he does. Ken has also been a resource speaker for my TEC groups and was fantastic. Whether as a Coach, Keynote or motivational speaker or TEC Chair, Ken is the best.
John R. Howman
CEO Coach & Management Consultant
I lead a COO group in Calgary and we welcome a new speaker each month to share some relevant topics with us in a limited time. Ken was a stand out from the last few years for sure! He is one of the few who scored highly from all members on his passion for his material, the level of the content and his skill and expertise to deliver the content in a meaningful way. We loved what he shared so much we bought the book and are using it as a discussion point at our annual retreat. I would highly recommend bringing Ken into your group of leaders to shift their thinking and truly understand the simple and powerful steps for execution.
Aly Pain
Professional Speaker, The Conflict Coach
Ken facilitates transformational learning. He doesn’t provide answers; he simply asks the right questions. You walk away with a better understanding of yourself.
