Our Approach

STORM Consulting’s approach is not based upon theory or unproven business strategies. It is based on practical firsthand knowledge and experience in solving common business problems. We provide a comprehensive suite of services and understand the importance of decisive action and the ability to quickly execute in challenging situations. Our goal is to accelerate progress: move the client ahead by actively fostering and assisting in the execution. We rapidly access the situation from a CEO or owner’s viewpoint to accomplish the following:

• Identify key problems and opportunities – gain acceptance
• Propose real-world, proven solutions
• Collaborate with management on execution
• Be prepared to show them how and assist in execution
• Achieve rapid results

A typical engagement with STORM begins with a high-level assessment to identify specific problems and to determine how we can address them. Our comprehensive review begins by focusing on key operating issues through cross-functional, in-depth discussions with all levels of management. Once we determine that we can make a significant impact, we propose how to proceed. When both parties agree on STORM’s role, we will proceed with developing and implementing tactical action plans.

STORM only accepts assignments where we meet the following criteria:

• Relevant experience
• Achieve significant impact
• Meet or exceed expectations
• Deliver what we promise
• Produce meaningful results and value for clients
