WHY ENGINE90?

Great companies become great through managing a combination of strategic breakthroughs and operational speed. The strategic breakthrough is what usually put the company on the map in the first place. And operational speed comes through doing more of the same more quickly and more efficiently. It’s what drives margins.

Engine90 was designed to address the reality that we’ve all been essentially brainwashed to define a successful strategy as discovering a profitable, scalable model, then doing more of the same, as fast as you possibly can. The challenge arises when doing the same thing faster collides headfirst into strategic unknowns or missed opportunities to maximize operational initiatives underway: unexpected competitors, changing trends, disruptive innovations, internal roadblocks. You know the drill, and you dread missing the next strategic fork or operational milestone in the road.

When you’re navigating on the frontlines of business, successful strategic and operational alignment requires quarterly flashes of information, insight and action. The trouble is when you’re going full speed ahead on your implementation roadmap it’s incredibly difficult to slow down long enough to take a proper look around, identify strategic shifts and change gears in time to make a difference. Engine90 overcomes these business and organizational roadblocks through making it possible to achieve periodic strategic and operational refreshes in a timely, cost-effective and minimally disruptive manner.

Engine90 delivers real time strategic and operational refreshes through having totally rethought the process of gaining a cross-functional assessment of organizational strengths, weaknesses, and dependencies. Through harnessing the power of appreciative inquiry and design thinking, companies are able to gain a clear, cross-functional view of what needs to happen to unlock significant growth potential, achieve organizational alignment and drive EBITDA. It combines this assessment with a clear line of site action plan that enables companies to start doing things differently “next Tuesday.”

Through embracing an anti-consulting approach, Engine90 is able to achieve organizational clarity, alignment and momentum in a way that creates shared understanding and commitment among the leadership team. Rather than the disruption and polarization that can result from traditional consulting approaches. All of this is achieved in just 90 days and for $90K. The speed and cost effectiveness of an Engine90 engagement ensures that the learnings are able to be surfaced and applied at the speed of business and in a way that actually solves problems as they present themselves.
