The usual suspects

When we start a company we often overlook one or all of the above and that's fine. Getting results is crucial and should always be the first hurdle to achieve.

Yet, at some point, you may start to feel that missing either of them starts impacting either internally - within your team OR externally - with your customers, products, or services. All my customers where I have provided my services had this issue and we are speaking of more than 20 customers ranging from expanding startups to international corporations.

What are we talking about?

Your vision

is where are you going? Where do you see yourself, the team, the company, the product in X amount of time? It is having a wishful macro approach to your goals. This impacts mainly your investors, board, and managers as their purpose are to execute on a micro level the macro vision.

Your mission

is what you strive for, relentlessly, every day. What are you doing differently than everyone else and most importantly what do you want your products to be and customers to feel? This involves mainly your team as they are the people on the mission.

Your values

are the tools that you and your team use daily to reach your vision and achieve your mission. Values are attractive especially to conscious customers and future hires.

What's the job?

We understand together the stakeholders that must impact the creation of your vision, mission, and/or values.

You probably already had some internal talks, meetings, workshops, scribbled some things down, or even implemented everything. Basically, we look at what has already been done and understand what does not feel right or what is missing.

I provide some proprietary homework for each stakeholder.

We meet all together either digitally or physically and get cracking on individual ideas through a 2-3 hour workshop. Our agenda will be held as I am versed in managing such meetings. The main purpose is to unify the inputs of all the team.

I take the findings and come back with propositions for the stakeholders to choose from. Having an external, like myself, provide a new approach usually brings some fresh air and creates creative sparks (speaking with experience;)

Lastly, we speak implementation. Do's and don'ts and whatever will help get it done.

Naturally, this is not an exact science and I adapt to the team and requirements.

Pricing & timeline

A vision or mission each takes a minimum of 2 days of work spread over a maximum of 2 weeks.

Values, as they often include different people from your team, can take up to 4 weeks to deliver.
