Management Consulting
Producing a management strategy may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.
Our firm excels in crafting strategies for narrow issues and entire enterprises in both the public and private sectors.
Porter O’Brien can assess your organization, identify areas for improvement, and facilitate sustainable change.
Strategic Planning
Every organization, whether a publicly traded corporation, a small business, a not-for-profit, a government agency, or anything in between, benefits from strategic planning.
With a 3–5-year outlook, an effective strategic plan will help you articulate your value, vision, and mission statement as well as establish key goals with clear measurement and implementation strategies.
Organizational Design
Who should report to whom? How many employees should a manager manage? How much management is too much? How much is too little?
Porter O’Brien has led countless organizational reviews, designs, and redesigns and are experts in answering these questions.
Work with us and, together, we will build an effective structure that will help your organization succeed.
Change Management
The most common complaint we hear about organizational change is a lack of communication leading to the event.
Change can be scary and lack of buy in from your team can make a transitional process painful.
Our team of skilled professionals can work with you to ensure that your stakeholders and employees feel not only supported, but also informed and ready to embrace the need for change.
Project Management
You can’t succeed in a project unless you have a plan.
Porter O’Brien’s team of experienced project managers not only excels in mapping a process and anticipating risks, but they are also skilled in transforming unexpected challenges into big opportunities.
Together we can help you map your project, identify milestones, schedule deliverables, and efficiently move your project from the start to the finish line.
Process Improvement
“We’ve always done it that way”: the enemy of innovation, growth, and profitability.
Our firm has experience in understanding when an organization needs a complete overhaul or maybe even just a tweak in the process.
From “rightsizing” organizations to reducing budgets (without necessarily reducing personnel), Porter O’Brien can partner with you to find ways of making your business quicker, cheaper, and more effective.
