Jim Riley

Background

I enjoyed a long and productive executive career at a Fortune 500 company. During that career I excelled in a wide variety of functions – Operations, Supply Chain Distribution, International Expansions, Corporate Sales and Marketing, Human Resources and Industrial Engineering. I had the ability to quickly identify the essential elements missing in underperforming business units and to develop creative solutions to return them to long term success. Post corporate career, I started my own mentoring company because I knew that many business owners cannot or will not use the services of top consultant firms. These owners know they need help but don’t know where to turn. I eagerly knew I could help them because I have walked in their shoes as they face the puzzle of business.

Style

While my clients come from numerous industries, they share common issues:

• They don’t identify or measure the key elements of their business
• There are no set goals
• Employees don’t work together as a team

Working in a collaborative way with my clients, I teach them how to:

• Prioritize key business elements
• Create strategies for success
• Establish measuring tools for regular oversight of the key elements
• Develop goals for the company as a whole and for any major business units
• Train the company managers on the value of holding each other accountable for the overall company success. This needs to trickle down to all hourly employees.
