Solid Oak Action Plan

Sustainable Operation - If Your Business Cannot Operate And Even Improve Without You, You Have A Problem.

Over 30 years of business experience has shown me there are business basics which when mastered, result in success even for the small business start-up.

Solid Oak Consulting's Action Plan Program for business success is based on hard won experience and research from many organizations including: the Institute for Independent Business, the Small Business Administration, Harvard Business School, the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Inc. Magazine, the Economist, Dun and Bradstreet and the Coleman Entrepreneurial Center of De Paul University among others.

The Action Plan Program begins with a comprehensive, but rapid assessment of key functions and issues in the business. This assessment forms the basis for a set of action plans designed to focus effort and investment on the most critical areas for success.

One part of the Action Plan Program is a focus on repeatable processes. The technician worries about today. The manager worries about tomorrow. But an owner worries about a legacy - "What will happen when I'm gone?"

Development of a set of repeatable processes from the very start insures the company can and will continue to be successful well into the future: it is sustainable.

The Solid Oak Action Plan considers 13 key areas of business:
