StebStrategies is in the business of serving as our clients' sounding board. We're a safe outlet to which decision makers can turn to brainstorm ideas, explore options, and think through possible consequences—while knowing that what is discussed will never be shared outside the confines of the established client relationship. We provide an outside perspective for you to consider prior to making major decisions that could have wide-reaching consequences throughout your organization or could make or break a particular project or initiative. StebStrategies is focused on one thing: the best possible outcome for your organization and your customers.

TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT EACH OF THESE QUESTIONS:

• What is the "canary in the coal mine" for your organization?

• Do your customers understand the value that your organization brings to theirs?

• Can all stakeholders in your company fluidly articulate the mission and vision of your organization?

• Do you know from one month to the next what path you and your company should be taking?

• What is the most damaging thing that could happen to your organization?

• Do you accurately understand how your company gets things done?

• Where is your company's intellectual property and institutional memory located?

• Do your policies and procedures support the mission and vision of your organization?

• What are you possibly missing that could make a significant difference to the success or failure of your efforts?

• With regard to your business, what keeps you up at night?

• What does success for your company look like to you?

• Do you ever wish you had someone available from outside your organization who is an experienced, competent person you can trust—someone who can provide you with sound advice based on simple, brutal truth?
