Business Transformation Consulting

Productivity increased. Clear line-of-site measures in place. Staff performance increased. Owner happy. Staff valued. Results excellent.
Post-merger Integration
"A private company purchased their toughest competitor. After trying unsuccessfully to integrate the companies for almost a year, they turned to KM Leadership Solutions. With Karen's guidance, the owner and senior leadership team created a combined vision, playbook, and executed the critical integration changes within 9 months. Employees especially liked that they helped design their future work. You made this integration possible for us."
Due Diligence Ready
“Working with Karen accelerated my professional development and Partnership dissolving. Wanted top dollar to sell the thriving professional services business.

Happy seller. Happy buyer.”
