Imagine your business as a ship sailing the ocean. The ocean represents the markets you serve, characterized by quiet seas or rough waves, strong currents, shifting winds, occasional storms, and few markers to guide your way. Now, imagine the captain and crew not knowing the best route to get to their destination. They haven’t charted a course, don’t know what risks or challenges lie ahead, haven’t calculated what provisions will be needed, and don't have any navigational instruments to gauge their progress or confirm they’re on the right path. They simply intend to rely on their personal experience, knowledge, and instincts. Sounds risky, right? This is what it’s like to run your business without a carefully crafted strategic plan.

What Makes IM体育足球下载 Different?

IM体育足球下载 is mission-based, meaning we exist not to make a profit, but to support the health and vitality of the manufacturing sector in Northeast Ohio. We do this one client and one engagement at a time by impacting your business in meaningful and measurable ways.

Consequently, we don't overprice or upsell our services. We ask our clients after every engagement to grade our performance and the impact we're making on their business, and we do this repeatedly for three years to ensure our work is generating the expected results over the long term. Our financial sponsors and partners require this level of accountability and scrutiny. If we aren’t helping your top and bottom line in impactful ways, we aren’t fulfilling our mission. We're proud to say we've helped companies thrive for more than 36 years.

“We faced many different challenges, from operational and systemic problems within our manufacturing processes to turnover issues with employees. I initially thought a consultant would come in and use a lot of data to drive results. But IM体育足球下载 came in, sat with me and my team, and asked a series of simple, engaging questions to understand our business. [They] worked with me to figure out problems ranging from employee retention to financial impact to plant floor metrics. It’s really refreshing to work with someone like that.”
