Present

We're returning to our BADASS roots, proven and ready to bring Culture Change and Sustainable Success to your organization. We're engaging select companies and organizations as guides, like no others on the planet. We are Sherpas, guiding leaders and teams on their own journey toward BADASS breakthroughs.

To us, BADASS is not a bully. It simply means having the courage to tell the truth and take bold action, even when it's uncomfortable; values like honesty, grit, and accountability; not self-serving swagger. We know we're not a fit for everyone, and that's okay.

We're built for the bold ones with the fortitude to move NOW, not for those waiting until the moment seems safe. We're BADASS with a successful, proven approach of Continual Improvement for Social Responsibility - CISR (sounds like scissor) Methodology, and our

6-Phase SOFAIR Method. This is an evolution of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Method, combined with other proven methodologies, including TRIZ (Russian acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving).

Our first steps center around a complete assessment of ALL Stakeholders, internal and external, up and down your value chain. We then work with your organization to identify the key initiatives, selected from a sea of possibilities. These Focused Initiatives reflect your organization’s Mission, Vision and Core Values, which we might reconfigure in the Stakeholder Identification Phase.

Focused Initiatives are comprised of multiple, iterative, interconnected SOFAIR Projects. Through initial projects, teams gain hands-on immersion of this Method - not just theory. Each project accelerates from artifacts of tools completed in previous projects and the team gains the skills to swiftly move through the process. We also encourage the decision to shelve or even kill projects early and often, if the conditions are not in place for success. No time is wasted on projects without sufficient stakeholder support or the resources to go further. Perhaps its time would come later, but we focus on velocity; anything that bogs down upward progress is cleared from the decks.

Real results emerge as Expert Sherpa lead your organization's own multidisciplinary teams to generate bold, tailored innovative solutions for your organization’s specific challenges. This plants roots, so internal teams grow, lead, and eventually carry their own projects forward; this occurs when we complete our Strategy Kick-Start 1-2-3 Process, and begin training Project Leaders. We include leadership and change-making frameworks in our methodology. Throughout the process, positive Culture Change takes root and teams become more collaborative, engaged, and eager to bring discretionary effort to their roles. The summit they are climbing, even when we are guiding, is still theirs; not ours.
