CloverNord Management Consulting specializes in developing and managing small business solutions that improve operations, increase profits and reduce inefficiency: - Human Resources -- employing systems that create happy and engaged business stakeholders. Small businesses need the right people doing the right things the right way at the right time. We offer tools to help your employees develop both personally and professionally while establishing accountability for both functions and processes. We guide leaders to help people play to their strengths, set clear expectations, show your employees what "right" looks like, and give appropriate recognition. - Strategic Planning -- driving sustainable growth in revenue and gross margins by thinking about the big picture. It starts with a vision and is followed by an analysis of the competitive environment. We'll examine your core customers, your products/services, and what your company's brand is really all about. This will drive what differentiates you in the marketplace and helps to identify your key performance indicators (KPIs). From here, we can look long-term: 10-25 years out. - Execution -- ensuring operations, sales and marketing processes are running smoothly. This is accomplished by first ensuring the everyone is properly aligned with this quarter's #1 priority.

We'll examine your cash conversion cycle and determine cash acceleration strategies.
