Respond to real-world issues while working hand-in-hand with business leaders turning their most difficult and frustrating challenges into clearly defined and profitable solutions

The biggest problems facing employers today cannot be fixed with tax credits and stimulus packages...

Let’s face it, owning a business is hard work. And if you ask business owners what their most difficult and frustrating problem would be, 95% would admit it’s managing people. Unfortunately, the answer is the same when you ask about the most important part of any business owners day.

Failure to effectively recruit, train, and motivate the right people and place them in the right job is believed to be the #1 reason 85% of small business owners fail within the first 5-years of startup. (Ivy Consulting Group, 2022).

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Our Approach

Recommended Small Business Development Process

STAGE I
Unlock Your Full Potential With Our Business Coaching Services!

Our coaching services focus on more than just developing leadership skills. We understand that true success comes from self-awareness and the ability to manage oneself effectively. With our coaching, you’ll learn how to tap into your full potential and become the leader you were meant to be. Gain the confidence and skills you need to tackle any challenge that comes your way. Don’t settle for mediocrity in your business. Take the next step and invest in yourself with our business coaching services.

In this stage, activities and lessons may include:
  • Business Assessment
  • Introduction to the Process
  • The ICG Roadmap
  • ICG Philosophy
  • Discovering Your Passion
  • Leadership and Self-Awareness
  • Culture Profile
  • Implementation Strategy


STAGE II

Boost your business productivity and profitability with expert coaching that improves worker motivation and engagement!

In Stage II, you and your consultant will review Position Agreements, help you communicate business strategy, focus on team building strategies, and turn your most frustrating problems into profitable solutions. In rare cases, existing employees are excited and eager to implement change. However in most, change comes with resistance and opposition. In these situations, it takes a high-level of skill and understanding of psychological principles of motivation to understand which approach to change management is best. This is where Certified Ivy Consultants shine and stand out from the rest.

With our business coaching services, you can take your company to the next level by maximizing the potential of your employees. By focusing on improving worker motivation and engagement, we can help you build a more dynamic, committed team that is driven to succeed. This means you can expect increased productivity, higher quality output, and better overall performance from your business. Plus, with motivated and engaged employees, you can reduce turnover and improve your company’s reputation as a great place to work. Investing in business coaching to improve worker motivation and engagement is a smart move that can pay off big time in the long run. Let us help you unlock the full potential of your employees and take your business to new heights of success!

In this stage, activities and lessons may include:

  • The Four Levels of Business
  • Creating Your Vision
  • Organizational Chart and Strategy
  • Market Research
  • Identifying Your Target Market and Most Profitable Client
  • Differentiating Your Business
  • Building Your Brand
  • Your Company Story



 

STAGE III
The key to any successful model relies on the company’s ability to recruit the right people, place them in the right position, and assign them to the right team. The recruitment process and assessment tool is the most difficult, time-consuming, and important processes you and your consultant will endure. However, when you do it right, your business and team performance will achieve levels that many may never have thought possible.

In this stage, activities may include:
  • Employee Assessments & Selection
  • Systems Development
  • Development of Processes and Procedure Guides
  • Team Accountability & Goal Setting
  • Review Employee Engagement
  • Employee Reviews and Feedback Systems
  • Establish High-Performance Culture


STAGE IV
The importance of documentation for a new procedure cannot be overstated. With proper documentation, you can streamline your workflow and optimize your processes, making your work easier and more efficient than ever before. Not only that, but documentation ensures that everyone involved in the procedure is on the same page, minimizing confusion and preventing costly errors.

In Stage IV, you and your consultant will review all of the processes and procedures created in the previous stages and create the most optimal platform for delivery. Whether it’s in a shared document, a printed guide, or in an online Learning Management System, we will streamline your training program to maximize your teams performance!

Activities and lessons in this stage may include:
  • Technology in Training
  • Creating Games Your Employees Want to Play
  • Sales and Marketing Systems
  • Your Quality Control Systems


STAGE V

Like Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs, we like to refer to this stage as Business Actualization. Achieving this level of success means your business has been built in a way that adds to your life and provides the income, flexibility, and freedom to live the life you’ve always wanted. This is the goal of most business leaders we encounter and will be the primary focus your consulting team will take every step of the way!

In this stage, activities may include:

  • The Power of Perception
  • Your Bucket List and Having Time
  • Priorities and Living with No Regrets
  • Supplemental Lesson Plans
