Steve introduced us to the SIXFAIR Ventures methodology, and we’ve used it to develop a strategic and business plan for our new start-up company. The tools and approaches are simple to complete, powerful in their clarity, and easily support resulting decisions and directions. Feedback on plan diligence from potential investors/lenders has been extremely positive. I’m a believer. If your organization is in need of strategy help, this process can help.
We were faced with an immediate need for second generation financing. Recommended by our lawyers, Steve came in to help my 50-person organization understand our situation. In 90-days he led us through his process to better understand our markets, segments and niches – and then how to address our product/service offerings and manufacturing strategies to serve them. He helped create and structure our strategic plan to also double as our well-received “pitch deck” to new investors. Not only did we successfully obtain the needed financing, but by following the plan we are now on track to actually double our revenues in 2019.
I’ve known Steve for about 12 years now, and every chance I’ve had to work with him and watch him in action with a group of executives never ceases to amaze me. His ability to grasp the needs of his audience (whether a management team or EMBA students), then take really tough challenges and reduce these to simple tools that people can get their heads around - leading to good decisions and better results – is unique. In my view, he is a genius at strategy, and it has been a privilege to learn from him over the years we’ve worked together.
Their [SIXFAIR’s] actionable tools enable companies to quickly improve their strategy and ultimately their company’s value. I have seen first-hand the power of these techniques in practice, and the results were amazing.
Having had the pleasure of working with Steve and his team, and more importantly, having benefitted directly as an investor, I can attest to the quality of his work.
