Turning Point Solutions

Strategic Management

Turning Point Solutions is often called upon to apply professional and educational experience to the operational challenges facing start-ups and small businesses. This support comes in various forms as follows:

Executive Coaching
Many senior executives have extensive knowledge of their product but lack a background in operations. TPS is ready to apply its extensive background in manufacturing, customer support and marketing to augment the knowledge base of senior executives. This support is especially effective given TPS experience with five start-up organizations over the past twenty years. Senior executives often find it valuable to have a sounding board who is knowledgeable but not "on staff".
Temporary Staff
TPS personnel are sometimes ask to function as staff until the right permanent staff member is found.
Strategic Planning
TPS personnel are highly effective at applying both technical and business background to the development or improvement of a company's overall business plan.
