Our Business is to Help You Fix Your Business
Lodestone understands that most organizations are built by the sheer willpower of its founders. Nose to the grindstone every day. Business grows. Staff expands. Responsibilities pile up. Suddenly, there’s too much to do and no time to step back and figure out how to get back on track. So you spin in circles, working harder than ever, but getting few rewards.
“Epiphanies are costly, but the wise find them at half price.”
~Mark Whitmore
We work hard to get you to see what previously has been unseen. which makes all the difference. Hires, fires, culture change, strategy change all spring from the sudden epiphany that you’ve been doing it wrong. We are in the business of “getting the lights to come on.”
Customization on top of a proven framework.
Frameworks are extremely important, but often unforgiving. We see them as a skeleton on which to build unique, custom-fitted tools. All of our work revolves around getting tools to fit your hand as an operator, so that you can do your best work.
