Enhancing Corporate & Individual Performance

The High Ground Consulting Practice revolves around creating a learning environment for excellence. This takes shape during the creation or refinement of a compelling vision that will inspire employees and attract support from the financial community. This is followed by building an executable strategy along with a "go to market" plan. Vision, strategy, and plan must be supported by a set of corporate values that serve to articulate and reinforce the firm's commitment to their shareholders, employees, customers, and how elements such as character and integrity are woven into the fabric of the enterprise. Further, the High Ground Team has a strong and demonstrable track record in the areas of coaching and mentoring leaders at every level, new market development and revenue acceleration from improved marketing and sales execution.

  • Leadership Development - Working with individuals and teams to discuss, learn, and implement "transformational leadership" concepts on a group and individualized basis. High Ground has conducted over twenty customized workshops for their clients.
  • Strategy Creation & Alignment - Working with executives and teams to create a "game plan" that is executable and in alignment with elements of vision and what has been established as the operating plan.
  • Coaching & Mentoring - Working with individuals and teams that are performing at unacceptable levels and those that are the "superstars" of the future and need to be prepared for more responsibilities. High Ground has undertaken almost twenty individualized coaching assignments with nine of these being at the CEO level.
  • Marketing & Sales Effectiveness - Assessing and improving all facets of the marketing and sales strategy and plan. This involves branding, demand creation, distribution channels, sales programs and tools, sales process and methodology, functional metrics, and skills development. High Ground has developed a consulting approach which includes the use of proprietary intellectual property as well as sourcing and implementing sales related training material from industry thought leaders.
  • New Product Launch - Assisting clients in launching new products into new markets through new channels and the development and deployment of effective sales programs and tools.
  • Strategic Opportunity Development - Developing and executing strategies to close major transactions with key high potential target accounts and to facilitate the development and deployment of implementation plans to support and "hand off" the client to company resources.
  • Interim & Change Management - Assume a short term day to day senior operating role as part of a specific business acceleration and/or performance improvement initiative which incorporates strategy shifts, new market development, indirect channel program activities, and a focus on improving sales and operational execution.
  • Investment Banking - Working with clients and our network of funding sources to assess and secure capital requirements dependant upon both short and longer term operating strategies as well as playing a role in merger and/or acquisition related discussions.
  • High Ground Leadership Center provides an intensive collaborative "graduate level" educational experience focusing on transformational leadership delivered in a small group classroom setting for multiple days in off work hours.

"Centrisoft engaged with High Ground to identify weaknesses in our sales model and to fix them. We then asked Mark Reed who served as our lead consultant to identify solutions that would enable our company to scale efficiently without adding extensive direct labor and infrastructure. We were very pleased with Mark's recommendations and will undoubtedly implement several of the outsourcing options he presented."
