Our competition is the status quo
Aim & Build Consulting & Development is an ethical management & organizational design consulting firm based in the Pacific Northwest.
ABCD is invested in intentional game-changing. We serve as a guide for organizations that seek an ideal path, walking alongside clients all the way from defining visions and refining goals through the execution of grand plans.
Our fiercely inclusive, data-driven approach to organizational design and corporate strategy gives our clients a competitive edge in a changing business landscape.
A philosophy of deliberate development gives us a fresh perspective: we maximize returns, deliver excellence, and develop internal cultures of success for businesses in several sectors.
The ABCD team comprises subject-matter experts who are also entrepreneurs, which means we can diagnose limiting factors at the macro-business level as well as build subject-specific solutions from the inside out.
What we do
ABCD is an agent of growth and change. We ask foundational questions: What is the cost of the conversations you’re not having? What is the cost of the problems you’re not addressing, or of the knowledge and skills the organization is lacking? The answers might not be comfortable, but real growth never is.
To that end, we consider an organization’s vision, strategy and execution in a thorough, comprehensive way, identifying and addressing barriers to growth and change, then staying involved in a plan’s execution as transformation occurs. We don’t just leave our clients with a prescription; instead, we’re actively involved in the getting-better process until the finish.
Yesterday’s business models won’t be valid for much longer. The way leaders define their visions and engage philosophically with contemporary concerns, like culture and inclusivity in the workplace, will determine their organizations’ ability to thrive in today’s world.
We identify what has been holding businesses back, then our team of experts draws a step-by-step roadmap to transform vision into practical reality. Here’s how we do it:
