Sharing An Owner's Perspective
Challenging economic times weigh more heavily on closely
held and family businesses than investor owned and public
corporations. Decisions for these companies are not just
numbers, but people and future generations.
Having been a business owner for over 30 years, EVV
Management relates well to owners and employers. Often
our spouses, key employees, or business partners are our
only sounding board for difficult decisions. But they have
the same concerns and the same stresses that the leader has.
EVV Management provides an objective view from an owner's
perspective.
Focus on Critical Activities
EVV Management focuses on critical business activities and
functions. Success is often about tradeoffs: more sales vs.
more profitable ones or tactical short term actions vs.
strategic long term advantage.
Mobilizing Employees for Change
A firm's own employees usually are aware of the business
situation and understand that difficult decisions must be
made. In my experience, many are supportive of doing the
right thing for the company. Communication can mobilize
employee support for needed changes.
Part of my job is to identify and motivate those employees to
use their full potential.
Sweet Spot - Industry Experience
Target clients are closely-held and family owned companies
with up to $25m in revenues and up to 100 full time
employees. EVV Management will consider startup and
early stage firms depending upon industry and market
segment.
See the Success Stories page for a few examples of industries
and client companies.
