Every business needs a strategy. Over time it's not unusual for a business to drift away from its original course. The business environment can quickly change making old strategies obsolete. When this happens your business needs to respond.

Strategic planning is also necessary when a new opportunity presents itself. You'll need to organize your people and resources for maximum effect. Figuring it out as you go rarely works.

The analysis will focus on what is unique to your business. You’ll get a custom roadmap to help you avoid unnecessary costs and make your efforts more focused and profitable.

Information Systems

Do you ever feel like you are making decisions without the facts you need? Do you worry that important information is missing?

It's a classic needle in the haystack problem. Somewhere in all the data you’re collecting are those key metrics you need to monitor in order to successfully guide your business. The rest of the data is often just a distraction from what's important.

If you were looking for real needles in a real haystack, there's only one simple tool that will do the trick - a magnet! A magnet clearly focuses on what's important. Likewise, a sharp focus on the key metrics is vital to your business.

At Ed Noyes Consulting we know how to analyze your processes and help you find those informational needles. We will then design a management reporting system to help you confidently make all your important decisions.

The online landscape is rapidly changing. Providing the best possible experience for your customers while maintaining security and a competitive edge is a challenge for any organization. Does your online presence need a few simple tweaks, a complete overhaul, or ongoing support?

At Ed Noyes Consulting we have the experience and expertise you need. Visit this portfolio to see examples of our work.

Second Opinions

More than pros and cons, a fresh perspective can give you important clarity when you’re confronted with a tough decision. Having an experienced expert on your side, can make a big difference. If the decision is important to you, it’s always worth a second opinion.
