Services
Executive Coaching (Intensive Companywide Consulting)
We offer intensive, central-constraint-focused, company-wide, business-hassle-and-risk-slaying-while-tripling-your-firm’s-value-in-3-years consulting services. Please see the Why Us? sections for a feel of their effectiveness on our client’s businesses.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Exit Planning
Many business buyers HATE Exit planning, where you capture both the proverbial low-hanging fruit and systemically de-risk the operation BEFORE the sale because that is what THEY want to do AFTER buying the business from you at a discounted price!
Manufacturing Consulting Services, Inc. will coach you to both capture the low-hanging fruit in your business by finding and relaxing 4-6 sequential Central Constraints as well as coaching you to mitigate many common business risks. The object of the game is, as far as possible, to be attractive to at least one, and as possible to more than one strategic buyer where your firm adds both present and future value to their firm vs. being attractive only to financial buyers where they are trying to talk you down to the lowest selling price. Call us for a free 60 minute consultation on how this works.
Inbound Acquisition
For the right group of investors in connection with the right opportunity to purchase a business that could be profitably turned around by these methods, Mr. Ward will arrange the acquisition and direct the turnaround.
