Executive Advisory
Executive Advisory provides the insight that your managers can’t, or won’t give you.
Get unfiltered and experienced observation, insight and advice with one goal in mind – delivering the results you want.
Executives have a strategic mandate.
You need unfiltered and accurate information for the best decisions.
Our Executive Advisory gives you the insight needed to make decisions and lead change.
You can’t be on the front lines. Reports can be flawed, miss the mark, or even misleading – they focus on tactics, not results.
Management goals are tactical and driven by departmental targets. You need a strategic, not tactical, take on what’s going on. For best results, you need it in real time.
Alignment between strategic goals and what happens on the ground is needed to achieve results.
- Leaders need to “rock the boat”
- Big results require big improvements and some risk
- Managers are naturally risk averse, inclined to slow, incremental changes
- Perceived risk slows managers down, perceiving slow and steady as safe
- We can bridge that gap with our decades of experience
Let us be your trusted advisor.
A solid business case alone isn’t enough. To get real results, you must lead the change. Resistance from managers is inevitable, and the stability they prioritize will need shaking.
Different thinking and action are essential.
As Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Change is uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. Let us help you handle it.
Change requires a fresh perspective.
Managers are trained to keep things steady, avoid risk, and move slowly. Many lack experience with large-scale, cross-functional change. Most organizations are set up to be over-managed and resistant to change.
Big-name consultancies.
You could call on the large consultancies. They excel in strategy but often struggle with implementation, and they focus heavily on technology—where the billable hours are. Yet, their smart MBAs and tech experts can overlook people and processes, treating technology as the driver of change when it’s simply a tool.
Conscious Asset focuses on processes and people. We keep things simple and only bring in technology when it truly adds value.
We are your specialists
Maintenance and reliability is a highly specialized field—not typically covered in engineering or business schools. We’ve been perfecting it for years, and we teach it. Turn to the best.
Even big consultancies reach out to us for help.
How we work.
We are your eyes and ears on the ground, keeping you informed on what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to do about it. Our experience, built on years of successes and setbacks, eliminates costly mistakes from trial-and-error approaches. The “can-do” mindset of many consultants, engineers, and managers often leads to disappointment and blame.
We help you avoid that. With over 400 years of combined experience in the field and in guiding change, we know what works.
Without us, the odds are against you.
Our book, *Uptime for Executives*, explains what happens, why it happens, and why internal changes often fall short. Written specifically for executives, it’s a quick read (about an hour), perfect for a short flight. It’s available in multiple languages, along with our other books.
Our greatest successes come when we work closely with the executive sponsor and decision-maker. Executive advisory is an essential part of our Conscious Asset Model, our unique approach to working with major clients.
