Strategic Growth

We help teams adapt to changing market needs by designing strategies, services, and solutions that uncover new opportunities and deliver transformational growth.

Leading Transformation

Every organization hits a crossroads that demands answers, especially in a changing world that requires new approaches.

Often, leaders face pressure to make strategic decisions before they have enough information to see challenges through fresh eyes. Without new perspectives, teams struggle to see new opportunities.

Align helps leaders uncover missing information and turn it into creative options for growth. We partner with teams to uncover, design, and plan strategic growth opportunities that create new value for stakeholders. We guide clients through a process that leads to new programs and services, business plans to expand and serve new markets, and strategic plans that move the needle on complex challenges.

Client Success

  • “ I really like how you started with the customer needs and our value proposition instead of budget and revenue goals. I can see how this new strategy will lead to revenue growth because we’ll be offering more of what our clients want. ”

    — Bruce Newell, CEO, MANTEC

  • “ We couldn’t be more excited about the new direction. This will take a lot of work, but you’ve given us such a solid framework for what needs to be done and the team is really owning it.”

    — Jessica Muoff, President, United Way Suncoast

  • “ You took all of our ideas, turned it into a cohesive plan that was right for us, then helped us roll out critical projects.”

    — Mike Molla, President, Pennsylvania College of Art & Design

  • “ The Strategic Plan you created for us is working! We’ve grown membership and revenue, had success with our new programs, and even attracted new board members. I wanted you to know that a year later, your work has made a big difference!”

    — Ann Hughes, President, Technology Council of Central PA

  • “ I was stressed and overwhelmed when I met you. You provided the structure and support I needed to start scaling up with the right people and right priorities.”

    — Cindy Swank, CEO, Swank Early Skills Development
