Achieve Growth & Operational Excellence with m2square Services
My advisory approach is built on three essential pillars, customized for the specific needs of privately held SMBs (20-250 employees) in the Portland Metro Area:
Strategic Leadership & Business Growth
You’re not just fighting fires; you’re building a future. I provide the experienced CEO-level guidance to optimize your current operations, identify hidden ROI in your existing systems, and develop clear, actionable growth plans aligned with your vision. Think of me as your fractional Chief Innovation Officer (CINO), providing the tech leadership you need without the full-time commitment.
Operational Efficiency & Optimization
Let’s transform those frustrating bottlenecks into smooth, efficient processes. We leverage proven methodologies like Lean/Six Sigma, combined with smart technology integration, to eliminate waste, boost team performance, and establish the key metrics that drive real improvement.
AI-Powered Digital Transformation (The Practical Way)
The potential of AI is real, but the implementation shouldn’t be a headache. We cut through the hype and focus on leveraging existing, proven AI tools to automate tasks, gain powerful insights from your data, and enhance your customer experience. It’s about tangible results, not just the latest trends.
