Scenario: A young and developing high-end IT consultancy is emerging as a unique and growing regional player in the southeast US. The founders and management team are exceptionally strong engineers, PhDs and IT consultants but they desire help with their business, product and market development strategies, as well as the implementation and execution of the strategies. They are running the company effectively but are also looking to ramp-up their management capabilities without hiring experienced C-Suite executives or entrepreneurs. They are looking for a temporary solution to provide this capability as well as business and leadership development services.

Back office operations and systems are being developed with future growth and infrastructure requirements in mind.
