Who We Are
We are a boutique consulting firm catering to the global automotive sector. Our team consists of business leaders with automotive industry experience and MBA/PHD academic acumen. Our team has deep expertise in the critical challenges and opportunities facing business leaders today.
There is no question the auto sector is facing multiple impending transformations. Digitalization and augmented reality technologies will continue to progress to where vehicles will communicate with one another amidst an intelligent roadway infrastructure.
These advances will continue to foster the pathway for autonomous vehicles, and when combined with the social changes affecting human and vehicle interaction that influence car share, it will forever change the automotive landscape.
What will new vehicle sales transactions of the future look like? Will reduced ownership result in bulk purchases by rental companies? These are some of the questions our strategy team is working with O.E.M.’s to consider. We would be pleased to develop a relationship with you and offer our industry transformation insights.
While the future of the industry is certainly worthy of deliberation, our experience suggests these shifts are not the factors limiting O.E.M. and dealership profitability today.
We believe one of the greatest threats to our industry is lack academic business education influencing dealership operations. While clearly industry experience is important, it is often short sighted, misguided, and lacks thorough comprehension of proven business academic principles. Human resource principles for example, like how to build an organizational culture or foster employee engagement and retention. Strategy principles, like how to build competitive advantage, predict competitor behavior, or target new customers through a segmentation analysis framework.
We have assessed hundreds of dealerships and most of them fall significantly short of the profitability they could achieve, due to not understanding business concepts like how to influence the consumer buying cycle, or how to implement strategies to heighten the purchase experience for specific consumers like Millennial or loyal purchasers, and therein influence repurchase rate. Many have social media platforms but lack comprehension of the essential marketing principles to effectively leverage them to generate revenue.
We can assist with these issues and more through our training and consulting services. Our business executives have deep expertise in the critical challenges and opportunities facing the auto industry, including strategy development, performance improvement, marketing, mergers and acquisitions, information technology and digitalization. Helping our partners attain outstanding results using smart, strategic, ethical, and economically sound concepts is what drives us, and we guarantee return on investment.

Research suggests that an increasing number of shoppers are not only mobile first, they are ‘mobile only’. Statistical models predict by 2025 that consumers will manage 85 percent of their business relationships without interacting with a human. more
If you could foresee how consumer trends, emerging regulation, digitalization, and supply chain disruptions in the future could impact your business, would that bring value to your organization? more
Managing organizational change is not a fashionable subject. Unless of course you have been knee-deep in transitional muck from implementing a new management system for example, that doesn’t operate as expected, and creates employee frustration or customer dissatisfaction. more
Social Media has changed the way consumers make purchase decisions long before entering a retail store. Increasingly, they research both a business and frontline staff as part of the purchase criteria. more
