Consulting & Mentoring

Harold’s approach involves a team effort. By utilizing management’s input, customer focus group sessions and employee meetings, we are able to gather and analyze real information and deal with the problem and implement practical solutions. Harold provides consulting services to businesses that need a professional second objected opinion from time-to-time.

In today’s business environment, people can make the difference. It’s critical that products, services and employee performance directly support customer expectations. If this is not happening, it’s imperative to identify the issues and resolve them quickly (see side bar). 

Harold Mentoring and Consulting

Strategic Planning Get-A-Way

The ultimate objective of Harold Lloyd Presents’ Strategic Planning “Get-A-Way” is to develop a unified focus within the organization.

Management and key assocates create (or edit) an inspirational Mission Statement. Then, as a group, they identify their Strategic Points of Difference. These Points of Difference are fully defined and explained every member of the organization in the weeks and months that follow.

One of the by-products of the two day “Get-A-Way’ is the establishment of strategic committes – one for each Strategic Points of Difference. These committes meet monthly to continue to develop the programs that will bring the Strategic Points of Difference to life at store level. They will also establish benchmarks and measurements mechanisms to monitor progress.

The A.R.R.O.W. Program

ARROW is an acronym for A Review and Re-evaluation of Operations Week. HLp’s A.R.R.O.W. Program is a week-long commitment to ‘dig in’ and determine where the opportunities to improve operations and profitability are located. Better known for his seminars and presentations, Harold enjoys this program because of the amount of time it allows for him to find the ‘ticks’ that are causing the ‘itch’.

Arriving early Monday and departing late Friday allows for ample time to analyze the company’s Mission Statement and Strategic Plan, to do on-site, store evaluations, to assess Department Manager meetings and to coach managers on how to do performance reviews correctly.
