Operational Consulting Experience

COMPASS understands that a company not operating to its full potential can be more frustrating to its stakeholders than a company in crisis. COMPASS will work with your management, employees, shareholders, creditors and customers to propose and implement solutions to maximize your bottom line. We collaborate with management to curtail unprofitable ventures and emphasize or develop profitable ones. Unlike traditional management consulting firms we can not only design solutions to improve your operations, but are also able to implement our recommendations within your organization and assess the impact those changes have had on your business.

Our professionals offer vast industry experience and in-depth analytical capabilities, when assessing complex business problems. COMPASS' operational capabilities are tailored to meet unique challenges facing manufacturing organizations, service businesses and infrastructure operations.
