Jim Hendrickson I've done most of what you're trying to do

I have built world class teams and am an advisor to college students and C-level executives on building their careers, finding the best fit and figuring out the next steps. If you're confused, not sure if you're in the right area, not sure what to do next or even want to think through how to explore new fields and opportunities, let's talk.

I have successfully developed and implemented business strategies that have redefined traditional businesses as well as launch new businesses. I use a business strategy approach that allow clients to define a relevant future in a way that creates a strategy, strategy to execution plans, and a simple governance approach to keeping it on track. My methods allow my clients to update their complete strategy quarterly based on the execution culture that is created. The average client takes about 15 - 20 hours to completed update. Doing this keeps the company relevant and on-track while being able to adapt to business changes ensuring their vision and strategy do not get stale.

I have over 20 years of experience of new product development, product redefinition, and developing product strategies to grow and disrupt markets. Innovations I've done or had direct impact on include B2B Integration, the creation of the first Omni-Channel technology platform and parcel "Ship from Store" capabilities.

Struggling with whether the "next big thing" is the next big bust? Most companies do. Throughout my 32 year private industry career, I taught executives how to evaluate trends and make technology choices that became catalysts for growth. Most people listen to the 'analysts' or read Gartner reports. Get information from someone who has been in the trenches and can understand what works and what doesn't.

Getting your business or partnership setup right is critical to success. Developing your operating agreement, operating plans, defining equity allocation, and making key decisions on management, span of control, and levels of authority can make the difference between success and chaos. I've set up businesses as small as $50,000 per year in revenue to over $200M that included these kinds of decisions. In 2017, I helped a private equity firm develop a strategy to create a disruptive company in the supply chain. Working with a small team, I reviewed the market, created the product strategy and then helped to build the M&A strategy that involved buy 12 companies and consolidating them into one. I joined the board during the first 18 months to ensure the company got off to a strong start. Revenues are up 12% and the current equity (full disclosure, I have equity) has gone up 15%
