Helping Innovative Teams Accomplish BIG Things

In the business world filled with BOOM and BUST, we are all hustling to achieve THE BOOM. An Innovation mindset can be used to build products, scale businesses and drive efficiencies. With a focus on Growth and Transformation, we support leaders and investors looking to accomplish big things. With experience spanning multinational public companies to venture-backed businesses nearing fundraising rounds and exits, The Boom Advisory works with teams to accomplish their goals.

Strategic Planning & Investor Assessment

Realizing smart growth and future opportunities involves fully understanding market dynamics, alongside the people, processes and products within the business. Bringing external perspectives and frameworks to work with the teams and assess and support the future path can empower better decisions.

Diverse Thinking & Innovation Enablement

Disruption and differentiation is not only the startup game. Any business can incorporate innovation and diversity best practices – lean experiments, innovation challenges and internal engagement – which can bring untapped potential to reality.

Technology & Business Alignment

As investors and business leaders seek hockey-stick growth curves, too often the technology and product teams struggle to connect their reality with that curve. Bridging the chasm between technology and the business stakeholders is critical and requires attention for any business to BOOM.

Transformation Management

As companies grow, what has made them successful is often what holds them back in the future. Any form of transformation or strategic shift can be difficult at all levels. Managing these shifts through transparency, metrics and assertive engagement can turn dysfunction into alignment and success.
