About Strategic Steps, LLC

In 2009, I set up this Blog at the suggestion of a friend in support of some ad hoc business consulting.  Since that time I worked for two great organization (DuPont/Pioneer, Pella Corporation) and now feel called to return to consulting with a focus on small to medium sized companies in the areas of strategy, marketing analytics & processes, and special projects.

Strategic Steps, LLC was formed in 2018 and www.strategicstepsllc.com/ was subsequently created as a reference point that will enable growing businesses to quickly explore what I can do for them.  I've organized the offering around the following solutions:
(1) Clarify - One on one consulting to identify and assess issues that could be holding back a business
(2) Create - Developing plans to align teams and guide work.  Strategic, Business, Project, etc.
(3) Complete - Applying my experience and PMP as the catalyst to get known projects finished
(4) Collaborate - Combining my diverse experiences with customer experience to take a strategic step

I believe many growing businesses are are the cusp of being able to take a step that could take their business to the next level and I want to help them accomplish that "Strategic Step".

My goal in resurrecting this blog is to model a great devotional I see each day that delivers 2-3 compelling points in the space of one screen.  My prospective customers are busy and I think that format will be ideal.  I hope you enjoy the updates.  And I welcome your feedback.  Sincerely, CJ Osborn
