If your CEOs and EDs don’t do their research, you could easily fall prey to snake oil salesmen.

Consulting

When you sign on for Blackfish Consulting, you’re opening the door to a long-term relationship.  Contracts last from three months to two years and will involve all your people.  Together, we’ll look at the grand scheme – your overall company vision and your plans to get there.
 
Our Consulting Program isn’t for individual training.  We focus on total team strategy.  Consultants will be on-site at least twice each month.  Professional fees are invoiced monthly at a set rate (plus travel and supplies cost).
 
Some of our team-oriented programs are outlined below.  We’re happy to help you select the best program for you.
