In 2005, Marc Koehler was brought in to turn around a struggling $7M US-based manufacturing company. He quickly identifies that the business analysis tools he is using for this small firm are drowning it. He decides to go back to his time as a US Nuclear Submarine Officer and recognizes many similarities. Both his sub & the business have a mission, a small team, limited resources, and a dynamically changing environment.
With similar conditions, why was the submarine successful, able to accomplish so much under extreme conditions? What tools did it use? What were its best practices? Marc decides that he can apply the same leadership approach and tools to the struggling company. The results are tremendous. He sees the same team of people who were struggling before, lead the company back to stability and profitability.
Over the next 10 years, Marc has similar success in many other small businesses he is brought in to turnaround. He refines the tools into a system and discovers type or size of business don't matter, the tools are universal whether you are a $10M Manufacturer, a $4M Law Firm, a $110M Service Company, or a $5M Non-Profit.
