How does a Reality Map engagement work?

Through this proven 4-week engagement, we validate the challenges you know you have and uncover the ones you don’t.

01

Executive Evaluation Session

We meet with the CEO to determine current perceived challenges, discuss organizational goals and objectives, and identify key internal stakeholders.                                                                                   

02

Online Organizational Assessment

Each member of the organization completes an online survey that covers five key categories of business health. Our team reviews and analyzes these results across multiple baseline metrics.

03

Targeted Stakeholder Interviews

We conduct a series of targeted interviews with key internal team members and stakeholders. These findings are summarized in a collated view and combined with the survey results in the final reporting.

04

Findings and Recommendations

We host an interactive session with the organization’s leadership team to share results and implications of the findings. We provide our recommendations for the top 3 priorities, next steps to implement, and how to track progress.

Client Testimonials

Private equity firms and CEOs have looked to A5 Advisory as a trusted advisor, seeking our help in building successful growth strategies. We’ve helped portfolio companies generate predictable revenues with healthy growing businesses that are poised for success.

We needed someone who could quickly get up to speed on our complex business and who could integrate seamlessly into our team and drive results. I knew A5 could deliver on our KPIs and program goals, but it was the intangibles that made them stand out; team building, gaining trust, and managing relationships, that effectively drove a coordinated team performance.
We engaged A5 Advisory for their ability to structure and execute guiding principles in the marketing and sales domains. Their historical experience with organizations like ours was invaluable in helping us optimize and transform for success.
They didn’t engage like a typical consultant, but rather, a member of our team, a key executive and strategic thought partner. Their efforts provided a foundation upon which we can build for years to come.
