Strategic Review
Our Strategic Planning and Execution programs can help your leadership team to maintain focus on key objectives and resolve issues quickly to improve the overall performance of your company.
Strategic Review
If you already have a strategic planning process and would just like an external review from someone with extensive experience in the system integration business to test your strategy and goals, we can ask the the tough questions and provide feedback that can help you:
- Align with industry trends
- Keep pace with the latest developments in the systems integration business
- Identify new ways to overcome your growth challenges
- Improve your offerings to deliver growth and profitability
Our team here at Exotek bring knowledge from direct hands-on experience in engineering and control automation. Our consultants have owned integration firms, delivered large-scale projects, and managed successful companies. In other words, we understand your business and we understand your industry. More importantly, you can use all this knowledge to your advantage. Whether you need help getting back on track or planning for growth in the future, Exotek is here to help.
Strategic Review Engagement
In a typical engagement, we will review your plans and then participate in a 1-2 hour discussion. We will provide feedback based on our knowledge of customer dynamics, system integration trends, latest in SI business practices, and more.
Additional Strategic Planning and Execution Options
Strategy to Execution
We facilitate your efforts to make the right choices about your company’s purpose, your customers, your goals, and your resources. It isn’t a single event, but rather an integral part of an on-going process that you review annually, then modify as needed, and use throughout the year to drive your organization forward.
“Companies can get by with sloppy execution if they have a killer strategy or highly dedicated people willing to work 18-hour days, eight days per week to cover up all the slop… if you are the latter, just recognize you’re wasting a lot of profitability and time (i.e., you’ll burn both cash and people in the process)!”

Jim Campbell
President, Viewpoint Systems
“Exotek moderated our strategic planning last year and did a great job keeping us on track, working through sticking points, and leaving us with actionable items. We followed many of the Traction principles and found it to be a worthwhile blend of long-term planning and short-term, realistic goals.”
Markus Solbach
Managing Partner, Noffz
We have increased our business with double digit growth each year and we doubled our head count since working with Exotek.
Frank B. Riordan
President, DMC, Inc.
During the past five years of working with Exotek, DMC has expanded from one to five offices, from less than 30 people to over 100, and more than tripled our revenue and profits. Exotek’s vast industry knowledge, keen perspective and spot-on advice is a big part of that growth.
Alan Smith
Managing Director, Amfax
As Amfax pumped an increased number of projects through an incrementally changing ‘flat structure’, we could not achieve sustained growth and kept bouncing off the $5-7 M ceiling. The support, insight and vision offered by Exotek during the thorough audits provided an action plan for our improvements to deliver 200% growth in 5 years.
Bob Jacobs
Founder and Board Chairman, VI Engineering, Inc.
Exotek has helped VIE on best practices, stabilizing our business model, improving our organization, and adopting performance metrics.
