BACKGROUND

Have you ever left a meeting where everybody is in alignment but after everyone leaves the room, the momentum suddenly stalls? Even when we have the best of intentions and stakeholders are all on board in pursuit of the goal, it can be unclear who has to do what and that confusion can lead to inaction.

From his time in the corporate world and as an independent consultant, Say Do 100 Consulting founder Ray Liu noticed that he had a super power: asking really simple (even dumb) questions so that there is full clarity and understanding of the how to get where you want to be.

For Example:

During a long and productive meeting, the leaders of the IT department agreed on their next steps: they would work with finance to align budgets and develop a new process to track spend over the coming months.

"OK, who is 'finance'?" Ray asked.

A series of glances went around the room as people offered various names and eventually landed at 4 different individuals who would be pulled into this work.

Further questions came up and the discussion of next steps continued for longer than expected: "How do you spell their names? Should we meet with them, or can I help put together a spreadsheet of our budget to email them? When should we do this? What comes after?"

There was harmonious agreement in the meeting and the follow-up seemed so simple that everybody was easily aligned. Yet there was still a necessary deeper discussion on how they would actually execute. Oftentimes, a well-laid strategy can fall apart when the details aren't carefully considered-- and this is where we can step in.

Say Do 100 Consulting helps companies organize their thoughts and data to formulate a clear path to a goal, so that teams can say what they will do, and do what they said.
