Research

All Rodney Solutions Project Leaders possess an MBA or PhD in business. Contributing to academic research is an important component of our corporate value system. The strategic business research interests of our team leaders vary across a wide variety of important subjects. Discussed below is one of our team academic interests: micro-firm strategy.

Micro-Firm Strategy

"Micro-Firms" are defined as businesses that have ten or fewer employees. These businesses account for the vast majority of existing enterprises and create over 75% of new jobs in America and Canada. Indeed, Micro-Firms represent a robust business segment that is responsible for most new ventures in North America. The intrepid owners of these firms may be regarded as the hardest working, most versatile executives in the economy.

In large companies it is the responsibility of senior management to engage in long term planning and to set the strategic direction of the company. There are teams of very specialized individuals that spend the bulk of their time analyzing the business climate, studying competitors and searching for new business opportunities. When these esoteric groups face unique challenges or new business questions that are beyond their management scope, they often hire consultants who have extensive experience in specific areas of commerce. Virtually all Fortune 500 companies have used or regularly use professional consultants at one time or another.

Rodney Solutions' Project Leaders knows that no business managers have more draws on their time than Micro-Firm owners. They are often so involved in the day-to-day running of their enterprises that they do not have time to engage in formal strategic or long term planning. The size of small businesses makes them very light and agile and they are able to best adapt to new business ideas and implement them quickly and successfully. But they are often mortally occupied or so myopically close to a venture that they cannot see the opportunity "forest" for the daily business requirement "trees."

Rodney Solutions has numerous programs that will help small businesses leverage their strengths to see real growth in their bottom line. With our strategic consulting packages, no less than once a month we hold an in-depth STAG meeting (Sessions to Achieve Greatness). During these sessions we will delve into what makes your company prosper and provide valuable insight towards that end. Our strategic consulting is one-on-one, personal and powerful. You can rely on our expertise to augment your business ideas, get the perfect wording for your advertising campaign, or have graphics designed through our design team. You have an accountant, lawyer and banker; it's time that you had a strategic teammate as well. No one works as hard as Micro-Firm owners - No one works harder for Micro-Firm owners than Rodney Solutions.
