“I’m very grateful for the work SparkBase Consulting provided to help my leadership team. We needed to create a strategic plan to envision our growth and reach for the future. Mike was able to come in, clarify our unified vision, and help the group create tangible steps to take to see that vision to fulfillment.”

Our services
Strategic Planning
A strong strategic plan helps leaders know where the organization needs to go and keep their teams moving in the right direction. We love helping your company envision this future.
We take a different approach than most strategic planning firms, which use an overly-elaborate process that takes too long, creates a rigid document that doesn’t allow for change, and fails to produce tangible next steps. Instead, we work with your leadership and stakeholders to create a vision that allows for change as time passes, and includes concrete short, medium, and long-term steps.
Finally, as part of our normal process, we sit down with you 6 months later to review your progress and discuss any course-correction that you might need.
Early Stage Project Launch
When a company wants to launch a new program, they need a unique set of skills in the first six to twelve months of an idea’s life cycle. Often time, the team has all the necessary technical and industry experience, but it needs someone to hold the pieces together and get the right processes in place.
At SparkBase Consulting, we shepherd your idea through the early stages, creating stable processes and infrastructure to ensure success. Once the project can stand on its own, we smoothly transition it back to your team for long-term management.
This approach ensures a new idea gets the attention it needs without the risk of long-term staffing changes. Once you see the new project come together, you’ll have a better idea of how it fits into your overall organizational strategy.
Customer Journey Mapping
Companies grow when their audience grows, but many companies don’t have an organized audience growth process. Beginning with your long-term vision, we first audit your customer engagement processes to ensure they align with that vision. We then build a plan to eliminate gaps and tie all of your customer touch points together in an efficient path.
This results in deeper customer relationships and more of them, fueling your growth.
