Strategic Development

The team at Harbour Results identified what we were doing right as well as opportunities for improvement. They played an important role in achieving alignment among Falcon’s leadership, developing a five-year plan and holding us accountable for implementing the strategies within that plan. They have put us on the path to being a more data-driven organization poised to achieve the growth we want to achieve. We have high expectations and they have delivered.

Stress Testing Your Business

The manufacturing industry is facing a number of challenges, including an uncertain economy, trade and tariff instability, growing competition, and a rapidly changing marketplace.

In this type of landscape, it is necessary for a business to determine its strength through a “stress test” – how your company will react to a significant, negative change in business. Testing beyond normal business and operational limits, often to a breaking point, will give insight to your weaknesses. For example, do you know what would happen if you had a 25% reduction in revenue for a prolonged period?

HRI’s Stress Test Can Eliminate Risks By:

  • Identifying vulnerabilities

  • Understanding gaps and risk points

  • Future-proofing your business

  • Creating transparency
