When a once-thriving provider of essential care services for the aging population found itself on the brink of failure, new ownership turned to Business with Wisdom for strategic recovery. Amid market consolidation and operational chaos, the business needed more than a turnaround—it needed transformation. Today, under new leadership and guidance, the company is on track to double its profits within its first year of recovery and remains a trusted provider in its space.
With no standardized processes, lax contracts, inconsistent billing, and a highly customized service model, the company was in disarray. Internally, roles and responsibilities were blurred, and externally, client expectations were misaligned. All of this unfolded while the business was in full operation—building the plane while flying it.
We applied our proven “Get Clear. Get Focused. Get Going.” framework, balancing human-centered leadership with business rigor:
The Human Side:
- Get Clear: Redefined messaging for clients to acknowledge the need for operational changes. Built a solid internal core team (Sales, Operations, Finance).
- Get Focused: Identified subject-matter experts and expanded the team to support a successful go-live.
- Get Going: Implemented structured workflows with weekly check-ins and escalation protocols.
The Business Side:
- Get Clear: Conducted a market and SWOT analysis to prioritize urgent needs and re-establish a baseline.
- Get Focused: Introduced standard contracts, realistic budgets, performance targets, and clear KPIs.
- Get Going: Initiated client meetings, created an exception approval process, and successfully launched operational go-lives.
The organization not only stabilized but began scaling. The clarity and accountability created early wins that set the pace for a sustainable, profitable future. What began as a recovery became a strategic relaunch—with momentum continuing today.
“Working with Anne opened my eyes to how critical it is to continue to learn, grow, and collaborate with colleagues who have a similar work vision. Anne supported me in learning more about the business we were both in so that we both could be successful in our business units. She also gave tips and tricks to stay proactive in conversations with my clients to ensure a successful overall program.” — Account Executive
