Mentor Capital

We partner with early-stage start-ups to provide strategic and board level support. We are experienced in navigating quickly through the uncertain and chaotic waters of establishing and building a viable business around a product concept. Our record of success focusing entrepreneurs toward compelling, attainable plans is impressive and produces profitable returns.

Establishing Successful Start-ups

We bring a track record of documented results to bear in support of you and your core team organized around a strategic focus and critical paths for success. Additionally, we can aid you to identify and attract vital resources including financing, talent, and strategic partners that will accelerate time to market.

“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions, and the actions which speak louder than the words… Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.”

High Performance Teams

Highly visible work occurs in organizations as projects, usually matrixed across several functions or departments. We have developed an extremely effective and lean process that causes people to identify, own, and produce the plans, practices, and behaviors that enable success.

These programs can be employed with Product Development (HW/SW), Marketing, Sales, Support Functions (Human Resources, Finance, Services) or cross-departmental teams.

Large-scale Business Change

We have developed the structures, organizational processes and program management that guide the fulfillment of envisioned change or rapid growth. Mobilize the leadership, management, and workforce of you organization to systematically deliver new business results faster, less expensively, and with sustainable skills. Speed of action, clarity of key processes, and effective coordination are hallmarks of these proven programs designed to realize huge business benefits.

“Our work with Management Associates has brought exceptional levels of strategic involvement to management teams, employees, suppliers, and the entire distribution chain resulting in achieving accelerated objectives.”

Ivor Lewis, Managing Director, United Distillers

Profitable e-commerce

In the land rush to capture a competitive position in e-commerce, companies are concentrating on installing new technologies.

We have developed the critical programs that enable your organization to own, embrace, and be responsive to changes in the way you do business. If you don’t have managers and people who can think, act, and innovate in “real-time,” technology alone won’t carry the day.

Mergers and Integrations

Now that you acquired or merged with another organization, the real challenge is to quickly and seamlessly (to customers and employees) realize the benefits you envisioned. We bring world-class experience to create an integration process and quickly mobilize people at every level of the organization to build a new context for working together and delivering results.

Responsive Customer Service

Customer Service can make or break your new marketing, sales or e-business strategy. We work with customer care organizations to develop strategies and practices that are proven to work and can be responsibly and eagerly implemented by front line people.

Transforming Cost into Profit Centers

The challenge today is to have all elements of the enterprise operating with the behaviors, attitudes, and practices that support and actually yield profitability. This program has produced dramatic turnarounds in diverse organizational groups that now form a powerful “value-added” focus.

The 90-day Turn-around

Act decisively to intervene when your project or organization is stalled, stopped, or moving off-track. In the 90-day turn-around, you will identify what’s missing and mobilize your people to deliver what’s required. This will be gained quickly and your leadership group will be enabled to replicate what was learned and implemented.

“Achieving success in the internet space has underscored the importance of quick innovation and flawless execution. Management Associates has provided our group with unprecedented measurable improvements in both.”

Doug Doyle, Director Product Marketing, E*Trade
