Executive Advisory & Coaching
Strategic Insight to Get—and Stay—Left of Bang
Today’s leaders face unprecedented complexity and risk. Reacting only after incidents occur—operating right of bang—is costly, disruptive, and dangerous. Staying left of bang means spotting threats early and positioning your organization to succeed and grow in the face of uncertainty.
Turn Your Left of Bang Strategy Into Reality
Your responsibility as an executive is clear: strengthen your organization's readiness before disaster strikes. But managing critical preparedness initiatives amidst competing demands, urgent priorities, and limited bandwidth can quickly become overwhelming. Left unmanaged, this leads to increased risks, organizational blind spots, and executive burnout.
Our executive advisory services directly address these challenges. Built upon the proven principles of Left of Bang, co-authored by Patrick Van Horne, our approach and advice have been trusted by:
The United States Marine Corps (selected for the Commandant’s reading list)
