Emerging firm Blossom Growth Partners is Breaking the Mold of Traditional Consulting
CHICAGO, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Blossom Growth Partners (http://blossomgrowth.com/), an advisory firm focused on growth and fixing the problems associated with it, has opened its doors. The firm, founded by three veteran industry operators and consultants, Brian D. Pitera, Lea Macchiaroli, and Steven Baumgartner, takes a non-traditional approach to advising companies. Blossom Growth Partners is a team of operators who can provide execution-based advice by helping companies identify the accelerators and decelerators to growth. The firm specializes in working with early-stage growth companies, established organizations, and PE/VC entities scaling businesses or fixing stagnant performance.
"What companies are looking for today," says Blossom co-founder Brian Pitera, "are advisors who can provide practical functional expertise along with hands-on, execution-based support." Only 20% of the work done today by traditional strategy consulting firms is classic strategy work. The other 80% is execution and implementation support. This is a significant decrease from thirty years ago when it was 60%-70% strategy, according to Harvard Business Review. "Today, it's primarily about translating strategy into execution," Pitera said. "Companies no longer have the time, resources, or patience for traditional transformations. They want help from people who have seen it before, know how to do the work, and have the ability to make an immediate impact."
Blossom's team of 15 professionals have served as interim leaders of operations, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, information technology, human resources, and sales & marketing.
Blossom works with companies of varying sizes and all stages of growth, particularly those that are experiencing rapid growth and lack the fundamental processes to scale. "Because the Blossom team consists of skilled functional experts who know how to build businesses," said co-founder Lea Macchiaroli, "we can help organizations quickly define problems, develop, teach and implement practical solutions, and then immediately measure the results."
"Our clients find our philosophy of working as operators refreshing," said Macchiaroli. "The Blossom team understands that our clients have businesses to run and customers to serve; so they can't stop to fix everything. It has to be fixed in flight and without distraction."
Blossom Growth Partners is a global advisory firm rooted in the belief that not all experience is created equal. Learn more at http://blossomgrowth.com/.
