Help me make better decisions and stay focused.
Initial engagement: 3 Months

For owners who want an experienced operating partner in their corner but already have people capable of executing internally.

Typical support includes:

• Owner-level priorities and decision support

• Business performance and KPI review

• Organizational and people decisions

• Operating and revenue problem-solving

• Accountability around the owner's highest priorities

• Access between meetings when important issues arise

Best fit when:
The business can execute. The owner primarily needs experienced judgment, perspective, and accountability.

Help me actually fix one important part of the business.
Initial Engagement: 3 Months

For businesses that need hands-on help solving one meaningful operating constraint rather than another set of recommendations.

A Focused engagement typically centers on one primary outcome, such as:

• Reducing owner dependence

• Building management accountability

• Repairing a revenue-management process

• Improving operating or financial visibility

• Stabilizing a leadership or execution gap

• Strengthening a customer-delivery process

I may diagnose the problem, build the first version of the system, lead early implementation, and work with the responsible manager until the business can own it internally.

Best fit when:
There is one important problem that needs senior ownership and hands-on execution.

Work alongside me and my leadership team to make the business perform better.
Initial Engagement: 3 Months

For businesses where several interconnected operating problems need senior ownership at the same time.

An Embedded engagement may include:

• Working directly with the leadership team

• Leading multiple interconnected operating priorities

• Building management cadence and accountability

• Clarifying roles and decision rights

• Improving operating and financial visibility

• Strengthening revenue-management systems

• Coaching or directly managing key leaders when appropriate

• Leading cross-functional initiatives

The objective is not to make Staske Operating Partners permanently indispensable. It is to build the systems, management capacity, and execution discipline that allow the business to perform with less outside support over time.

Best fit when:
The owner needs more than help with one project and wants an experienced operator meaningfully involved in how the business runs.

Temporary executive leadership when the business cannot wait.

Typical Duration: 3 - 6 Months

For situations where there is an immediate operating leadership gap and the company needs someone to step into a defined executive seat for a limited period.

This may include:

• Direct leadership of managers or teams

• Defined operating or P&L responsibility

• Executive decision-making authority

• Leadership-team participation

• Vendor and cross-functional oversight

• Owner or board reporting

• Stabilization following a leadership departure

• Building, recruiting, or transitioning to the permanent solution

Every Interim engagement begins with a defined mandate, decision authority, success criteria, and target transition date.

Best fit when:
There is a genuine executive leadership gap rather than simply a project that needs help.
