This may sound weird coming from me, as I have been wrestling with the pros and cons of AI-enabled growth since it arrived.

But we have started new company and co-created a new platform to help small-and mid-sized businesses have a way to create and follow strategy that they can afford. We at waverock are on a mission: democratize strategy for all. This complex multi-agentic platform makes it easy.

The problem is that small businesses have goals, priorities, ideads, whiteboard sessions … but this list never gets proiritized and vetted into a strategic roadmap. You know: the right decisions in the right order.

With our friends, now partners, we have built something to solve this market problem: WaveRock’s Growth Navigator.

The Growth Navigator helps ambitious companies:
-clearly identify strategic direction
-indentify growth opportuntites and risks
-prioritize initiatives
-align leadership thinking
-build actionable roadmaps

The goal: make high-quality strategy more accessible, practical, and continuous for any business that seeks a clear path of growth, for less than a consultant (gasp!).

If you are are founder, a leader, an operator, an EOS integrator, a consultant seeking additional insight for a client, or a business owners, please visit www.waverock.ai
to learn more.

You’ll be glad you did.

Our quantitative team has perfected a new product for multi-location retail and service stores.

Store and Branch Portfolio Optimization

A great location optimization strategy requires more than just financials. From marketing spend to market quality, our analysis goes beneath the surface and into the factors that matter most for your business’s profitability. With the holistic picture in mind, you can expect the kind of strategic advisory services our clients have trusted for over 18 years, tailored to your business and informed by your data.

Without a tested strategy for making real estate decisions, multi-location businesses are leaving money on the table.

Using insights, internal data, and custom models, Epic Pivot collaborates with you to make consistent, repeatable decisions about stores in the your portfolio. We help multi-location businesses decide, location by location, whether to optimize, remodel, move, open/acquire, or close locations, so that you can invest in what’s working and cut out what’s not.

To do this, we:

* Develop a database of prioritized internal data, relevant to the industry and store type
* Identify key revenue and profit drivers (e.g. marketing spend, employee turnover, customer retention, store location, etc.) and uncover the metrics that matter most to the specific company/brand
* Compare tailored metrics for individual stores to composite metrics across the portfolio, using percentile-based metrics for performance
* Develop filters to sort stores into optimize, remodel, move, open/acquire, and close buckets based on performance metrics
* Collaborate to compare performance in individual metrics to overarching strategic goals, ensuring an aligned portfolio strategy and incorporating related strategic advisory when needed
* Outline a repeatable process for compiling data, formulating metrics, and conducting the above analysis in the future

Guess I’m going to put vibraphone practice away for a while; thank goodness. We are busy again with a lot of interesting work.

Consulting, even growth consulting, transformation, and human-centered design took a huge hit when all of the commercial world was experimenting with AI, and, arguably, over-invested and hope-drunk with the potential.

A good toolset, yes. The solution to all strategy, culture alignment, collaboration, innovation, and transformation issues? No.

Our phone and email is blowing up—and I hope the same for every other good firm out there.

People need smart, driven people to make real things happen. There are no easy answers, even if the easy answers look good in a deck made by a robot.

Holler if you have a challenge worthy of human experience.

More and more often, we meet founders and leaders of small businesses who have been drifting along without a strategy. Given the uncertain times, they know they need an actionable strategy but lack the funds and time to hire a Big consulting firm to facilitate.

To meet this need, we have designed a 10-day strategy offering for business leaders who need clarity and direction but don’t have the time or money to spend on larger consulting projects.

In just 10 days, we will deliver an insights-driven strategy that identifies key growth opportunities, unites leadership, and provides an ex*****on roadmap. We will enable your organization to face the future with clarity and confidence.

Our 10-day breakthrough strategy process harnesses our deep expertise to deliver clarity, alignment, and actionable growth for small businesses who desire disciplined growth. Read more about it here: https://epicpivot.com/10-day-breakthrough/
Epic Pivot has worked with more than 300 clients in 18+years of being in business—and we’d love to help you create a breakthrough strategy you can execute and afford.

Epic Pivot (formally both the Southern Growth Studio and Pedal) turned 18 years old recently. We are now legal adult age, ready for expansive learning and collaboration (as if going off to college).

We are so grateful to all of our clients, partner firms, contractors, and past and present employees.

Here’s to the next 18 years. May they be as fruitful, interesting, and additive as the last 18 years.

We’ve added a lot of value to clients over this span of time. If your organization seeks tangible outcomes with transformation, innovation, insights, or strategy, we are here—with a depth of experience—to help.

Thank you everyone.
