Strategy & operations advisory · Chicago
Adler & Slate helps mid-size companies turn priorities into a working cadence: clear OKRs, leadership meetings that end in decisions, and reporting your executives actually trust.
Services
For leadership teams that have outgrown founder-style decision making but aren’t ready to staff a full strategy office.
Ongoing
A senior operator embedded with your leadership team on a schedule that fits your needs.
Project
Turn the annual plan into objectives and key results each team can own.
Project
See every initiative in one place and put money and people where they matter most.
Project
Automate the reporting and manual workflows that slow your operating rhythm down.
Approach
Interviews with leaders, an inventory of current initiatives, and a review of the KPIs you already track.
The cadence, OKRs, decision rights, and reporting your team will use, sized to how you actually work.
We lead the first planning and review cycles alongside your leadership team and adjust as we go.
Documented routines, dashboards, and a trained internal owner, so the rhythm keeps running without us.
