A strategy your team can actually execute.

We help you get clear on where you're going, what to say no to, and how to turn the plan into priorities people own.

Book a conversation

Every engagement starts with a 30-minute call to understand where you are and where you're headed.

Sound familiar?

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Your strategic plan lives in a binder, or in your head.
Your leadership team isn't aligned on what matters most.
You're weighing a big decision: a new market, a new location, a new product line.
You keep saying yes to everything and finishing nothing.

Why Vernare for Strategy

An operator's perspective.

Vernare was founded by Jessie Yankee, who has built and scaled her own businesses and coached hundreds of small business owners. She spent nearly a decade leading national programs in the Women's Business Center network, most recently as Senior Vice President of Strategic Operations at AWBC. We bring an operator's perspective, not a slide deck.

FAQ

Good questions. Straight answers.

How long does the planning process take?

Usually 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to final plan.

Who should be involved?

Your leadership team. For smaller companies, that may be the owner plus two or three key people.

What happens after the plan is done?

We offer quarterly reviews, and many clients continue with fractional COO support to drive execution.
