ABOUT US

The Forrader Group was founded in 2009 to provide strategic counsel and support to leaders and their organizations.

Principles Underlying Our Work

• Whatever we do, we do on purpose with purpose.

  • Establish clarity of purpose, values, goals, responsibilities and measurable expectations to enable alignment of all stakeholders’ interests and interactions with the business.

  • Ensure everyone knows:

    • What we do

    • For whom we do it

    • Why someone will do more business with us

    • How we will grow in the future, and

    • Their individual role in success.

  • Communicate how decisions and actions align to the defined direction, values, goals, expectations and assumptions of the business.

​

• Align the organization and its stakeholders to an important cause to improve society.

  • Create and sustain separation from competitors in what we do best.

  • Build momentum and growth to sustain the future.

  • Acknowledge profits as the lifeblood of the continuing work of the business and an indicator of success of the organization’s larger work and purpose.

• Provide a company environment where people have the opportunity to succeed doing their best work. 

  • Engage good people sharing core values of integrity, mutual respect, inclusion, personal responsibility, trust, candid communication and recognition for achievement.

  • Build the team to maximize the strengths of team members. Empower them to function successfully in their roles and hold them accountable.

  • Continue learning and challenging the status-quo. Mistakes and failures happen. Acknowledge them. Learn from them and move on.

​

• Relentless focus on learning, execution and achievement.

  • Use 80/20 disciplines to focus the business towards value-added activities, while driving out lower priority activities and costs.

  • Resolve ambiguity and conflicts. Do the right thing for the good of the business. The easy path is often not the right path.

  • Keep the business as simple as possible: KISS; Rules of Three; & SMART objectives etc.

​

• Serve with a passion for helping team members succeed.

  • Walk the talk. True intentions are ultimately proven by actions, not words.

  • Engage customers, employees, vendors and all stakeholders. Listen carefully.

  • Enjoy each day. Genuinely share hope, trust and gratitude.
