About Us

Wayne Bergman helps leaders build healthy and valuable businesses.

Over his business and military career, the common denominator he sees in healthy and profitable businesses is the decisions and actions taken by engaged, aligned and talented people with the right resources focused on the right goals and the right customers.

Growing any business is about looking into the future, defining the trajectory and direction and building the team.

Throughout Wayne’s career he was presented with and accepted several opportunities in which his bosses asked… “How would you feel about taking on this new role as…? I think you have demonstrated what it takes to get this opportunity off the ground and growing.”

After some initial discovery questions, it was not unusual for Wayne to determine that many of these leadership opportunities came with… No title or job description; no department or budget; no office; no team. But there was a map and a network of people he could use to help him as well as a pat on the back and… “Ok, that is the basic idea - let me know what you need. Good Luck!”

That’s it!

It was then on Wayne to create an exciting vision, define customer needs, establish growth goals and action plans, enlist help including mentors and address a significant level of ambiguity and uncertainty.

Entrepreneurship and Leadership are development journeys conducted in complex, ambiguous, dynamic and uncertain environments. Growing a business requires growing leaders at all levels. Growing both revenues and the bottom line requires people who are aligned and focused on the right actions.
