North River Course Corrections

For over three decades we've helped CEOs of some of the largest companies in the world cut the cash and capital wait states that cripple profitable scalability.  This gives us an unmatched, hard-money system for navigating markets for firms of any size, in any location, worldwide.

Here we give clients multiple Course Corrections every week that are based on our hard money system of calculating cash and capital velocities.  We show almost daily why some companies with seemingly insuperable advantages will fail.  Months -- often years –- later, you see their ruinous stories on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.

You don't want to be one of these.

There is no magic here, no nothing-up-my-sleeve guesswork, no misguided belief in the saving grace of a technology.

Because we have started, built, and sold businesses to Fortune 500 players, and participate in four venture funds in Europe and the U.S., we are not easily fooled.

We know that it's the numbers stupid because we live with these numbers every day ourselves, and we know that these numbers are your cash and capital efficiencies.  Mess up these and your future will vanish.

North River Lighthouse: Our Premium Partnering Service

Lighthouse guides clients to the A-Grade cash and capital efficiencies that will scale them profitably to and beyond $100 billion in sales.

Lighthouse is invaluable to low-grade companies with excess cash and capital wait states in markets where higher-grade competitors move faster. 

Just ask the low-grade consumer electronics and recording industries how Apple's iTunes impacted their top and bottom lines.  Yet Apple's cash- and capital-efficient, high-grade advantages were clear to Lighthouse clients years ahead of events.

Depending upon the level of engagement, from basic advisory and consulting services to full corporate makeovers, Lighthouse clients may receive Onsite Advisory Meetings, White Paper Reports on Cash and Capital Wait State Management, Annual Strategic Planning Assessment, and all three phases of the Management Grading System: Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Quarterly Benchmarking.

In addition, all Lighthouse partnering clients have direct, private phone access to Francis McInerney.  Also included in all Lighthouse partnering are the full set of Navigator and Compass tools.

Lighthouse partnering clients include global organizations that range in sales size from $1 billion to $100 billion and include some of the biggest corporate names in the world.  

There are a strictly limited number of engagements at this level.  Please contact us directly for details on availability.
