"We have used Davis and Company for several new and established businesses. Their work is invaluable to us in correcting team “issues” and building new teams. Their work has proven vital to our extraordinary success and has proven to be the foundation for our aggressive growth platform. Current new business has grown off the charts and after three years the selection process and team dynamics are near perfect. We have retained every new hire (over 12 professionals) during this growth period despite a blistering pace and stressful circumstances. The value of his services is realized by a factor of at least 20X."

What are your primary obstacles to achieving your plan?
- The right person in the wrong job.
- Taking too long with the right person in the wrong job.
- People who have not developed the necessary skills to do their job.
- Takes too long for a new person to get productive.
- Lack of simple quantitative and qualitative indicators that would provide effective early warning signals.
- Job positions not organized and communicated in such a way as to establish manager autonomy and accountability.
Common success indicators we look for regardless of the company plan:
- Profit driven department heads that maximize profits through a well-balanced combination of increasing sales and controlling expenses versus simply being too frugal.
- Managers who communicate their willingness and desire to be both autonomous and accountable. This is reflected in their problem identification initiative and their overall interdependency with the president (versus dependency).
- The internal identification and development of candidates for promotion, while at the same time retaining top performers who would not be comfortable if promoted.
- No turnover surprises.
We are grateful to our clients and partners that have helped us gain the knowledge, expertise, and insight in developing our expertise in:
- Organizational Development: Organizations continue to grow at a rapid pace, and this pace will only get faster. It is this pace that causes growing pains. These pains are signals that the organization has hit barriers that will ultimately affect its growth and profits. The organization has outgrown its well-established systems, processes, and yes, even its people capabilities.
Our experience is getting companies to “raise the bar” through providing insight in developing new expectations and implementing appropriate business systems, processes, and the intellectual capital to succeed.
- Personnel Assessment: We assist our clients in implementing and managing the process of getting and keeping the right people in the right jobs at the right time doing the right things right. We use McQuaig’s state of the art system of psychometric assessment tools to assist our clients in hiring, staff development, job analysis and description.
The toughest decisions in organizations are people decisions – hiring, promoting, firing, etc. The ability to make good decisions regarding people represents one of the last reliable sources of competitive advantage since very few organizations are good at it.– Peter Drucker…Through our partnership with McQuaig, at Davis and Company, we endeavor to make our clients very good at it.
- Entrepreneurial Based Management Processes: Davis and Company provides insight into how organizations can increase their effectiveness through their human capital, processes, and systems.
