Dale Harvey
Speaker/trainer
Successful business leader, manager, organizational and strategic business consultant.
If you would like your company’s talent to feed off of successful systems and processes, then have Dale Harvey talk business with you.
Because of Dale Harvey’s extensive background, education, executive training and successful track record of managing companies, it is no wonder why businesses and organizations have asked him to serve on their board of directors, guiding them in leadership positions in the development of organizational structure. This is what we call “Technical Architecture”. We use it to improve company performance and bottom line results. Public and private enterprises over the past 25 years have benefited by Harvey’s ability to comprehend, organize, implement, grow and manage complex projects, teams and companies to deliver award winning profitable results and satisfied clients.
Dale Harvey is an expert at understanding the business owner perspective then building a workable program that will provide solutions to today’s unique business issues. His Synergy Business Consulting practice emphasizes:
· Strategic Planning
· Market Re-Positioning
· Business Plan Development
· Organizational Assessment
· Systems & Process Improvement
His work also involves leading segments of Synergy retreats and custom designed workshops while interweaving the “Social Architecture” of his partner, Chris Alexander.
“There is no limit to the challenges business owners face in today’s economic climate. Likewise, there is no limit to the realm of solutions that are possible. What every business owner needs is someone who can understand where they want to go and then lead them there. Often we, as business owners, are too close to the situation to see the answers that lay right in front of us. That is why it is business smart to have Synergy see it for you.”
Dale Harvey is an example of old fashioned “learn it from the bottom up” business education. He built his practical and applied knowledge of business one step at a time. After attaining his university degree, his start in business literally took him from the proverbial low-man on the totem pole to president and chairman of the board of a public company. One of his favorite and often repeated quotes is, “I am no better or worse a man than you because we both put our pants on the same way…one leg at a time.”
He treats all his business clients with the utmost respect and confidentiality, freely sharing with them the lessons he has learned along his travels on the road of business.
If you like where you are at, enjoy the ride. If you are not yet satisfied, contact us and let our Synergy team of professionals engage with you and your team, leading your organization to reach beyond where you are now, and achieve those elusive results that you have been missing
