Safeguard the Business
People affect everything and determine your success
Because even the best strategy fails without people on board. Change management ensures your team understands, supports, and adopts critical initiatives. It reduces resistance, accelerates results, and transforms disruption into progress.
CHANGE Pathway is our proprietary change management methodology built for everyone
No certifications needed, and no decade of experience required. CHANGE Pathway guides organizations through the six key steps - Comprehension, Hope, Agreement, Navigation, Growth, and Embedding - to build lasting employee alignment and workplace transformation.
“We were ready to kick off a major project to install new MRP and CRM systems - the classical examples for Change Management. We already knew several employees were frustrated and resistant, but we didn’t know how to take action. Profit Boost helped us assess and respond. As a result, the project actually went more smoothly than planned.”

Our methodology is uniquely practical, reliable, and effective
We know manufacturing better than pretty much anyone else, and we help you create and achieve plans that work.
Our Strategic Planning program stands out because it turns vision into action
It aligns your team, clarifies your direction, and creates a detailed, executable plan while avoiding the common pitfalls that cause most plans to fail. With over 140 success stories, it delivers measurable growth, stronger teamwork, long-term resilience, and achieved goals.
Policy Deployment is a fancy term for executing the plan. And execution is often where plans fail. So we use a variety of methods that ensure you plan stays on track.
“During my 25 years at Signet Mills we have engaged in many strategic planning events. Working with Chris Wayne at Profit Boost was the first time I left strategic planning with practical ideas, easy to use tools, and clear understandable objectives that were easy to execute. Our strategic planning with Chris has made a substantial positive impact on our company.”
