The Challenge

Our Goal

Our Scope of Services

New product development is essential to your continued growth, but it can be an arduous journey through a myriad of approval processes and layers of management. Often this hinders the development of an idea and can stifle creativity and enthusiasm from within.

Sorensen Strategies is passionate about helping you identify innovative and creative products and services to transform your business. Our creative Think-Tank (Imagine) process energizes and unites your team, challenges your thinking, and helps you to brainstorm, explore and generate new ideas, concepts and possibilities.

We partner with you to explore the varied approaches to developing your product or service. We use our multi-industry experience to successfully introduce new best practices, cross-industry lessons learned, market insights, and materials and process cost modeling where appropriate.

Our expertise can help you avoid pitfalls and delays, and get you on the right track for real service and product development gains.

Other Areas We Serve

Business Coaching

"Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is more often helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” ~ John Whitmore

Our Goal

Our Scope of Services

Moving into a responsible management position differs from being a competent worker. Being prepared for that step up in responsibility is a learned process that can be difficult and time-consuming. We help ease the transition by working with newly-promoted managers, as well as those executives looking to enhance their communication and leadership skills.

We are experienced business professionals, coaches and mentors with years of practical experience in the dynamics of helping executives improve in their roles. We focus on business and leadership behaviors, and we provide a process that maximizes the harmony and synergy of a team, team leader, and a coach. Working together in this environment produces results far greater than the sum of its parts.
