TANDM CONSULTING SERVICES
SEVEN SPECIFIC PRACTICES ONE INTEGRATED METHODOLOGY
TANDM organizes its consulting work into seven specific practices each addressing a defined workstream in the operational preparation of founder-led service businesses. The practices share a common methodology (the Exit-Ready Method™) but can be engaged standalone when a specific workstream is the priority, or integrated within a broader engagement when the work is interconnected.
WHAT WE DO
Each practice addresses a defined workstream. Most engagements combine multiple practices.
THE METHODOLOGY
The seven practices map to the six phases of the Exit-Ready Method™
Business systems work concentrates in Phases 2–3 (Foundation, Operational Engine). Operational consulting spans Phases 2–4. Leadership development concentrates in Phase 5. Owner independence concentrates in Phase 5. Valuation optimization concentrates in Phases 4–6. AI integration is woven through all phases. Exit planning is the full Exit-Ready Method™ engagement with explicit exit-readiness framing throughout.
For founders engaging a single practice typically because a specific workstream is the priority and the rest of the operational foundation is already in place the practice is engaged as a standalone six-to-eighteen-month workstream. For founders engaging multiple practices, the work is integrated within a broader engagement structured around the Exit-Ready Method™.
The Ground Check (six-to-eight-week diagnostic) determines which practices apply to your specific situation and the right engagement structure for the combination.
UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY
All practices draw from the Exit-Ready Method™ TANDM's proprietary six-phase framework
