A strong organization starts with the right structure and the right people in the right roles. As Jim Collins famously said in Good to Great, “First who, then what.” The most successful organizations don’t just have a great vision—they build teams that can adapt, lead, and execute in any environment.
At Raze-Up Consulting, we help established businesses lay the foundation for long-term success by designing governance structures that support growth, clarity, and efficiency. With over 35 years of experience in community and executive leadership, we work alongside your Board, ownership, administration, or leadership team to :

Sustainable growth doesn’t happen by chance—it requires intentional strategy, informed leadership, and a clear vision for the future. At Raze-Up Consulting, we work alongside your team to craft growth plans that are both strategic and achievable, grounded in purpose and tailored to your organization’s strengths.
Inspired by Sidney Johnson’s growth framework, our approach helps organizations identify opportunities, shape direction, and implement practical strategies for lasting impact. But even the best plans rely on a leadership team that is growth-oriented, realistic, and resilient, especially as the path to progress is often non-linear.
We help you lay the foundation for growth through strong communication, shared goals, organizational unity, and a commitment to doing what’s right for your team, partners, and community.

For Businesses, Municipalities, Nonprofit Organizations & Government Agencies
Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures are high-stakes decisions that can determine the future of an organization. Yet, many deals fail—not due to poor strategic fit, but because of cultural misalignment, leadership readiness, and execution challenges. As Peter Drucker famously noted, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
At Raze-Up Consulting, we help businesses plan, negotiate, and integrate ownership changes with a focus on long-term success. Using a proven change success model, we evaluate the three key factors that determine whether a business will thrive or struggle:
For Privately Held and Family-Owned Businesses
Passing a family business from one generation to the next is one of the most meaningful—and most challenging—journeys a business can take. At Raze-Up Consulting, we specialize in guiding family-owned organizations through the complexities of ownership transitions and leadership development, helping ensure that your legacy thrives for generations to come.
With firsthand experience working alongside privately held family businesses, our founder understands the unique dynamics, emotions, and high stakes involved. Founders often possess the vision and drive that built the company, but navigating the handoff to the next generation requires intentional planning, clear communication, and sometimes, the perspective of an independent, experienced partner.
We support families by helping them build succession strategies, define leadership roles, and preserve both business performance and family unity. Our approach fosters trust, alignment, and clarity—paving the way for confident transitions.
Family business longevity by the numbers:
✔ 75% of family businesses survive 30+ years
✔ Only 30% make it to the second generation
✔ Around 12% reach the third generation
✔ Just 3% continue into the fourth generation

A strong organizational culture is more than a “nice-to-have”—it’s a strategic asset. The way your team works together, makes decisions, and engages with stakeholders is shaped by culture—and it directly impacts talent retention, team performance, and long-term success.
As Gallup defines it, culture is simply “how we do things around here.” And yet, many organizations struggle to define, develop, and protect a culture that supports their goals. At Raze-Up Consulting, we help organizations move from cultural confusion to cultural clarity—by assessing where you are today and co-creating the environment you want for tomorrow.
Backed by research and practical experience, our process starts with a comprehensive cultural assessment and leads to strategic action plans that foster a workplace where people are inspired, engaged, and connected.
In a recent Gallup poll, it was found that 84% of the value of S&P 500 companies comes from the talent, knowledge, and well-being of their people. That’s why culture isn’t a background element—it’s central to organizational performance and reputation.
