About me
With gratitude to all of those who mentored me in my journey from an idealistic youngster, to a skilled executive in several extraordinary businesses,  I have created this consultancy to help others define their goals and grow their business in alignment with their values.

01. People

What does the logo mean?  It is Mandarin for “Harmony”.  

A common western orientation tends to value individuality and independence above cooperation.

In our experience, cooperation and feeling we are a valued member of our team foster greater success now, and a more sustainable, reliable result in the future.

Great things happen when people know their contribution is valued.

02. Process

Even talented people functioning within a poor process will produce poor results.

Often the solution to sub-optimal performance is a matter of evaluating the workflows and processes employed by a department or even an entire organization.

Planning a reorganization? Get a review of your planned org changes to ensure the change will produce the results you need.    

03. Profits

We’re in business to make money or we won’t be in business for long.

The basics must always be in place before any “greatness” can happen.

O’Keeffe Consulting can help evaluate products, product lines, categories, divisions, or entire companies to identify opportunities to boost your bottom line and liquidity.

We love our numbers!
