Program Basics
PGA is a 100-day execution support program that identifies your path to rapid profit growth. It's built for CEO's, Presidents, and Founders who want results--not theory.
The playbook follows a 4-step process--Segment, Simplify, Zero-Up, and Grow--identifying 200-500 basis points of EBITDA improvement in 100 days.
Mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and service firms with revenues between $1M and $1B plus.
The ideal clients are CEOs, Presidents, Founders, or PE-backed executives who need to move the needle on EBITDA fast.
It starts with a discovery call and demo. Once you enroll, we assign you an Account Manager (AM) who acts as your coach and quarterback.
Your leadership team runs the 100-day playbook, supported by online tools, and training.
PGA is delivered online, with your Account Manager guiding the process via Zoom, Slack, and The 80/20 Institute platform.
Optional in-person workshops can be added for kickoff, simplification, or pricing sessions if desired.
