In her strategy consulting work, Lorraine focuses on a series of principles that form the core of her strategy development approach:
1. Change can be managed by leading through people.
2. There is no room for APE’s in the board room. Arrogant, prideful and egotistical managers will cap out early in their career.
3. Finance 101, knowing the numbers is critical. Keeping them clean even when no one can see them is important.
4. Being sure the company is aligned to the core values of any person in it. They represent who someone is professionally and and as a person.
Lorraine’s mission statement is “You are my why! when you succeed, I succeed.”
