J.R. Hull Co., Inc. was formed in 1980 to assist small to mediumsized firms  in improving operations and financial results through a creative strategic planning process.  As the client work has progressed, the firm has focused on the element of value building as it's core product.

In order to increase value, J.R. Hull Co. has developed a set of products and services that provide a structure for the work related to value enhancement.  The following are some of those enhancements.

Visioneering

A unique approach to planning that allows the client to envision itself in the future and build the steps necessary to arrive at that future.  Using formats and technology used by screenwriters the members of a client firm create a compelling story for their future.  The consultant teaches the techniques, adds ideas and concepts, and assists in pulling the story together

Internal Initiatives

One of the primary drivers for business value is productivity.  This is enhanced by providing a unique performance based compensation plan for the employees called the IGS Plan-- a copyrighted plan of J.R. Hull Co.  To support this plan a specially designed time-management program and personal leadership system is implemented.

External Initiatives

Sales and Marketing issues are addressed with the consulting firm's Client Creation System.  This system is based on client problem solving and a disciplined approach by the sales force.  Individual sales productivity is evaluated and a unique "Rainmaker System" may be employed to support these efforts.  Mergers and Acquisitions are planned if appropriate, but done so on an active basis as opposed to a passive one used by most firms.

Employee Involvement

The consultant works with the employees monthly to help in their work on the business issues that will reflect in increased business value.

The Measurement System

Using software designed to value and track value enhancement, J.R. Hull Co provides measurement tools to the firm that will reflect the value growth.
