Who We Are | Philosophy and Strategy | Mission Statement Philosophy and Strategy Stalley Associates is committed to adding value to young and growing businesses, helping them become balanced, productive and profitable. In partnership with our clients, we work with a growing business to identify and address its critical issues - whether they be strategic focus and planning, management, marketing, or the need for capital. But how? Rod Stalley understands that building a business is not a solitary activity. The needed skills can be found only in a team, not just one individual. A business owner needs a group of outside advisors or a Board of Directors to maintain objectivity and to review critical issues. Stalley Associates can be your partner, examining relevant information, making important decisions, and setting -- and reaching -- realistic goals. Stalley Associates can serve as your counselor, as a member or your Board or Directors or Board of Advisors, or as an Assistant to the President. Rod can also serve as Interim Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer. You determine the level of assistance we provide, after we meet to determine the specific needs of your organization. Stalley Associates is committed to listening first, advising second, and developing workable, practical solutions to your business challenges. Rod Stalley will commit himself and Stalley Associates to partnership relationships where there exists a shared business strategy, trust between principals and mutual confidence in common values. He will spend the time necessary to understand your business philosophy, fundamental marketing assumptions, and personal and business goals and aspirations. These are important issues, and must be included in a company's strategic focus and plan.
