Personalized Transformation for SMEs

Turn Profit Leaks Into Cash

Most businesses leave 15-30% of potential profit on the table. We find it, build a tailored plan, and help you execute with AI-powered precision and relentless accountability.

Your profit is hiding in plain sight

Pricing gaps, operational drag, cash tied up in the wrong places. Our diagnostic finds exactly where, and how much.

The Reality

Most initiatives fail

Not because the ideas were bad. Because execution was chaos.

70%

Transformations fail

Complex change programs that never deliver the promised value. Money spent, nothing changed.

80%

AI delivers no gains

Fragmented pilots. Weak data. No governance. Tools bolted onto broken processes.

50%

Growth stalls

You hire, you spend, you push, but the numbers don't move. Something's bleeding cash.

What if you had a system tailored to your reality?

ImpactIQ deploys a personalized Transformation System across three phases: Potential IQ sizes your specific opportunity, Blueprint IQ validates a roadmap built for you, and Execution IQ delivers the cash. With AI doing the heavy lifting and weekly accountability keeping everyone honest.

AI & Automation

Intelligence that accelerates execution

AI isn't magic, it's leverage. We deploy intelligent agents and automation where they create measurable advantage: faster insights, better decisions, scaled execution, and freed capacity for leadership to lead.

Process Automation

Automate repetitive operations in finance, HR, and operations, freeing your team for work that actually moves the needle.

Workflow Automation Report Generation Data Integration

Practical. Not experimental.

We deploy AI where it creates measurable advantage, not to sound innovative. Every agent and automation must accelerate value capture.

Pragmatic, not experimental Proven tools solving real problems

Integrated, not bolted on AI embedded into your workflows

Value-focused, not tech-driven Every tool must accelerate cash capture

ImpactIQ partners with companies doing $5-50M in revenue who know they're leaving money on the table but don't have the bandwidth to find it and fix it. No 200-page decks. No one-size-fits-all frameworks. Just personalized clarity, a plan built for your reality, and the accountability to execute.

Straight Answers

Concerns we often hear

Fair questions deserve honest answers. Here's what we tell clients upfront.

Are you focused only on short-term gains?

Never. We optimize for the value you'd want if you were holding this business forever. Quick wins fund the longer journey, but we're building sustainable improvement, not liquidating your future.

We already know our problems. Won't this slow us down?

We move fast on obvious wins. But knowing and executing are different animals. The discipline of a structured approach is exactly how you capture 2-3x more value than ad-hoc efforts ever will.

Why should an outsider set targets for my business?

We don't impose targets. We show you what's possible, then you decide how far to push. Our job is to reveal the full picture and give you a tailored roadmap. Your job is to choose the ambition level.

Will this distract my team or damage morale?

The opposite. When people see leadership taking action and progress being made, engagement goes up, not down. Teams get energized when they're part of something that's actually working.

Does this work in our industry or market?

The fundamentals translate everywhere. We've executed across manufacturing, distribution, services, retail, insurance, and more. Different contexts, same methodology, personalized to your specific reality.

We've tried consultants before. Why is this different?

Most consulting ends with a deck. We stay until the cash hits the bank. Weekly accountability, stage-gates with real consequences, and no exit until results are realized. That's the difference.

+25 Years

Stephen Child

I deliver results. Period.

+25 years as a CEO and in McKinsey's Transformation Practice. A real-life operator sharpened by world-class consulting rigor, a rare and valuable combination.

I've built a methodology that integrates AI and automation as a multiplier. The result: operational improvements converted into real cash, faster than traditional approaches ever could.

For SMEs, PE firms, and family offices tired of strategy that sits on a shelf.

Let's talk about your situation

A short, candid conversation is usually enough to understand whether I can help, and what engagement could look like. I work with a small number of companies at a time to stay close to the work and the team.
