WE ARE MORE THAN JUST CONSULTANTS
The difference between planning theater and measurable results, discovered by 250+ companies.
The Moments That Demand a New Approach
80% of strategic initiatives fail, not because strategies are flawed, but because execution systems are broken. This creates career-limiting moments of risk for leaders.
"The Board is asking questions I can't answer. We have activity reports, but no story about business impact."
Board meeting approaching, need strategic progress update.
"This transformation is becoming another PowerPoint exercise. We've had months of presentations, but nothing has actually changed in how we operate."
Major initiative with lots of presentations, no operational change.
"I have to prove this $2M investment was worth it, but all I have are activity metrics, not business results."
$2M+ budget allocated, stakeholders expecting ROI demonstration
What if your next board meeting showed clear progress?
Leaders at companies like Intel, Ford, and Boeing faced this exact challenge. The solution wasn't a new strategy, but a new operating rhythm that connects the boardroom vision to frontline execution.

Our Origin, Mission & Vision
Our Origin
Practitioners, Not Theorists.
We didn't read the book on strategy execution. We wrote it in the field.
Wave Nine wasn't founded in a lecture hall. It was forged in the boardrooms and operational meetings of global enterprises. Our founders are practitioners who spent their careers witnessing the same frustrating pattern: companies would invest millions in brilliant strategies, only to see them fail during execution.
We saw the endless "planning theater," the expensive software that became "shelfware," and the failed OKR scar tissue that left teams cynical. We knew the problem wasn't a lack of good ideas; it was the absence of a disciplined system to bring those ideas to life.
We created Wave Nine to be the partner we wished we had—a team of hands-on experts obsessed with a single goal: making strategy work.
Our Mission
Fixing the System, Not Blaming the People.
Too many brilliant people are trapped in a cycle of aimless activity. They work hard on projects that never seem to connect to the bigger picture, leading to frustration and wasted potential. This isn't a failure of people; it's the failure of a broken system.
Our mission is to fix this. We replace ambiguity with clarity, politics with transparency, and "busywork" with measurable outcomes. We do this because we know that engaged, aligned teams are the single greatest driver of competitive advantage.
Our Vision
Building Self-Sufficiency, Not Dependency.
We envision a future where every organization can operate at its full potential. A world where every team member, from the C-suite to the frontline, understands exactly how their work contributes to the mission and is empowered to make a real impact.
Our vision is to build organizations that win—not just in the marketplace, but in the engagement, fulfillment, and shared success of their people.
