Approach
Knowpreneur understands the financial,
organizational, and marketing imperatives that drive entrepreneurs,
managers, and directors in the
knowledge age.
Our mission is to help these leaders of the
knowledge economy hurdle barriers restricting their growth. We do it
by applying a consulting process we adapted from methods used by world-wide
thinkers and management
consulting organizations.
Knowpreneur's sister company, Sentare
Information Services, then supplies the tactical material to make
a plan happen.
Our approach is always collaborative. We don't
show up, ask a few questions, disappear, and throw a report on your desk six
months later.
Our core skills of analysis, synthesis, and
articulation help client organizations streamline thinking
and planning processes so leaders can get on with their real business of leading
and managing.
