You Own the
Journey.
Timberstone Partners is a team of deeply experienced individuals who specialize in strategy, design, implementation and optimization of business services operating models. Our team members each have over 30 years of experience serving companies across multiple industry segments. We have partnered with the leading business services organizations across the globe. Our purpose is to guide and empower our client teams to optimize business services performance through experiential coaching, insights, and shared learning.
How Are We Different?
It starts with our philosophy....
You drive the journey.
Our clients own their current and their future states, so they must own the transformation journey. Engagement, from leadership down through the team making change, is the single most important factor driving transformation success.
Your empowered team owns the result.
We offer a leaner support model, where our senior level advisors empower the client’s team with experience, marketplace knowledge, proven approaches, and ready-to-use templates to accelerate their journey. In contrast, relying on large consulting teams, which might be warranted for certain projects, can impede critical ownership and engagement. At a minimum, many of the learnings developed within the project team leave the building with the consultant.
Your knowledge, coupled with our guidance, builds lasting improvement.
Our unique coach and guide approach is flexible, allowing the client team to run at its pace and draw deeper from our experience in areas most critical to the team’s success. We measure our success solely through our clients’ lens – project accomplishments and client team growth.
