Home -> Summer Management Series  Summer Management Series Shepherd released the “Summer Management Series” in 2007 on the web and over email in the form of an electronic newsletter that was intended to help growing companies learn more about how they can best build their businesses. The series tackled specific business issues, described some common challenges, and asked some tough questions so that readers could do some personal reflection. The articles were emailed out to our subscriber list, and expanded versions are now published here on the website (with links below). As a business management consulting firm, Shepherd Advisors focuses on guiding and leading companies to meet their goals and reach new levels of success. One way that we do this is by helping you to recognize important issues within your business that may require change. The following topics were included in the Summer Management Series: May 2007: Organizational Strategy – Four ways to improve your organization June 2007: Strategic Planning and “Strategic Doing” – Turning plans into actions July 2007:  Proactive Target Marketing – Reach the right customers and prospects with the right message August 2007:  Business Plan Development – Financials that work for you, not against you Shepherd may produce another series, based on reader feedback. PLEASE let us know what you think of each issue, and what other topics would be useful to you in the future.
