Grackle Services
A well-oiled machine
Professional services organizations face unique challenges given the nature of the product they provide: time and experience. Time is constantly expiring and experience comes at a significant cost.
Growing a services business requires tightly machined operations.
The consequence of misalignment is decreased margin driven by resource underutilization, missed sales opportunities, and money being left on the table. Add in constant change in competitive environments and you’re presented with a rapidly snowballing situation.
When the organization is properly aligned it thrives!

The Grackle
Grackles are problem solvers. A communal bird that thrives in diverse environments from downtown Austin to the quiet countryside of Mexico. They are distinctive with a unique call, black iridescent feathers, and the intense stare of a focused velociraptor. Grackles are bold and fearless in nature, often standing their ground against much larger birds.
The grackle’s ability to thrive is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the strength of the flock.
