About us

Our Name:
Proprioceptive

Proprioception is an idea we stole from the medical field. Think of it as your sense of self-awareness, the sense that allows you to walk across a room without thinking, "I'm going to move my right foot, now my left foot." Instead, we think, "I want ice cream," and every muscle and organ knows exactly what to do to get us to the freezer.

We want to see that kind of "proprioceptive" coordination every day in every company. Think up a strategy and every division, every employee knows instinctively what to do. Perhaps it's a bold ambition, but we think it's a worthy one.

What we do: 

Proprioceptive is a thought-partner advisory focused on turning organizational intent into aligned action. We serve both mid-sized and growing businesses as they become more complex organizations where alignment of a larger workforce is essential.

Proprioceptive’s specific offerings include assessments, workshops, planning/roadmaps, and training materials designed to help organizations ensure that strategy goes beyond a powerpoint exercise.
 

Our Philosophy:
Align Business at Functional Intersections

Asking tough questions is our superpower: 
  • Are all of the functions and divisions aligned toward a common purpose and business objectives?
  • Are sales and marketing aligned to optimize customer acquisition, retention and growth?
  • Does what we promise to our customers align with the communication, training and activities of employees?
  • Are middle managers managers equipped and trained to lead and deliver our strategy and brand? 
  • Are analytical tools aligned to get the right information in the right hands at the right time to make the right decisions?
