The primary focus of The Coughlin Company's consulting work with organizations is on strategic acceleration, which includes these four critical areas:
- Strategy Formulation
- Strategy Communication
- Strategy Implementation
- Strategy Audit
Dan Coughlin works directly with the top six to ten executives in the client organization to formulate their organization's strategy for the next 24-36 months. Many times, he then works with this executive group on clearly communicating the strategy to all members of the organization and key suppliers. With many clients, he works with key members to make sure that the planned tactics and activities supporting the strategy are being implemented. He also comes back to conduct strategy audits to ensure the key items identified in the strategy formulation have been executed. For many clients, the work on Strategic Acceleration involves a focus on innovation and branding.

"As an executive I am always trying to improve results, whether it is business results or personal results. I would strongly suggest the use of a personal coach. I began working with Dan Coughlin in early 2000 and have found his guidance and perspective to be invaluable. He is trustworthy, credible, motivating and results oriented. Dan takes an individual approach with me that causes me to behave differently and be more productive."

"When we first met I was torn between the 'management mentality' of I can deal with any situation and the 'there's got to be a better way' philosophy. Dan, through your unique way of coaching, questioning and, most important, listening, you combined both areas of thought and have definitely changed both my approach and outlook. Thank you. You have made a difference."
