About Us
Compass Strategies, LLC is a business strategy and government relations firm representing life science and defense clients deploying some of the world's most disruptive technologies to the public and private sectors. We are focused on delivering quantifiable results for our clients in a cost-effective and ethical manner.
Our consultants have helped bring new cancer diagnostic devices to market, saving thousands of lives. We were the first to introduce biometric facial recognition systems to several state motor vehicle departments for use in driver's licenses. One of our client's technologies was even used to solve a fictional murder on the CBS television show "CSI: NY".
Whether we're helping a publicly-listed technology client sell its products to the federal government, creating a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid reimbursement strategy, assisting a private equity firm develop a public sector strategy for a portfolio company or providing introductions to high-level decision makers, our goal is the same: helping our clients expand their market share while improving the communities in which we live.

OUR TEAM
Our consultants embrace a collaborative working style. We seek to partner with our clients in order to help them grow. On more than one occasion, our client's employees have mistaken our consultants for full-time company employees. We view those mistakes as compliments. 
OUR VALUES
We're passionate about what we do and we feel privileged to have advised some of the best companies in the world. At Compass, our reputations are our greatest asset. Clients can count on us to represent them with integrity, perseverance and to always do the right thing. |
Our clients are the disrupters, not the disrupted....

OUr approach
We believe that following a clearly defined process allows us to address our clients’ specific needs. Compass consultants work with our clients to clearly define goals at the outset and and we refine our efforts as the situation dictates. One business magazine referred to our process as "a modified Six Sigma approach applied to professional services".
1. Goal Definition: Compass Strategies works with our clients to determine long-term goals. We conduct a feasibility assessment to determine if the client's goals are attainable and ensure that the goals are clearly defined.
2. Strategy Development: Once the client's goals are defined, Compass develops a strategy and a list of interim benchmarks that help chart the client on a course to success. In the process of determining how we're going to achieve results, we outline specific steps and objectives relative to our client's goals. Compass Strategies then creates a plan that serves as strategic roadmap, thus helping our clients navigate the development process.
3. Execution: In the execution phase, Compass Strategies carries out the agreed upon strategy aggressively and ethically. Throughout the execution phase, we seek to be responsive and pro-active. We provide clients with monthly written progress reports so that the client is aware of our activities and how our activities are fitting into the client's overall business strategy.
4. Reassessment & Refinement: We continually ask ourselves and others "How can we do better?" We recognize that no initial plan remains perfect throughout the execution phase, so we adapt to changing conditions. We look to ensure that the course we originally planned is the right one. If conditions have change during the execution phase, we ask ourselves why. In doing so, we constantly refine and improve the strategic roadmap.
5. Quantification: At the end of the day, we realize our clients need to cost-justify our presence. Compass Strategies seeks to demonstrate, in numerical terms, the value we bring to a project.
