Strategic Advising

BUSINESS Planning

Alignment between executives’ expectations and managements’ execution of key initiatives is critical. Archelle’s approach to business planning helps clients build a bridge between their aspirational vision and current business reality. While the planning ideas are forward-thinking, the plan itself drives performance accountability with metrics.

Services include: 

• Defining and/or clarifying company vision and mission.

• Identifying key business initiatives with associated KPIs and metrics

• Assessing operational efficiency through a unique “trust but verify” approach

• Planning, facilitating, moderating multi-day business planning meetings

Board Activities

Archelle has served on the Board of Directors of three publicly traded companies and was Board Chair for a $1 billion health system. She has also served on the board of six non-profits and advises a portfolio of innovative early/mid-stage companies. Colleagues describe Archelle as someone who insists on evidenced-based decision-making, full transparency, metrics, and accountability.

Services include:

• Board of Directors service

• Advisory Board participation

• Executive coaching

• Formation of new Advisory Board with charter development and thought leader recruitment

Executive Coaching

With thirteen years of executive experience at UnitedHealth Group, Archelle is no stranger to the stress of achieving business imperatives. A critical success factor is having a “safe place” – a confidential, objective and experienced confidante – for idea-sharing, problem-solving and feedback.

For one CEO, the focus was to be a sounding board as s/he re-organized the leadership team. For another CEO, the conversations revolved around the pros and cons of selling the company and subsequently, how to protect key employees during the acquisition. There is no one-size fits all approach except that Archelle is available when the issue arises not when you have the next scheduled meeting.
