Talent and Training
Cornerstone can meet your needs for the right talent at the right time, and we have the training you need to accomplish your mission – no matter your industry or need.

Best-in-class Executive Services
We will help you build a FIT business – from the overall global business strategy to local, day-to-day operations – and we’re always focused on the optimal plan for a healthy enterprise that can deliver sustainable, profitable performance, and growth.
We can train your team to implement and adopt our OpEx method, so that your operation continues to perform long after CCO has accomplished the mission to optimize profitable performance.
With hundreds of executives in our global network of consultants and even more in our total relationship universe, we can help you find the right leadership and staff talent for long-term business management or short-term placement or turnaround situations.
We apply this model to any complex-interdependent system to help your team understand how the dynamics of time, trade-offs and more will enable or inhibit optimum, profitable performance.
When you have a business or a single plant that’s out of balance, struggling with chaos or even fighting for its very survival, CCO’s proprietary FIT and OpEx methods -- and our experienced consultants – will help you fix it fast.
If your business includes acquisitions or other value-creating events, CCO’s FIT and OpEx methods will help you analyze and evaluate targets and transactions, or we can quickly help you validate your own due diligence.
Classroom, remote learning, on-premises leadership, and coaching courses are at the heart of our Operational Excellence and accountable culture. We’ve partnered with Higher Echelon to enhance both individual and organizational excellence.
