Services
Christine A. Lauber provides a range of consulting and management services intended to help small business owners and entrepreneurs succeed.
Serving the Entrepreneur
With her extensive financial management background, Christine employs the Information Growth Ladder to create solid business management practices that will last for years to come. This tiered-service system begins with assessing basic operations and gradually leads to business planning and financial projections. A client need not complete all four steps, but as with any ladder, it is recommended to start at the beginning to ensure the best results.
Informational Growth Ladder: A 4-Tiered Information System
Step 1: Operational Improvement

Step 2: Information Reporting Systems
Designing and mapping information reporting systems for management. This includes creating and reviewing consistent and categorized results that demonstrate gaps and trends within the business.
Step 3: Performance Measurement and Management
Determining Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and developing monitoring systems to track progress. This includes measuring key indices in business processes and assigning accountability.
