Our Team

ABOUT COMMANDING STRATEGIES

As an organization, Commanding Strategies use the “accordion” organizational structure for maximum impact: our key staff oversee all projects and engage the appropriate experts with a wide variety of skills and industry to serve each client. It’s similar to the Temporary Project Team approach that NASA used when President John F. Kennedy charged them in 1961 with the mission of sending men to the moon and turning them safely within a decade. This flexibility enabled NASA to achieve the mission in 1969, and then continue into the future. We call the process “life-pathing” and use it to help individuals and companies develop the mindsets, skill-sets, and system enablers needed to win.
