Are you running into challenges growing your business?
Have a vision, but can’t seem to execute
There’s nothing more frustrating than knowing where you want to go and not be able to get there. It’s time to develop clarity, alignment and disciplined execution so you can make it happen.
Frustrated with your team and culture
Do you have a high-performance team driving the business forward, or one that’s unhealthy and full of drama? We help create the culture you want and get the right people in the right seats.
Stuck in the
hamster wheel
So many leaders get stuck in the day-to-day firefighting and never get to truly solve the problems. They’re stuck in the hamster wheel. It’s time to become an impactful leader and build a business you love.
You're not alone
These growing pains are incredibly common. In a recent survey by Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches, 85% of coaches reported problems around execution, and more than 60% around team and culture.
Getting these areas right is the difference between a good business and a great, scalable business. Companies that consistently get these things right report 50% higher revenue growth and 66% higher profit margins.

What is (un)consulting?
When you have a problem you need solved, you call a hero. They fly in, solve the problem, then move on. If you want to build a great company (and a great team), you need to take a different approach.
As (un)consultants, we don’t swoop in. Instead, we create and serve your heroes. We work with your team as coach, teacher, advisor and guide, driving sustainable change and so they become the heroes of their own story.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike Knapp at Incrementa on my company business transformation. BM&M was attempting to make the leap from a high performing Mom & Pop manufacturer to a corporation that could continue to grow. Mike showed us that change is something that’s required and would ultimately make things easier at all levels. He then led our team effectively and allowed us to navigate the technical challenges and the cultural shifts required. His expertise as a strategic coach, advisor and execution leader were exceptional! I recommend him to all business executives looking to be more effective. "BM&M Screening Solutions Ltd.
Our team has been working together for decades, in some cases. Which makes it increasingly more difficult when conflict comes up. Shannon helped us maintain objectivity and see past the emotionally charged situation to create an outcome that worked for everyone. Her ability to stay neutral but empathetic to all parties created the possibility for greater understanding and collaboration between team members. I would recommend Shannon to anyone wanting to strengthen their team or improve their communication. She made a lasting impression with us and the tools she left with our team are still being put into practice."Overlanders Manufacturing LP
Transformation at Magnum Trailer & Equipment Inc.Mike worked with my team and I over the course of a year to lead the transformation of Magnum Trailers. During that time, Mike developed change management process improvement and project management processes, saving the company thousands of dollars. With the transformation, he facilitated the selection of an ERP solution for our three divisions. Mike’s attention to timelines and detail were key. Incrementa was a great return on investment and I’d highly recommend them."Magnum Trailer & Equipment Inc.
