People Ops & Teamwork

Aligned Objectives | Engaged Teams | Quantified Success

Getting everyone in your organization working as a team can be challenging

Without a strong culture of teamwork, leadership and shared objectives, improvement initiatives are rarely successful. These are some of the common warning signs that it’s time to take a look at your ‘people ops’.

Micro-management
Employee retention and/or hiring is a problem
Unfriendly internal competition & gossiping

Lack of innovation
Stressed out and/or unhappy employees
Favoritism and unfair opportunities

No one wants to work in this kind of environment!

Your team deserves to be empowered, engaged, and working toward common goals

These are some of the main benefits you and your team can expect!

TRANSPARENCY AND CLARITY

Allowing everyone to see the big picture and the roles their colleagues play improves teamwork and engagement.

TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE

As victories are made along the way, your team will experience a higher level of trust, accountability, and confidence in one another.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

A team committed to continuous improvement provides you with a solid foundation for innovation, growth, and winning!

Brian Royce

ADVOCATE OF WINNING TEAMS

“I have a true passion for teamwork, operational efficiency, and systems design. These 3 ‘non-revenue generating’ areas of business are commonly overlooked in favor of growth. But I believe you can have the greatest product or service in the world, and without optimization in these 3 areas, there is no sustainable growth. Ever.

Now I’m grateful to apply this experience helping small business leaders who are truly ready to improve their organization. If you fall into this category, I am confident we can help take your business to the next level, effectively working as an extension of your team!”

Why Choose Birch And Oak?

"I had the great pleasure of working with Brian to help grow my wholesale business. He helped us establish a successful B2B sales strategy, and implemented a customized CRM with data integrated from our P.O.S. system. This created alignment between our inside and outside sales teams and led to rapid growth. Shortly after, Brian's objective view helped uncover the need for an EDI integration to automate order entry/invoicing/tracking for our new high-volume customers.

Brian is a reliable and highly motivated individual who will see any project through to completion."

"I wanted to take my company to the next level in several areas: To create an authentic company culture built on both personal and professional core values, fine tune our business operations to be as efficient as possible, and to strengthen our brand position and relationships with our retailers.

Brian is a wealth of knowledge and knows how to apply that knowledge in a practical, results-oriented way. He was instrumental in the strategic growth of our company."

“Brian has really helped us get our heads around using Notion. He has shown us how to simplify our initially complex setup to get the best use out of our workspace. Our workflow has become a lot more efficient as a result of working with him.

We are really grateful for all of Brian's help and look forward to working with him on future projects.”
