TMF's Fast Track Action Plan™ Program Methodology and Management is a unique real-time strategic planning program designed to improve your Company's competitiveness ñ in days not years. Although the Fast Track Action Plan (FTAP) Program generally takes about 6-weeks from start to finished Plan, it entails only a few days of Senior Management time. It is a dramatic 'Business Improvement' Workshop and Fundamental Corporate Change Process. According to many Companies that have been through it, ranging in size from a Regional Bell Operating Company to VC-funded start-ups, the FTAP process is stunningly effective in attacking the weaknesses in a Company's Business Model and reinforcing its strengths.

The Company Health Test™ is a very tough test for Senior Management and Investors only. Don't take it if you don't want to know how your Company is REALLY doing. (And if you can't answer some of the questions it gives you a great checklist of things you may need to find out). In June 1999, it will become the first Inter-active Company Performance Test to be featured on the Internet. The CHT really becomes an essential tool when all the Senior Management Team of a Company take it and the results are intra-department and overall results are analyzed and compared.

TMF's Team has significance experience in assisting Company's Management, or directly managing turnarounds and returning them to health. In several cases a successful exit strategy or liquidity event has resulted. TMF's Company Health Test is frequently used as an initial analysis process. TMF combines stringent cost-cutting, where appropriate, with re-vitalization of a company's morale, culture, technology, marketing, manufacturing operations and customer service focus. For larger companies, TMF can bring significant resources to the Project.
