Joel Strom Associates was founded with the mission of helping closely-held companies successfully reach their growth objectives. For the last 25+ years it has accomplished that mission, and expanded the reach. Because the firm's Growth Management process is designed to help all growing and transitioning organizations, JSA is able to serve small to mid-size companies in nearly every type of business including manufacturing, construction, distribution, retail, consumer and professional services. Whether a company produces high tech proprietary products, is a tool and die job shop, a specialty construction contractor, a home products distributor, or a funeral home chain, it can benefit from Growth Management. Whatever the finished product or service is, if the company has grown, is growing, or wants to grow, JSA's Growth Management services can help make that growth successful.

Several years ago, the JSA team realized that the principles and processes of Growth Management can help not only small to mid-size businesses to succeed but can also be powerful tools for other organizations. Since then, JSA has applied those proven methods to help public school districts, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities find ways to achieve operating excellence in spite of the reality of dwindling resources. JSA helps organizations find ways to do more for less by improving their operating effectiveness, upgrading their management capabilities, and changing the "way they do business."
