See What We Do

In his words

Golf is a lot like business. You can hit the perfect drive, watch it bounce off a sprinkler and go out of bounds. Next tee, you hook one into a tree and it drops in the middle of the fairway. The only thing we control is our attitude, and what we do next.

Johnny Biggs, Founder

The approach he built

Dream it. Build it.

The thinking Johnny brought to E.G. Solutions still shapes how we work with every client today.

Assess honestly

Start with where the business really is. Listen to the goals and the worries before recommending anything.

Dream it

No idea is dismissed in the first conversation. Big plans start with a clear picture of what the business could become.

Build it

A vision only matters once it is executed. Clear structure, a step-by-step plan and steady follow-through.

Strategic consulting

Let's talk business. Bring your clubs.

Johnny still takes on a small number of strategic consulting clients. If you are facing a big decision, a stalled project or a growth plan that needs a second opinion from someone who has run companies, he would love to hear about it.

Meetings can happen in an office, over coffee or on a call. His favorite is a round of golf, where the best ideas tend to show up somewhere on the course.

  • Business strategy for growth
  • Turnarounds and stalled projects
  • New products and new markets
  • Marketing and sales planning
  • Operational efficiency
  • Financial and management metrics
