John Hogan – Principal On the Floor Consulting
Introduction
On the Floor Consulting helps businesses break through growth barriers by crafting a 10-year vision, setting annual and quarterly objectives, and systematizing operations through our North Star Operating Model. As your Interim COO, I don’t just build the plan—I mobilize it, working on the floor with employees closest to the work to uncover unseen risks, issues, and opportunities. This hands-on approach ensures root causes are fixed, operations are streamlined, and teams are aligned. The result? Lower costs, completed initiatives, and scalable growth that frees leaders to focus ON the business—not just IN it.
