Operations
Consulting
Many initiatives fall short, not from a failure of strategy, but from a failure of execution. Clear Point Group can help bring clarity to your operational challenges, develop innovative solutions and aid in implementation – so you fully realize the exceptional results you seek.
Experience Matters
Superior execution requires the right operational elements – such as organization design, staffing levels and assignments, process flows, and market positioning. We excel in helping you achieve operational excellence in the following areas:
Human Capital Management
Properly acquiring and managing the right individuals for your organization is the key to long-term success. Our services help you with HR issues such as recruitment and staffing systems, employee performance management, and organization design.
Technology Management
Science and technology are core competencies of most of our clients. We help companies refine their systems for converting basic science and innovation into exceptional competitive advantages – both in the marketplace and in their internal systems.
Security
Our clients recognize the critical importance of security in their operations, as well as the services and products they offer their own customers. Clear Point Group advises companies on security issues (physical, network, etc.) as well as positioning products and services in a security-conscious marketplace. Our capabilities in this area include audits and security certifications (such as FIPS, Common Criteria/ISO 15408, and ICSA).
General Management Issues
Internal auditing effectiveness is more important than ever – especially in light of Sarbanes-Oxley and other requirements. Clear Point advises companies on auditing effectiveness and provides external auditing of processes and controls. Ethics and compliance are additional considerations of our clients. Our firm also assists with important management issues such as mergers, joint ventures, and licensing.
Marketing
Market research and analysis are important first steps in developing a company’s successful positioning. Clear Point has extensive experience in advising on critically important marketing issues, such as successfully selling to the government and preparing a multi-billion dollar product for a blockbuster launch.
Quality, Safety, and Facility Performance
Clear Point’s staff includes engineers with decades of experience in plant management, product quality, regulatory compliance, and safety management. We put these capabilities to use on engagements dealing with manufacturing efficiency, plant operator training, maintenance procedures, and department organization.
Execution Fundamentals
Structural Design
Successful execution starts with the right structure – one that efficiently supports your goals and objectives. Clear Point Group works with you to understand and build the appropriate structure, covering all aspects from reporting relationships to management’s span of control. With the company’s objectives, culture and individual personalities in mind, we help you find the right structure that can serve as the foundation for future success.
Staffing Effectiveness
Closely linked with structure, Clear Point Group helps clients determine the right staffing levels, competencies, and the roles and responsibilities of individuals assigned within the structure.
Operational Efficiency
In every aspect of the value chain, from personnel and manufacturing to marketing and logistics, Clear Point Group is experienced in extracting efficiencies and demonstrable improvements in an organization’s operations. We help you determine the necessary steps to execute on your goals effectively, efficiently and at consistently high quality.

Testimonials
What’s our clients’ say about us
I had the privilege of working for Keith for over two years, on a major utility scale solar plant. Plus, I supported him when he led the 1.2 GW solar plant in Abu Dhabi. I can confidently say that he is one of the most remarkable leaders I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Not only is Keithincredibly punctual, always setting a standard for timely delivery and clear expectations, but he is also deeply data-oriented, relying on facts and figures to guide decisions rather than assumptions. This approach consistently ensured that the project was executed efficiently.
What truly sets Keith apart, however, is his honesty and fairness. Whether it was providing constructive feedback or making tough decisions, he always handled situations with transparency and integrity. He took the time to listen to everyone’s perspective and made decisions that were both just and balanced.
Beyond being a great manager, Keith also became a true friend. His approachability and genuine care for others foster a positive, collaborative work environment, where I always felt respected and valued. It’s rare to come across someone who balances professionalism with kindness as seamlessly as he does.
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from Keith, and I highly recommend Keith as both a leader and a friend.
Nabil Hamade
I had the privilege of working with Keith for six years in the UAE, where he served as the Project Director in a Solar EPC company. Back then, as an administrative professional, I was deeply inspired by Keith’s exceptional work ethic, expertise in engineering, project management, and his trailblazing influence to be a natural achiever. His guidance and mentorship pushed me to deepen my knowledge in construction management, which ultimately propelled me into my current role as a Program Manager. Keith taught me how to balance professionalism with empathy, and to always strive in finding solutions that benefit everyone involved. He has always been an insightful leader, he provided invaluable perspectives that helped me grow both professionally and personally.
Keith’s credibility and experience make him an outstanding leader, and I’m truly grateful for the lasting impact he’s had on my career.
