What Execution Partners does

Execution Partners LLC is a privately held, boutique management consulting firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Founded in 2016, the firm helps manufacturing and industrial companies improve performance and achieve strategic objectives through focused execution support, with a primary vertical focus on manufacturing (automotive, plastics, metals, cable, packaging, printing, and equipment). The company operates with 1-10 employees under a three-partner structure (Managing Partner Stijn Van de Velde, Founding Partner Aubrie Street, and Partner Joseph Etris).

The firm's core offering is the proprietary PRO3 Execution Systems methodology, a framework that aligns people, processes, and technology to enable sustainable performance improvement. This methodology underpins six service lines: Project Management Services, Process Improvement Services, Problem Solving Services, Project Execution Systems (helping organizations build in-house PM capability), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) navigation and implementation, and Business Execution Systems based on Baldrige and EFQM frameworks. Execution Partners is technology-agnostic, recommending best-fit solutions rather than reselling specific vendor products, and holds a strategic USA implementation partnership with Proceedix for digital work-instruction deployments.

The business model is pure professional services: revenue is generated through custom consulting engagements, implementation support, training, and coaching delivered directly to enterprise clients on a project or retainer basis. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement, partner-led outreach, thought leadership via the company website, and client referrals, with no channel partners, resellers, or digital marketing at scale. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named clients include AFL (Cable & Connectivity), and the firm targets companies facing execution challenges, process deterioration, or lacking internal bandwidth for complex projects.

Product overview

Execution Partners is a professional services firm that offers consulting and implementation services rather than a unified software platform. The core offering is the PRO3 Execution Systems methodology, which provides a framework for sustainable performance improvement through the alignment of people, processes, and technology. This methodology underpins multiple service offerings including Project Management Services, Process Improvement Services, and Problem Solving Services. The company also implements specialized execution systems for specific domains: Project Execution Systems for building internal project management capabilities, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for manufacturing operations management, and Business Execution Systems for comprehensive enterprise-wide execution based on Baldrige and EFQM frameworks.

Direct peers

• TBM Consulting Group: TBM Consulting Group is a Lean Six Sigma and operational excellence consultancy focused on manufacturing, supply chain, and back-office process improvement. It is a direct peer because both firms sell structured methodology-driven execution and process improvement services to manufacturing clients, differentiated by TBM's larger scale and global footprint.
• Partners in Performance: Partners in Performance is a global operations consulting firm that helps industrial clients achieve sustainable performance improvement through hands-on execution support. It is a direct peer because both firms deliver operator-level, methodology-driven execution and operational improvement work in heavy industry and manufacturing.
• Gemba Academy: Gemba Academy provides Lean and continuous improvement training, coaching, and implementation support to manufacturers. It is a direct peer because both firms serve manufacturing clients with structured process improvement, problem solving, and execution enablement services.
• Kepner-Tregoe: Kepner-Tregoe is a consulting and training firm specializing in structured problem solving, decision making, and project execution. It is a direct peer because Execution Partners' Problem Solving and Project Management services cover substantively similar territory using comparable structured methodologies.

Broad incumbents

• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey is a global management consulting firm that advises large industrial clients on strategy, operations, and transformation. It is a broad incumbent because it overlaps with Execution Partners' strategy execution, process improvement, and operational assessment work, but at vastly greater scale, breadth, and price point.
• Bain & Company: Bain is a global management consulting firm with a strong operations and performance improvement practice serving industrial clients. It is a broad incumbent that competes for the same transformation and execution mandates Execution Partners targets, but typically at the enterprise-program level.
• Deloitte Consulting: Deloitte is a Big 4 advisory firm with a large operations transformation and manufacturing consulting practice. It is a broad incumbent because it covers similar ground — MES, Industry 4.0, and operational improvement — but as part of a much wider portfolio of services.

Regional players

• Slalom Consulting: Slalom is a US-based consulting firm with deep regional delivery hubs that serves mid-market and enterprise clients on operations, transformation, and technology implementation. It is a regional player comparable to Execution Partners in mid-market project and process work, with stronger geographic coverage across the US.

Others

• Resources Connection (RGP): RGP provides on-demand consulting and execution support across project management, process improvement, and change management functions. It is a comparable peer in delivering project and process execution talent to enterprise clients, though its model is staffing-led rather than methodology-led.
• PMI (Project Management Institute): PMI is a global not-for-profit professional association for project management that publishes widely adopted standards and certifications. It is a thematically adjacent peer in the sense that Execution Partners' project management services reference the same body of methodology, but PMI does not compete as a consulting firm.
