Our Services
Rossman Partners is a management advisory firm guiding our clients on solving wicked problems and winning at big bets. We are invested in your success. We aim to deliver our clients a unique “power-to-weight” ratio (P/W Ratio). “Power” is the ambitious competitive differentiation, speed, and lasting impact. “Weight” is the expense, effort, and risk in attaining these results. We believe our P/W Ratio is, at a minimum, 10x legacy management consulting.
Our focus on complex and valuable problems, aligning our compensation with outcomes, and our innovative delivery approaches combine for a true partnership, independent thinking, and advice.
Faster, with More Impact, with Less Expense and Risk. Sound interesting?

Wicked Problem Consulting: We are experts in high-value, high-risk, complex, and unique situations. These are sometimes called “wicked problems”. We bring a team dedicated to understanding the crux of the problem, identifying a proposed future state, and developing a holistic and “experiment-driven” path leading to success.
We recognize that most plans for wicked problems cannot be guaranteed or stated with certainty. We embrace this inherent uncertainty by developing an experiment-led path, often viewed as a portfolio approach to management versus a simplistic roadmap.

Executive Coaching and Advisory — Become a Big Bet Legend
Our CxO coaching and advisory approach is like no other. We focus on a business problem, measure up front, and meet typically on an every-other week basis, and measure progress after a quarter. There is homework between our meetings and adhoc discussions. You have access to our experts for specific needs. We develop your leadership expertise on being the transformational leader you aspire to be by solving a wicked problem and developing a big bet.
The outcomes are that we help your business succeed at a Big Bet, and your leadership skills are adjusted for major transformations, putting you on the path of becoming a Big Bet Legend.
Big Bet Turn-Around and Pressure Tests
Big Bets often go sideways, or you want to find out where the weakness and unsurfaced risks are for your Big Bet. You are not alone. Using proprietary techniques, we deliver an independent opinion and concrete plan for turning your transformation or situation around. Remember, Big Bet Legends do three things to succeed at Big Bets — they create clarity, maintain velocity, and accelerate risk and value. Let’s put these habits to work for you.
We aspire for a radically different “power-to-weight” ratio — 10x insights at a fraction of the effort or expense of traditional management consulting.
