We offer a wide range of consulting services including customized business strategy development, facilitation of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and investments, and guidance on special situations involving crises, public perception, municipal negotiations and employee relations.

Perspective, Analysis, Strategy & Action

Everything starts with strategy, yet daily tasks and demands can reduce time for it. Weeks, months, then years can go by without revisiting and updating your strategy.

We can help with this before, during or after a surprise or unforeseen need has come up. Seasoned outside perspective is a must if for no other reason than to ensure your internal thinking is on the right track.

Whether proactive or reactive, Kurschner Consulting quickly analyzes a situation, asks relevant questions and provides strategic guidance, planning and execution.

Perspective

Founder Dale Kurschner is a former entrepreneur, corporate executive, elected official and leading financial journalist who most recently served as Editor in Chief of Twin Cities Business. He has experience in private equity, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, crisis management and municipal relations, as well as media relations and on-air commentating (television and radio). He leverages this experience while working with seasoned professionals at Platinum Group.

A must in our industry is to maintain a network of key connections and timely perspective on issues that matter the most to business owners, CEOs, boards and investors. We demonstrate

privately with our clients and publicly through various endeavors including an annual Meaningful Capitalism Awards program.

Another example is how, in the height of uncertainty in the early days of COVID-19, we launched one of the nation's first series of online CEO interviews. These “One Take CEO Interviews” were unedited discussions with the state's most significant business leaders including Xcel Energy's Ben Fowke, Allina Health's Penny Wheeler, Anytime Fitness's Chuck Runyon, Restaurant Technologies’ Jeff Kiesel, Faribault Woolen Mill's Paul Grangaard and Summit Brewing's Mark Stutrud. We also produced interviews with nine Platinum Group experts on how best to navigate through the 2020 pandemic.
