Why Accountability Holds Everything Together

The best software, processes, and equipment won’t deliver results if no one is clearly responsible for execution. In growing companies, accountability can’t be shared or left vague - it must be owned by one person. Jon helps stone industry leaders build that clarity into their operations, ensuring that goals don’t get lost in the shuffle but actually get done.

What Clients Are Saying

Bill Heuer
Co-Founder – TCF Midwest
"As a business owner, we are always looking for ways to improve our overall operation and increase our bottom line.  Working with Jon and the Kaplan Consulting team, we were able to achieve these goals in a tangible way and make a significant positive impact to our business.  I would highly recommend other business owners to sit down with Jon and see what Kaplan Consulting can do to help their business."
Duan Coqui
Owner – Stone World TN Inc.
"Jon has been instrumental in coaching us through the growth Stone World experienced in 2019. He helped us implement EOS into our organization. This engaged all our employees in structured meetings and gave them a voice that was heard. Jon also helped us fully implement our Stone Profit system. Without Jon's help we would have never realized the power of Stone Profits. Jon's financial background gave us access to benchmarking data for our industry which we used to measure Stone Worlds performance against other similar sized companies. We used this data to make improvements in our company. I can highly recommend Jon to any company. He is not just another consultant he actually managed a group of companies and has hands on experience."
Joe Alva
CEO – Poseidon Industries, Inc,
"Kaplan Consulting has made a huge difference for us on the way that we organize, our teams, processes, departments, enabling us to grow faster while become scalable, and maximizing efficiency!"
