Convergence Strategy
Strategic & Operational Advisory
Operational clarity | Margin | Momentum
I help founders and leaders find what is actually holding the operation back, build the systems that fix it, and stay alongside while it takes hold.
When things feel harder than they should
Most organizations reach a point where what used to work no longer does.
Growth creates strain, capacity hits its limits, and clarity fades. Working harder doesn't fix it, because the problem isn't effort. It's the system underneath the effort.
You may recognize some of these:
-
The team is working hard, but progress feels inconsistent
-
Decisions keep getting revisited because the system behind them isn't clear
-
Stress spikes around production, fulfillment, or planning cycles
-
New initiatives add effort but don't relieve the underlying pressure
-
Hiring more people hasn't solved the problem
-
Too much still runs through the founder
How we work together
Process before platform. We fix how the work flows before we buy or build anything.
1. Diagnose
We find the one or two constraints actually binding the system. That comes from conversations with your team, a look at the numbers, and a walk through how work really moves. You get a clear read and a plan for what to do in what order. Fixed fee, agreed before we start.
2. Build
We put the structure in place: roles and decision rights, operating rhythms, workflows, and the right tools for them. Built with your team, not handed to them.
3. Steward
Change takes hold over seasons, not weeks. I stay alongside as a fractional operating partner, keeping priorities clear and the rhythm steady so the gains don't slip back.
Who I work with
-
Founder-led and owner-operated companies that have outgrown how they were built
-
Mission-driven organizations doing more with less
-
Leaders with a clear vision who need someone to turn it into a working operation
-
Past and current work spans food production, construction, nonprofits and faith-based organizations.

About
I'm Jon Epps. For 20 years I've worked inside organizations under strain, finding what's really in the way and building what's needed to move forward. I work steadily, tell the truth about what I see, and measure success by whether the organization runs better after I've stepped back.
