Business Systems & Workflow Consulting for Small Businesses in Metro Detroit

Helping professional service organizations reduce administrative overload, clarify workflows, and evaluate technology use — without disruptive implementations.

See how it works

Minimal professional workspace with notebook, pen, and desk accessories in neutral tones.

When systems aren’t clear, everything takes longer.

  • Administrative work crowds out revenue-generating activity

  • Tasks are repeated or handled inconsistently

  • Tools exist, but no one is sure what’s actually helping

  • Key decisions live in people’s heads instead of documented processes

A structured, risk-aware approach led by real operational experience

GLBS applies a review-based, documentation-first approach commonly used in regulated and high-accountability environments.

Services focus on evaluating current-state systems, identifying risks and inefficiencies, and providing clear, written findings that support informed decision-making — whether improvements are handled internally, deferred, or implemented later.

  • Background in regulated, high accountability environments

  • Documentation-first, process-driven reviews

  • No implementation pressure or long-term contracts

  • Designed for small teams who need clarity, not complexity
