Welcome

Robert Damelio, President since 1988

 

THE BOTTOM LINE GROUP (BLG) is a management consulting firm that provides resources and services to improve knowledge work.

I firmly believe that THE BOTTOM LINE GROUP is more than just a name– it’s a mindset.    To many, the phrase “bottom line” suggests a focus on profit.  As a business owner myself, I agree with that focus with one very important caveat:  a firm’s people and it’s profit are interdependent, that is, changes to one always affect the other.

 

 

 

My Promise to You

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for a quick fix or simple recipe, I can tell you I’ll have none of that. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a dream come true for people like you. If you decide to go elsewhere now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, and later decide I can help, I will look out for you. I will work closely with you, and I will help you.

Here is a link to the memorable scene from the movie, Taken upon which “my promise to you” is based.

 

Guiding Principles

 

  • Nothing worthwhile is easy
  • Change is a constant
  • There are always alternatives
  • Talk may be cheap, I am not
  • It turns out that very often you do get what you pay for
  • Making it through the day, and making a difference are both choices.  I choose the latter
  • Good intentions are useful and desirable, but sustainable results have a longer shelf-life
  • Do the right thing
  • Whenever you can, learn from the best; whatever you do, learn
  • Every organization and person has untapped potential-and some realize it
  • One person can make a difference;  everyone wants to win
  • Expect more, achieve more
  • Worthy achievements matter
  • Defy mediocrity
  • In my natural state I am an iconoclast.  But, every so often,  I just do what comes naturally to me
  • Think different
