Boston, MA - September 17, 2025 – GBMP Consulting Group, a trusted Lean and Continuous Improvement resource for more than 30 years, and LinkedXL, founded by industry leader Billy Taylor, today announced a new partnership to co-brand and deliver a comprehensive solution for strategic planning and deployment.

The alliance combines GBMP’s expertise in teaching leaders to think strategically - defining vision, aligning priorities, and building leadership capability - with LinkedXL’s cutting-edge LinkedXL-OS, operating system software, which transforms strategy into execution with clear ownership, governance, and measurable results.

“This partnership closes the gap between planning and execution,” said Billy Taylor. “Together, we provide both the strategic foundation and the execution engine organizations need for sustainable transformation.”

A Closed-Loop System for Transformation

The GBMP–LinkedXL model creates a continuous improvement cycle: Vision → Strategy → Execution → Results.

Key benefits include:
- Strategic Clarity: GBMP equips leaders with the tools to build effective roadmaps.
- Execution & Accountability: LinkedXL OS software ensures strategies are consistently delivered with measurable CPIs and KPIs.
- Integrated Training & Deployment: No gaps between vision and results.
- Quick Start Access: Clients can leverage LinkedXL’s 6-step quick start guide and receive complimentary 30-day sandbox access during the 2025 Northeast Lean Conference.

Launching at the 2025 Northeast Lean Conference

Dan Fleming said, “The partnership will officially launch at the 21st Annual Northeast Lean Conference, October 27–28, 2025 in Manchester, NH, where attendees can meet Billy Taylor and myself along with the GBMP team.”

Organizations still developing strategy can work with GBMP to define vision, priorities, and leadership capability using tools like the X-Matrix. For those ready to execute, LinkedXL’s OS provides the governance and accountability to turn strategy into breakthrough results.
