Strategic Business Planning

Instrumentally contributed to the launch of the worldwide strategic consulting consortium, StratXTeam (http://www.stratxteam.com/). StratX is diminutive for “Strategy To Execution,” and the primary mission is to educate corporate leaders on strategic planning, management, and operations. Specifically, StratX provides expertise in aligning daily operations with corporate vision, and ensuring those operations actually advance the business toward that vision.  

Significantly contributed to Zions Bancorporation and its affiliated institutions in a 6-State area toward selecting and prioritizing future projects designed to have significant (multi-million $) financial impact. Specifically, Mr. Murphy used a number of highly-sophisticated analytical tools - together with human-rationale methodologies - to guide executives on which projects to execute that best aligned with their corporate vision, as well as advising why certain projects should not be undertaken.

Strategically directed the launch of the GroupWare Division of Best Consulting, a computer project management and consulting firm, and led the division to financial breakeven in less than 1 year. Formulated the strategic plan, recruited 8 consultants, and built vendor relationships with Microsoft and IBM. Drove new business development, and structured and delivered portfolios, programs, and projects for key accounts.
