Meet the Enable Team

Enable Co-Founder
A Note from Dane DeLozier, Co-Founder of Enable
Somehow the opportunities that arise give us the experience that we need to open new ones. It was a gift in the late 1990s when Jack Fitzgibbons, the then President of The JPM Company, asked his senior leadership team to be further trained in Lean Enterprise at the University of Tennessee under Tom Greenwood. The mission was clear. The JPM company had grown incredibly fast, yet because of an economic downturn, was in trouble. The company had to return to profitability and the goal was to sell it to a larger organization who could scale with the market when the economy turned favorable.
I had just become Vice President of Sales and Marketing at the time, and it was a major challenge for the company. However, this is where the real learning began. I had already become comfortable with entrepreneurial experiences. This was a new mountain to climb, and I was quickly learning the value of a process. We did eventually neutralize losses and successfully sell the business to a world class electronics manufacturing company.
More importantly, I learned some very key elements to how we get team members operating in concert and toward one common goal. Humans want to coalesce, and they want to be successful together. Introducing just a little bit of structure in how we communicate, having a process for what we do when something goes wrong, and most importantly clarifying expectations are critical aspects to enabling the outcomes we want to achieve. This is also a keystone in what has become the Enable™️ Management System.
Following the JPM experience, my career continued to develop around mission specific assignments. People started coming to me to help their organizations achieve outcomes. Whether it was to turn a company around, figure out its next product platform, or achieve an exit, a process was needed and a process developed. And, it really worked!
Fast forward to 2015, I started to realize that many companies struggle to get their teams focused on the vital few things that will achieve success; and that sharing those insights, more importantly giving them a process, could help them get their targeted outcomes.
I truly believe that it was either pre-ordained or the universe was listening.
Meeting key folks in my journey could not have been more clarifying for me personally. They not only had direct and relevant experience, they helped build this into an accessible implementation path for small and midsized businesses, whether for profit or non-profit.
Welcoming Patrick Jessee
Patrick and I got to know one another back in 2013 in a CEO forum. Right away, I knew he shared our passion for unlocking value in organizations helping them achieve results. His past executive roles coupled with his M&A legal background provided the ability for Enable to help companies not only improve operationally but also take a company all the way through an exit. Because of Patrick’s capacity to provide legal guidance and close a deal (married with his passion and experience with strategy and execution), Enable offers a consultation that nearly no one offers.

Very few Strategy and Operational Excellence consulting companies also offer full deal representation completely through the closing. Equally, nearly no investment banker or business broker will “get into” the business helping them make the difficult decisions or changes to get better exit values.
