Trek Consulting Information

Trek Consulting works with the owners of privately-held businesses. Over the course of the past decade, Trek has helped over 50 client companies to grow, prosper and prepare for ownership transition. Our work is at the intersection of two emerging fields: exit planning and intangible capital. We are national leaders in both fields and have founded networks in each of the two fields: the Exit Planning Exchange and the IC Knowledge Center. Trek’s founding partners, Michael Oleksak and Mary Adams, are the authors of Intangible Capital: Putting Knowledge to Work in the 21st Century Organization (Praeger, 2010). Today the tangible assets owned by companies are essentially commodities. The reason they wrote the book is that intangible capital provides the only unique competitive advantage available to Trek’s clients. Most people think that these intangibles are vague, “soft” and invisible. Nothing can be further from the truth. Intangibles drive your ability to generate growth, innovation and profits. Trek is a leader in the U.S. in intangibles and can help you measure, manage and monetize this competitive advantage.
