I am excited to share with you a little about myself and the philosophy behind Management Action Group. My name is Dr. Nathanael Lucas, and I bring years of experience as a business owner and consultant, working hands-on in real-world management. My passion for understanding what drives successful businesses has led me to conduct extensive research that extends the body of knowledge in this field. My findings have been published and are used today in both academic and practical business applications.

​

In 2018, my research culminated in a dissertation titled Identifying Relationships Between The Customer Focus Scores of Mission and Vision Statements and Customer Satisfaction Scores. These findings form the backbone of Management Action Group's business philosophy: focusing on nine specific strategic areas to elevate customer satisfaction. The result? Increased sustainability, growth, and profitability for the businesses we serve.

​

I'm thrilled to bring these insights to life through actionable strategies that drive real results for your business!

- Nathanael
