About Us
Who we are
Most executive teams operate with incomplete information, unexamined assumptions, and hidden biases that compromise even their best strategic thinking. Traditional consultants add more analysis but don't fix the underlying decision process.
Breakout Growth Partners takes a fundamentally different approach. We enhance your decision-making capability itself—giving you frameworks, tools, and insights that improve every strategic choice you make.
Led by Kerr Manson, who combines doctoral research in AI decision-making with 25+ years steering companies through critical inflection points, we help executive teams:
-
Frame the real strategic choice (not the apparent one)
-
Generate creative alternatives that others miss
-
Separate facts from assumptions
-
Build genuine commitment to act
This isn't consulting. It's decision intelligence—and it's the competitive advantage your leadership team needs.
How we work - Core Principles
-
Surface What's Hidden Every team has blind spots. We make bias visible, challenge sacred cows, and stress-test assumptions that others take as fact. The most dangerous risks are the ones you're not discussing.
-
Frame the Real Choice Most strategic failures stem from solving the wrong problem brilliantly. We ensure you're addressing the actual decision—with clear options, explicit trade-offs, and quantified uncertainties—before committing resources.
-
Build With, Not For Your experts know your business; we know decision science. Working alongside your team, we combine these strengths to uncover options neither would find alone. The capability we build together stays with you.
-
Truth Over Comfort We're hired to improve decisions, not validate predetermined outcomes. Expect respectful challenges to conventional thinking and uncomfortable questions that need asking.
-
Commit to Action Strategy without execution is a hallucination. We don't just deliver recommendations—we facilitate genuine commitment, establish clear accountability, and ensure implementation momentum.
