How Imperio Consulting Helps Organizations Thrive Under Pressure and Change

Today’s organizations face a constant barrage of challenges and pressures. They must skillfully navigate economic fluctuations, technological innovations, and a host of other changes if they hope to stay ahead.

Imperio Consulting is ready to help organizations adapt and thrive under these pressures by leveraging hard-won lessons taken directly from the battlefield. At the heart of their methodology is the Green Beret Approach: an innovative strategy that equips corporate teams with enhanced resilience, leadership, and collaboration.

“The Green Beret Approach is not just about survival,” observes Eric Brown, founder of Imperio Consulting. “It’s about thriving and achieving peak performance even when the odds are stacked against you.”

The inspiration behind Imperio Consulting and the Green Beret Approach

During his 24-year tenure in the US Armed Forces, including 20 years as a Green Beret, Brown saw deployment to challenging regions such as Afghanistan, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Djibouti, Guyana, and Kuwait. Each mission presented his team with unique challenges that required adaptability, resilience, and precise communication. 

To facilitate mission objectives, Brown quickly learned the importance of building trust and open communication with every member of the elite team. “During special operations, teamwork was critical. We knew our success hinged on understanding human dynamics and fostering collaboration.” 

After more than two decades, Brown retired from military service. To smooth his transition from Special Forces to the private sector, he participated in a program by The Honor Foundation, a nonprofit that supports Special Operations veterans in navigating their next career phase.

One key element of the program involved pairing participants with a mentor aligned with their professional aspirations, and Brown was paired with Guy Hart, CEO of Plus Delta Partners. 

For Brown, the mentorship ignited a striking revelation. “Our discussions centered on the incredible similarity between the strategic mindset of a Green Beret and the leadership insights of a successful corporate executive,” recalls Brown. “We discussed how the core principles I applied in Special Forces — leading by, with, and through others — addressed many of the challenges businesses face today.” 

Brown saw firsthand how so many organizations struggle with team cohesion, decision-making under pressure, and navigating change. Inspired by the conviction that his training could continue to make a difference, he developed the Green Beret Approach, a structured, repeatable process designed to help teams tackle these issues effectively.

“The Green Beret Approach adapts Special Operations tactics to the corporate landscape,” Brown explains. “We use it to give teams a roadmap for overcoming adversity. In a nutshell, the approach provides them with the framework to transform their obstacles into strategic opportunities. They learn to assess the environment, understand different perspectives, and respect diverse cultures. These principles are crucial whether you are leading troops overseas or guiding a corporate team through a complex project.”

Finally, we emphasize collaboration, promoting teamwork, and leveraging diverse perspectives to achieve common goals.”

These principles enhance team cohesion and effectiveness. By emphasizing clear communication, decisive action, and mutual trust, the Green Beret Approach prepares teams to handle high-pressure situations effectively. It instills confidence and resilience, enabling members to remain focused and perform optimally when faced with challenges.

Imperio Consulting’s approach to team development goes beyond conventional methods. They believe in unleashing success through collaboration.
