The Engine Room

Where Analysis Empowers Ideas

About Us

Analyzing, Identifying and Mitigating Your Risk

The Engine Room solves current and unforeseen problems by analyzing and identifying your risks, and mitigating them by applying policy, process and communications resources. 

The Championship Caliber Edge

As lead consultant to  a major professional sports league, The Engine Room has supported new initiatives from ideation to implementation. 


We have collaborated in identifying a broad range of risks both on- and off-the-field. We have offered effective, strategic solutions that include policy adjustments, process and controls, and, in many cases, a compressive media plan to communicate to the public.


Over the past decade, we have effectively mitigated risk through employee engagement, executive coaching, diversity and inclusion, image management, process and control, communications, and policy and rules  analysis.

​Our distinctive methodology with arguably the most successful business in the sports industry has significant value to your business. We not only take a creative, yet pragmatic, business approach toward ideation, analysis, and  problem solving, but also apply a championship-caliber edge in spirit and momentum that results in  “lightening in the bottle” solutions.

Your success is our mission

Our mission is to empower clients to protect their brand, develop their future, and to grow a sustainable and successful business. ​


Our vision is to apply business engineering concepts of ideation, analysis, risk management, and engagement to solve problems, increase productivity, and facilitate success.
