Experience that stays close to the work

Clear strategy for the way your operation actually works.

We work with owners and managers to identify the gaps that hold their businesses back—from inefficient processes and inconsistent accountability to underperforming teams and missed revenue opportunities. Then, we develop practical strategies designed around the way their operation actually works.

Lasting improvement does not come from a generic playbook. It comes from understanding the operation, identifying the right opportunities, creating a clear plan, and helping leadership execute it consistently.

EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE STRATEGY

Built From Real-World Operations

Harris Performance & Strategy Group was founded by Drake Harris, an automotive service operations leader with years of hands-on experience building teams, improving processes, managing performance, and driving measurable results.

Drake's approach to consulting comes from working inside the operation—not observing it from the outside. His experience includes leading multi-location service operations, developing technicians and service teams, improving workflow and accountability, managing key performance indicators, and building systems designed to improve both customer experience and profitability.

Before his automotive leadership career, Drake served in the United States Army, where leadership, accountability, discipline, and execution became foundational principles that continue to influence his approach to business today.

Harris Performance & Strategy Group was created to bring that practical experience to other automotive businesses. The objective is straightforward: understand the operation, identify what is holding it back, develop a clear strategy, and help leadership turn that strategy into sustainable results.

Real experience. Practical strategy. Measurable improvement.
