Stop treating symptoms. Free yourself from workarounds. Build the habit of shipping.
You’re not short on opportunities. You’re short on shipping change that sticks.
If you’re the person who owns the outcome — COO, ops lead, advancement, partnership, or practice lead — you already know the pattern:
- The “temporary” process that became the real process
- Three systems that almost talk to each other
- A vendor or consultant who left you with something you can’t run
- A roadmap that grows while shipping stalls
I work with growth and mid-market operators who are done treating symptoms. You don’t need another deck. You need a clear path from messy reality to systems and habits your team can own.
Right fit if: you make the call (or sit next to the person who does), you want honest tradeoffs, and you’re ready to change how work gets done — not decorate the mess with another project.
Wrong fit if: you want bodies on a bench, a rubber stamp on a tool you already picked, or someone who will build around a broken process without saying so.
Don’t just take my word for it.
These folks are operators like you who wanted to be free from workarounds — and to regularly drive change in their organizations.
Roger quickly diagnosed and articulated our essential problems, cutting through complexity with remarkable clarity. His direct, no-nonsense approach stood in stark contrast to the convoluted methodologies and drawn-out timelines of other consultants we've engaged. Roger is uniquely qualified across a wide variety of topics, with his advice outshining big consulting firms who charge 10-100x more.
Edward Hong, Global Investment Bank
He's invested time to understand our business and long-term vision, then consistently turn that vision into reality. Roger is able to quickly diagnose issues, collaborate with us to solve in a way that feels empowering. He's been a mentor and educator for our team -- not just a consultant, but a partner who has made a real difference for our firm.
Laura Plants, Wealth Management
I have worked closely with Roger at Dodge Labs on large, impactful digital transformation projects that brought meaningful change for my organization. He has an extraordinary ability to take in complex, messy processes and provide streamlined, well-thought-out solutions. Unlike previous consultants who left us with tech debt and ineffective systems we struggled to manage, Roger provides an honest, critical eye to solve problems we thought were insurmountable. Because of this and his ability to meaningfully coach and guide our team, we are now able to maintain and iterate on the solutions we built together.

Recommending Roger as Dodge Labs is easy; he's an extremely accomplished architect with vast industry knowledge, and the Dodge Labs business model provides world-class knowledge at a fraction of hiring in-house. The hidden strength of the Dodge Labs model is the cross-pollination of current state of the art or best practice implementations. Driving this model is Roger's direct intelligence, clear communication and consultative approach.
Tyler Colby, International Environmental Advocacy Org
I've had the privilege of working with Roger for more than 15 years, and his contributions to our company, Idlewild, have been truly invaluable. Roger consistently provides thoughtful, insightful, and honest advice. What sets Roger apart is not only his technical skill but also his genuine commitment to our partnership and to the success of our business. He approaches every project with care, professionalism, and a solutions-oriented mindset that makes him feel like a true member of our team. It's rare to find someone who shows up with such expertise, reliability, and dedication-and we feel fortunate to have him as a trusted partner.
Staci Rice, Boutique Consultancy for Nonprofits
I have had the pleasure of partnering with Dodge Labs on multiple initiatives to streamline and enhance our operational processes. Roger has an exceptional ability to transform challenges into opportunities-whenever I bring him a pain point, he not only delivers a solution but elevates it ten steps further. His solutions consistently automate processes, improve data accuracy, and save our team valuable time. What truly sets Roger apart is his ability to anticipate our needs before we even articulate them. This intuitive understanding makes our design discussions efficient and productive. Working with Dodge Labs has been an outstanding experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking innovative, results-driven solutions.

Two ways to work together. One point of contact.
When you hire Dodge Labs, you’re hiring an experienced architect and operator. You’re not getting bait-and-switch, some offshore team half-a-world away, or a bench of billable bodies.
Advisory
You own the decisions. I help you see the problem clearly, pressure-test options, and choose a path you can stand behind — architecture, readiness, sequencing, and second opinions when the stakes are high.
Best for when you need a sharp operator in the room, not a delivery crew.
Projects
You hire the outcome. I diagnose, design, build, and hand off something your team can maintain and iteratively improve.
Best for when the path is clear enough to execute and you want one accountable owner from start to ship.
Let’s stay connected.
I write a short email for operators. Advice the way I’d say it on a call. When it’s worth your time, it lands in your inbox. Read it, use it, or delete it. No ads, no spam, no bullshit.
