What makes us Unique

Thrive Playbook

We aren’t creating ideas on the fly. We leverage our proprietary Thrive Playbook – a unique and systematic framework designed to lead and guide businesses toward sustainable success. The THRIVE PLAYBOOK encapsulates MBL Partner’s strategic methodologies, drawing on extensive actual business learnings and experiences in companies at all sizes and stages and a commitment to fostering sustained enhancements. With each experience, we are constantly learning, improving, and progressing the playbook’s features.

UNRELENTING FOCUS ON TRUTH

We operate with unwavering transparency, ensuring that decisions, insights, and actions are based on an unfiltered and honest assessment of the facts. We know that business and organizations operate in dynamic environments, and we look for every data point to assess and reassess the facts and what they mean. Leaders can expect straightforward and truthful feedback, fostering an environment of trust and accountability.

RELATIONAL OVER TRANSACTIONAL

We prioritize long-term relationships, focusing on understanding partners' unique needs, challenges, and goals. MBL Partners fosters a collaborative environment, where trust and mutual understanding form the foundation of every engagement.

ALIGNED INCENTIVES

Beyond providing advice, MBL Partners strives to invest alongside our partners, aligning interests for shared risks and rewards. This approach fosters and ownership mentality, treating partners’ challenges and successes as its own.  We own what we work on.

EXECUTION SPEED

We move fast, we keep our commitments, and we make decisions – we believe this is a foundational differentiator.

Understanding MBL Partners Through Our Logo

The logo mark of MBL Partners, a stylized "bee" icon, encapsulates the very essence of our brand. This design intricately combines the initials 'MBL,' representing Mathison, Lindsley, and Burbidge. These initials form a heart, symbolizing the unity and deep connection forged by our families and community, with "Burbidge" honoring the maiden name of the founding partners wives, who are sisters.  The top diamond represents the mind, serving as a constant reminder to seek knowledge and lead with strategic thinking. The middle diamond embodies the soul, encouraging us to trust our instincts and stay true to our core values. Together, these elements converge to create an abstracted bee, symbolizing the power of hard work, collective strength, and adaptability.
