About Us
Who we are…
A community of industry enthusiasts, operators, and advocates, who view the plant as both medicine and a lifestyle. Our goal is to be a standard for quality and service in the industry.
We are here to bridge the gap between the traditional market—community, culture, creativity, and health— and corporate operations—process, accountability, data, financial controls, technology, and scalability—and blend them without stripping away the character that made this industry what it is.
Since entering the licensed markets, we realized that the cannabis businesses open for ten years are facing the same challenges as the ones open for 10 days: lack of training, services, and support.
So we made our own,
“Its the same thing we’ve been doing since high-school, its just legal now.”
What we do…
We have a history of,
Reducing cost and waste
Increasing market share, revenue, and margins
We do this using a combination of,
Consulting
Training
Revenue Recovery
Data analysis
App development.
“If we cant find you at least $15,000 in savings annually, you probably don’t need our help!”
How we do it…
Cannabis Driven Management brings a program of cannabis focused business philosophy, principles, and methodology designed to scale your business.
With decades of hands on experience, we help take the guess work out of costly mistakes by introducing tried and true processes adopted by operators all over the country.

and, of course, compliance—which overlaps everything we do.
Whether your just getting started, an experienced operator, or a legacy veteran, CDM is here to gently guide you on your cannabis journey.
Cannabis Life-Cycle Management
We understand that sometimes the story doesn't end after the sale, and the planning often needs to begin long before the seed hits the soil.
Understanding how all of these pieces work together is a process we call Cannabis Life-cycle Management: understanding the entire supply chain from seed to sale, before, after, everything in between.
This means taking a grand view of both operations and technology stacks to identify waste, opportunities for efficiency, and potential savings.
Our Process…
We approach that work through a process we call ABLE:
Assess → Build → Launch → Evaluate
Assess — Assess the situation; what are the processes, what are the pain points.
Build — Design the solution. That could mean a process, SOP, training program, reporting system, technology implementation, workflow, or combination of them.
Launch — Put it into the real operation. Train the people involved, establish accountability, and make the new process part of everyday business.
Evaluate — Measure the results against the original objective. Verify that it works, identify what doesn't, and determine what should happen next.
