Organizational Assessments are a great first step to initiate action towards positive organizational change.  Through interviews, focus groups and/or employee surveys, our consultants help leaders identify high priority areas of opportunity and provide tangible, targeted recommendations for immediate actions to improve organizational performance.  Organizations are complex systems with many parts that must be aligned and working properly to achieve optimal performance.  Many organizations do not have the resources to navigate and pinpoint objectively where and how they can change to get the most out of their workforce.  Our consultants help leaders address the root causes of their organizational problems in a way that builds leadership credibility, employee commitment, and organizational capability to be more competitive in the marketplace.

An organization’s ability to define and execute a sound strategic plan differentiates a great company from the rest.  Strategic Planning helps organizations define who they are, what their customers need, where they are going in the next year or more and how to get there.  Effectively executing strategy requires Strategic Communications, along with Balanced Scorecards & Measurement, to ensure goal alignment, ownership, and commitment across all employees and partners.  Our consultants leverage proven Strategic Planning approaches that are tailored to meet your needs whether you’re refining your current strategy or defining a strategy for the first time.  Strategic Planning helps to ensure leaders are on the same page, provides clearer focus for the organization, and makes more efficient use of resources.

The Balanced Scorecard is a performance measurement framework used to translate and deploy strategy, track and manage a business, and drive improvement across the organization.  It is comprised of a balanced set of leading and lagging measures, or Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), that align with the organizational strategy and reflect the theory of the business, such as what are the key drivers of financial results.  The Balanced Scorecard also aligns with short term and long term goals to guide current performance and progress towards the long term vision of the organization.  Our consultants facilitate a proven process with your team or entire organization to develop and deploy Balanced Scorecards so that you can more effectively manage your business with a measurement dashboard that informs you to take proactive action when necessary.  Incentives and rewards can be tied to your Balanced Scorecard ensuring that your entire reward system is driving the right strategically-aligned behavior.  Research shows that measurement-managed organizations outperform those that do not use measurement as one of their key management tools.

Our consultants facilitate Interactive Workshops (or “Offsites”) with small leadership teams and large groups such as entire businesses or departments to achieve significant outcomes in a compressed period of time.  Facilitated Offsites engage key stakeholders in planning, solving problems, and accelerating organizational change and transformation.  These interactive workshops, typically involving participants across levels and departments, enable a critical mass of the organization to develop a visible, common database and commitment to achieving the same goals.  Our consultants collaborate with organizational leaders to design and facilitate workshops to achieve specific objectives, although auxiliary benefits typically include greater leadership credibility, teamwork, trust, organizational alignment and commitment among participants.  This robust approach can be used for strategy development and deployment, organizational culture change, process and organization redesign, merger/acquisition integration, and teambuilding.  Workshop design techniques, including effective logistics support practices, enable the workshops to run seamlessly and efficiently with small teams and groups as large as 1000.
