Our Core Services

CONSULTING

Is your company's performance failing to meet your expectations?

Perhaps you may not understand the source of a breakdown inside your organization. This would indicate a need for customized consulting services. Since each situation is unique, we will help you diagnose the source of the breakdown and then provide a customized approach to improving performance. 

Business Assessments

Do you really know what is going on in your organization? A Business Improvement Assessment (BIA) is a comprehensive report on the current health of your organization. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement in all the essential management functions of your organization. Additionally it provides a detailed set of prioritized recommendations to close the gap between your current and desired state of Business Strategic Planning.

Business Planning

Does your current Strategic Plan only contain high level strategies, goals, and financial expectations, and not a detailed operational plan? Our Strategic Planning process sets itself apart by making sure your team has an actionable implementation plan to which they are held accountable.

Performance Management

Are you confident that your teams are consistently being held accountable for results they deliver? Our Performance Management System is designed to ensure your organization is set up to support each individual in fulfilling their accountabilities through an integrated approach.

Business Process Improvement

Is your entire organization working on the right things? We facilitate your work teams in identifying your core business processes and in designing or redesigning these processes to efficiently produce your products and/or services. 

Facilitation of Teams

Are your current project teams consistently meeting your deadlines and producing the expected results? We personally facilitate your project/improvement/problem-solving teams to meet your timetables and expectations. We offer both face-to-face and virtual team facilitation through web-based technologies.

Management and Team Development

Is your management team able to honestly communicate, rapidly move through disagreements, and creatively solve problems together? We customize team development programs to address your unique set of circumstances. We can work with your executive team or your entire management team to assure that you are aligned and working together to manage your organization.

TRAINING

Do you know that your employees are weak in a particular skill set? 
Our training services focus on the transfer of specific skills in the context of one or more of your real business issues. No case studies here; we work on real concerns. Our training services enable you and your teams to effectively apply the right tools and processes to the right issues, long after we are gone. Accurate effective transfer is the operative word here. However, secondarily we in concert with your employees being trained often are able to create a plan to solve your real issues in the time the instruction requires. With that as a framework, here is a listing of our courses/work sessions with brief statements of purpose and links to detailed content:

Team Facilitator Training

Do you tend to have a large number of project/ improvement teams operating simultaneously? If so, then having a small team of in-house facilitators can mean significant improvement in project team quality and productivity.

Interpersonal Dynamics

Would you like to be able to tap the full creative potential of your individual team members? Interpersonal Dynamics helps individuals identify the distinctive way they take in information and use it to communicate. It also builds an appreciation of how others process differently. If these differences are understood, appreciated, and most importantly used consciously, people work better together and produce far better results.

Fundamentals of Effective Communications

Do you believe that the most important ingredient to powerful teams is excellent communication? This is a modular program offering sessions that teach people how to generate partnership, commitment, and action through communication.

Coaching for Managers

Do you realize the critical role of your managers in retaining and developing your employees? Through a combination of classroom and one-to-one coaching, we help your managers and supervisors learn to effectively coach their direct reports.

Coaching

Do you realize that individual coaching is one of the most powerful tools for building capability?

We offer customized individual coaching programs for your senior team members and other selected individuals to strengthen weaknesses and broaden the capabilities of high potential individuals. Coaching is a focused approach to building individual capability and accountability. We create a customized training program to meet the individual needs of the person, including diagnosis, one-to-one conversations, and practices to integrate new skills.
