is changing the way organizations leverage outside expertise. We enable our clients to address complex problems and tap fleeting opportunities, like never before.
Consultants
We invite experts from various business domains to offer fresh insights, hands-on expertise and coaching to our clients.
All engagements are at the Consultant's discretion.
• Drive the importance of ‘team’ and the potential value that adds to the organization and to the individual member
• Create a collaborative vision and set of values for the emerging system and develop a process that will set guidelines for how the new “we” will work together in areas such as making decisions and resolving conflict
• Identify the individual strengths, experience & contributions that each individual brings to this endeavor … an opportunity to ‘sell’ your team on you being the right person in the right job
• Identify perceived or real obstacles that may exist and identify constructive and positive ways to deal with them in moving toward the vision and related goals.
• Self-Analysis – what each leader knows they need and intend to stop doing, start doing and continue doing to insure their successful contribution to the team and the company …with input from those who know you best.
Engagement overview
The process followed when engaged by an organization involves the following steps:
1. Meet with key management of a company, division or department to gain the full understanding of the goals of the forthcoming work
2. Based on a thorough understanding, convert that into clear objectives for the group work to be done
3. Establish an atmosphere in which all voices are called forth and heard for the contributions that need to be expressed and considered
4. Design a very interactive agenda that consists of activities intended to further the understanding of the goals and result in the achievement of them
5. Design a follow-up plan that insure that this effort is just the beginning of sustainable change and not a flavor of the month.
