Strategic Planning

• Whether you are a corporate executive or a small business owner, the ability to plan strategically and follow-through on those plans in a systematic way is the difference between successful companies and those companies that meander along. Our strategic planning process focuses your entire company on your key objectives, and allows everyone at every level to track progress, make adjustments as needed and still be operating from the same set of assumptions. Our process builds in accountability and gives you a visual reference point to track progress and achievements.

Change Management and Organization Effectiveness

• The ability of business leaders to manage change is one of the top skills required of leaders today. And if you’re like many businesses today, you’re inundated with changes that don’t always have a clear connection to each other. In fact, some of them may even be competing with each other. We’ll help you define the roles needed to successfully implement change, identify the patterns you are likely to encounter in any change effort, and think through the potential “unintended consequences” of change efforts on other parts of the system. And while we’re helping you manage change in your organization, we’ll also help you navigate the changes you’ll be going through by partnering with you through the process.

Team Building

• We take team building to the next level to build on your team’s understanding of themselves and each other. Giving them tools and processes to keep the workshop learnings alive back in the office. As qualified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator consultants, we’ll work with your teams to uncover the “undiscussables” that secretly undermine team performance, expand perspectives and create new ways of working with each other. If you’ve ever done the DISC or MBTI or other assessment and wondered how on earth it can be useful outside of being a “fun” diversion from daily work – you haven’t had the full experience of a true team building process.

Executives & Teams

• The marketplace, our bosses, our own expectations of ourselves constantly challenge us to reach higher and higher levels of performance. Such efforts call for resources that are hard to find in our organizations. Leaders today are in more need than ever of having an objective sounding board to safely bounce their ideas off of, someone who can provide new perspectives, point out patterns that may not be serving them well anymore – and do it all with compassion and straight talk. We call it “the compassionate truth” that others may not be willing to share with us.

• Our goal is to help you measurably improve the results you’re getting, breaking old patterns that inhibit growth and increasing your own capability to achieve the results you desire.

Professionals in career or life transition

• When you’ve hit a plateau and start wondering, “Is that all there is?” you’re ready for a change. But making that change may be something you think you can’t afford or may be afraid to try alone. Maybe you know the end result, maybe you know you just want “something else.”

• We help you navigate the journey and come up with a plan to get you there. Along the way, we support you, challenge you, guide you, remind you, and keep you on track. We promise never to nag you, chide you or make you feel guilty. We’re betting you’re pretty capable of doing that yourself, yes?

» CUSTOMIZED TRAINING

• We offer a full range of “soft skills” training programs designed to meet your company’s unique needs. We’ll conduct the needs assessment, design the program and deliver it, in collaboration with you or your training staff. Typical programs include:

• Leadership Development
• Meeting Effectiveness
• Time Management
• Communications and Conflict Management
• Project Management (in association with IPS Associates)
• Process Improvement
