Consulting & Strategy
Education & Training
Education plays a critical role in larger strategic initiatives by providing a common understanding of goals, objectives, and strategies.
Priming
Priming tools provide employees with tools to refresh and re-set skills on a just-in-time basis, reinforcing changes in behaviors over time.
Systems & Structures
We review, develop, and enhance clients’ recruiting practices, people management efforts, succession management decisions, and mentoring programs.
Accountability & Sustainability
What gets measured gets done. Carefully constructed metrics provide the means to track an organization’s performance over time and are essential to any serious change effort.
Sustainable Change
We believe sustainable, long-term change occurs at an organization’s cultural level, as opposed to focusing only on individual growth. We actively study systems theory and organizational culture change to identify leverage points in organizational flow and the relationship between those points. This allows us to holistically understand how to transform an organization’s culture into one that is truly inclusive and culturally competent.
