Organizational Structures & Design

Our associates have significant organization design experience, ranging from highly complex multi-business unit restructurings involving cross functional and labour/management teams, to departmental work process re-engineering initiatives.

 

We are skilled at clearly defining issues and identifying problem areas as well as developing processes for team-based approaches to organizational re-structuring.

 

Our consultants have direct experience as leaders restructuring their own operations and as consultants to senior management on organization re-design, including implementation, change management, and communication plans.

Teambuilding and Facilitation

We understand the principles and requirements for team based project success.  Our associates are professionally trained team builders and facilitators with many different methods and techniques to draw from in order to resolve participative and team commitment issues.  With many restructuring, improvement, and problem solving situations to our credit, we can help you sort out the multitude of problems into clear, concise issues and attack them in an organized and effective way.

Custom Workshops

Whether you are trying to get your management team on the same wavelength, develop new business strategies, fix a problem with your workgroup, or overcome a roadblock on your project, a custom workshop can provide a fast and effective solution.

 

Our experienced, professionally trained facilitators will work with you to determine your objectives and develop a custom workshop solution.  Benefits of getting your people together for a workshop include: increased commitment, better ideas, faster implementation, and best of all—fast results. 

 

We have developed successful, custom workshops for our clients across many industries on subjects including:

 

· Strategic Planning

· Problem Solving

· Process Improvements

· Workgroup Relationships

· Project Kick-Offs

· Project Recovery / Revitalization

 

Anytime you need your people to pull hard and fast in the same direction is the right time to put together a custom workshop to get them going. 

 

From a few hours to a few days, from facilitating your content to providing a complete information and process solution, our workshops are developed to deliver exactly what you need, not some standard canned package.

Management & Executive Coaching

In the absence of a committed coach or mentor, the best an individual can do is learn by example. Unfortunately for many, the lessons modeled are not the most potent or practical. When these employees subsequently become managers and executives they may lack skills needed to reach their potential. Filling in the gaps may require the expertise of an external coach.

 

Our consultants possess a wide range of management and executive skills and the ability to impart these skills to individuals or groups. We work one-on-one to assess strengths and weaknesses and then develop a coaching program targeted to the individual's needs. In both private sessions and group workshops, we teach personal effectiveness skills such as creative thinking and how to have more productive interactions with others. We also offer coaching in supervisory and managerial skills, such as stress management, negotiation, and making presentations.

 

Coaching is a personal matter that requires patience and commitment by all parties. In the end, the results are often as satisfying and fruitful for the coach as for the person receiving the guidance.
