Executive Coaching
The best organizational leaders, like the best athletes, seek and use the advice of coaches who can help
them build on their strengths and minimize or eliminate their weaknesses. We have coached hundreds of
executives and managers, from CEO's of major companies to heads of small departments, on ways to
maximize their effectiveness. The tools and processes we use include:
- Personal assessment and goal-setting
- One-on-one feedback
- 360 degree evaluations
- Meyers Briggs Type Indicator
- Role playing
Leadership Team Development
The effectiveness of your leadership teams is a primary determinant of your organization's success. If they
cannot work well together, they will not be able to provide the cohesive, consistent direction required to create
and sustain competitive advantage. We have worked with hundreds of leadership teams, from the boardroom
to the shop floor, to assess and improve their level of team performance. The tools and processes we use
include:
- Team building retreats
- One-on-one feedback
- 360 degree evaluations
- Dialogue
- Meyers Briggs Type Indicator
- Outdoor adventures
- Strategic visioning
- Skill development workshops (e.g., Leading Change, Collaborative Teams: Skills for Leaders,
Collaborative Change: Improving Organizational Performance)
- Project planning for major organizational transitions
Change Management
Information systems redesign, business process engineering, mergers, acquisitions...these and other
major organizational changes are fraught with risk. In fact, research tells us that up to 80% of all
major
change efforts fail to achieve the goals set for them, not because the technical solution is wrong, but
because inadequate attention was paid to the human and organizational aspects of change. We have the
processes, tools, and expertise to help you ensure more successful implementation of your change
initiatives. We will work with you to make sure that key stakeholders inside and outside your organization feel
that they are agents of change, not victims of change. We will also work with you to ensure that all aspects of
your organization (e.g., structure, skills, human resources systems) are aligned with the changes you plan to
make. The tools and processes we use include:
- Collaborative Change: Improving Organizational Performance
- Project planning for major organizational transitions
- Large group conferences
- Electronic balloting
Organization Diagnosis
When your organization is not achieving the desired level of performance, how do you know what needs to be
changed...what are the root causes of the problems, not just the symptoms? We have the expertise to help
you assess all aspects of your organization (i.e., core goals, business processes, systems, structure,
strategy, culture, skills) so you can understand what is working and what is not working, then take action. The
tools and processes we use include:
- Organizational surveys
- Benchmarking
- Best practices research
- Individual and group interviews
- Large group conferences
- Appreciative inquiry
Organization Redesign
What can you do when you feel the need for radical improvement in your organization's overall performance in
a short period of time? Working with us, you will have the benefit of a proven methodology, expert guidance,
and all the tools you need to establish a strong foundation for change, create a compelling vision, assess the
strengths and weaknesses of all aspects of your organization, design the changes needed, plan the
implementation of change, and make it happen. The tools and processes we use include:
- Collaborative Organization Design - Workbook
- Collaborative Organization Design - Leaders' Guide
- Strategic visioning
- Organization diagnosis
- Business process redesign
