Team Development

The magic that can happen when talented individuals tackle an issue collectively is undeniable. But all too often, teams don’t work, and the reasons for this are the stuff of Shakespearian dramas. Consider lack of clarity about why the team exists in the first place, little or no leadership, jealousy, conflicts that get ugly and personal, and a culture that’s not conducive to learning, to name but a few. 

Our work focuses on the building blocks that teams need to feel galvanized as a group and driven to achieve specific goals. These include:

• Sense of purpose
• Trust building
• Clarification of goals and roles
• Communication and decision-making
• Plan implementation
• Renewal

Organization Development

During times of significant organizational transitions, clients often need to attend to large-scale change initiatives. Whatever the issues, we talk with owners, boards, and management to identify desirable outcomes and competencies required for growth. 

Our work includes:

• Clarifying functional roles between groups;
• Encouraging systems thinking and scenario planning; 
• Designing and implementing new structures and processes;
• Refining owner’s goals and agendas;
• Analyzing board effectiveness;
• Filling the succession pipeline with high-potential people. 

All plans are tied to business strategies and factors for success.
