Most often, as we begin an assignment for a client, our Associates do extensive data gathering and interviewing of management teams in our client organization. In so doing, they are able to identify issues and problems that may hinder the effectiveness and growth of the organization.

Our approach to Organization Development is that of improving our client's organization in terms of its effectiveness and to better achieving its strategic goals. The process is carefully planned for each client and implemented to benefit the organization, its employees and its stakeholders. Our client organization may be an entire corporation, public agency, non-profit organization, volunteer group, or a smaller part of a larger organization.

The approach is one of partnership and our process supports improvement of the organization or group as a whole. Our clients and Associates work together to gather data, define issues and determine suitable courses of action. Our client's organization is assessed to create an understanding of the current situation and to identify opportunities for change that will more effectively meet their business goals and objectives.

Some examples of Leadership Service activities in which our Associates have been engaged, include:

Increasingly, our clients are engaging our services for advice prior to making major human capital decisions or when they are evaluating the impact of some significant organizational change in contemplating strategic repositioning, succession planning, or merger and/or acquisition, and its related due diligence.
