Diverse skills, experience and perspectives of individuals must be in alignment with and focused on the team’s goals. But barriers to effectiveness occur in even the best of teams - breakdowns in communication, stalled decision making, and unresolved differences of opinion. Our approach to team assessment and improvement identifies and overcomes these barriers to improve team collaboration, allowing the team to focus its energies and talents on the critical objectives. Decision-making groups, including executive leadership, boards, and strategic planners, constitute the core driving force of any organization. Ideally, individuals in the group contribute their expertise and opinion, the group accepts and considers input, and makes the optimal decision in accordance with the group’s charter and the goals of the organization. Symptoms of ineffective decision-making include stalling or breakdown in communications, ‘yes men’ mentality, or power struggles. We work with these highly influential groups to foster the delicate balance between a war of opinion and resigned complacency, and between personal and organizational goals to optimize contributions to the organization. Today’s knowledge workers generally work in team project mode. Organizations often still operate in manufacturing-style hierarchical mode with expectations that limit the agility required in strategic projects, and curtail the creativity, commitment and engagement of the knowledge worker. Our model of Strategic Project Management integrates the planning and reporting aspects of standard project management with the agility and responsiveness of strategic planning, along with the motivational and engagement principles designed to optimize the contributions of the knowledge worker. As a style of management, coaching is the single most effective method of improving human capital performance. Today’s workforce is best motivated by a mentoring and goal-based approach. In fact, they expect it. Today’s successful leaders consider it their go-to style. Today’s leading organizations consider it the gold-standard of management styles. We are adept at designing mentoring and coaching programs and training managers to coach for effectiveness. Client Relationship Management Client loyalty is driven by the relationship. Organizations today need to know what the client is thinking, understand the client’s needs, and communicate in a way that makes sense to the client and gains trust and respect. Firms that understand this will succeed. We work with organizations to learn how better to manage the relationships with clients by earning trust through the intangible human interactions. |
