Maximizing Organizational Performance

Performance Needs Analysis - A process to examine a client’s problem or opportunity(s) and identify the key people-related elements that will impact the company’s ability to achieve optimal results.

Organizational or Work Group Culture Assessment - A method for aligning people systems and processes with strategy. A key to achieving successful business results is to make sure that the company’s systems, processes and people are in line with the overall business strategy. History, values, and assumptions that comprise organizational culture all impact these behaviors and practices.

We provide a method for appraising the degree to which the behaviors and practices of the people within the organization line up with the company’s overall strategy. We identify those elements that support business strategy and those that detract from it. We design targeted approaches to improve alignment of the organizational behaviors and practices with the business strategy and results.

Organizational Culture Integration - Methods for bringing two or more cultures or subcultures together for increased understanding, cohesion and productivity. These services are critical during mergers and acquisitions when companies with different histories and values must come together quickly to achieve the synergies for success as one company. In the similar way, the services are useful when strong subcultures exist within an organization where productivity depends on cross-functional and/or cross-group understanding and collaboration.

Change Management - A broad range of services to assist clients with organizational change. We offer assistance for leaders and managers, internal consultants and project teams who are responsible for overseeing broad organizational changes such as restructuring, merging or partnering with other companies in new ways, designing and implementing new technologies and or business processes.

Our process assesses the impact of the changes on groups and individuals within the organization, identifies stakeholders and their likely concerns, and develops strategies for engaging the stakeholders. We work with our clients to devise communication and training strategies, looking for and addressing possible sources of resistance. One of the most critical elements of our services involves working with leaders to help them define and implement their roles in the change process.

Optimizing Organizational Structure - A method for facilitating decisions for optimizing organizational structure to support strategy and desired results.
