organizational development through

management consulting

Organizational performance is built on the foundation of people performance. And while so much of our focus is on measuring and solving for engagement, satisfaction, and performance of the people inside your organization, there are numerous outside factors that also impact organizational excellence.

We have drawn on decades of management consulting expertise and experience to develop a number of frameworks and models that we consult on, to help organizations identify where they are, where they need to be, and chart a course to get there.

Many of these frameworks are taught in our academy, but we have found that the best organizational outcomes happen when we can engage an organization directly and make this an interactive and iterative process.

Sometimes a little outside perspective is just what an organization needs to escape the inertia it’s experiencing… which is where an organization tends to get the results they always get, because they do the things they always do. And that’s because the perspective they have and the ideas and beliefs they harbor are always the same.

the 5-voices of

organizational achievement

One of the many models we consult on is the 5-Voices of Organizational Achievement.

In order for an organization to be successful, it must learn to have empathy for each of these voices. It must learn what it takes to satisfy these voices, engage these voices, and ultimate impact the performance of these groups.

We work hand-in-hand within an organization to bring these voices out of the silos they so often are in, and create visibility of these voices across the organization. 

When these voices are brought into harmony, that’s when you are able to experience phenomenal success, both inside the organization and in the market the organization serves.

and so much more

We do deep-dive consulting on product strategy, corporate strategy, people strategy, customer engagement, employee engagement, culture, leadership, and so much more.

Below are just a handful of frameworks that we teach in the academy, do leadership development and training on. Each has a paired consulting capability for maximum impact.
