Organizational Development and Team Building

Our approach to organizational development involves a phased effort that is jointly planned with the client's staff to meet their organization's unique needs. These efforts are often organization wide and driven from the top. Our goal is to increase organizational effectiveness through designed interventions in planning and decision-making processes.

To provide senior staff with specific recommendations, we conduct a short-term, five-phase evaluation aimed at identifying the most critical issues facing the organization.

Our development process generates specific data about work climate issues, organizational strengths and weaknesses, while pinpointing specific opportunities for improvement. This review and decision-making process leads the top management team through a systemic evaluation of the organization. The result of this process is a strengthened executive team ready to tackle the most pivotal issues of the organization. We act as facilitators and team members with this group to guide them and help them clarify the issues.

A natural outcome of this process is a strengthened sense of teamwork without using methods that intimidate individual members. Most of our group process work is task driven, which allows the group to focus on the issues currently facing them. Solving real organizational problems releases tremendous energy and creativity, while giving the staff an increased sense of control over their environment.
