Some of our Services      

First and Foremost: Each organiSation is different and deserves an individualized assessment of needs and capabilities -- a diagnosis and prognosis before prescription and treatment, so to speak.  It is during this initial phase of our relationship that we will mutually decide if a consulting relationship is appropriate.
 

Team/Leadership Facilitation Skills Development: An interactive workshop is custom designed for all team leaders, managers, supervisors, and team members in order to create a synergistic outcome from all meetings and collaborative efforts.  The single biggest failure in organisations is to provide teams with a common and thorough knowledge of collaborative problem-solving process and the skills to use it effectively.... this workshop does both and ensures that not only is everyone skilled at playing his or her own instrument but also that everyone is on the same page of music, playing the same notes at the same time. 

Organisational Renewal: Working from the Board level down, we work together to develop and implement an improved concept of both structure and strategy, based on a Natural Change Organisation (tm) concept with its roots in Chaos Theory and Natural Evolution.  A Natural Change Organisation is one that is flexible and continuosly evolving to meet the challenges of continous global change -- there is no organisation, regardless of size, that is not affected by the pressures of international, national and local economic change and competition.

Management Development Counseling:  One-on-one assistance with self-examination of management philosophy, management style, communications effectiveness and interpersonal skills development.  Before you can effectively manage others, it is essential that you understand and manage yourself both effectively and efficiently (doing right things & doing things right).

Teambuilding / Conflict Resolution:
Competition has been touted as the source of greatness in the free market world.  However, when it becomes an internal win/lose proposition, everyone becomes a loser.  This service involves individual and group interviewing, surveys, examination of reward systems and often mixed group interventions to identify sources of PERCEIVED incompatibilities and mutually exclusive options for actions.  Often this involves examination of the Organizational Culture and a shift in values and beliefs that will facilitate acceptance of continual change and organizational evolution without fear and resistance.  People fear and resist that which they don't understand or which challenges their "comfort zone."

Free "food for thought" --

Your reaction to the following will tell you whether or not you and your organisation are good candidates for benefiting from our services:
 
 The "Butterfly Effect" is a metaphor emanating from Chaos Theory that explains how larger patterns of behavior -- from organisations to oceans to galaxies -- are the sum total of individual behaviors; that the weather in North America is affected by the flapping of a butterfly's wings in South America is the equivalent of Adam Smith’s "unseen moving hand" that represents the sum total of independent, uncoordinated individual economic entities enacting the resulting economy of the country or world.  Every person in every organisation, and every organisation in the world has a responsibility to recognize that, to the extent that actions on their parts are guided by the same values and beliefs, the collective impact  tends to be magnified on the system as a whole.  And what is that "system"?  Nothing less than the health of the Planet Earth itself.  And what has the collective impact been effective in accomplishing so far? -- Continued global warming, depletion of irreplaceable natural resources, a widening of the gap between "haves and have-nots", a polluting of the environment that threatens thousands of species with extinction with every passing day (and sooner or later the human species as well), a deterioration in confidence in all social structures and organizations in general from government to private industry, and ….. no forecast for improvement in any of these areas.   What are the common values that have led to these collective impacts?..... Three such values pervade the capitalist, free market management model which has become the role model for the world, and these three values must be confronted and shifted before Human Beings top the endangered species list -- they are:       

              An Ends Justifies the Means rationale.
              Placing of Self before Community.
              Focus on the short term over long term.

 Those organisations that will be sustainable in the 21st century will do so only by incorporating the reverse of these values into their visions, missions and cultures.  If you would like to become one of those organisations, please contact us as we would like to help.
