The Solutions Lab

We may need to solve problems not by removing the cause, but by designing the way forward even if the cause remains in place.

Is this what you really need?

It's a question that we often catch ourselves asking our clients. Some providers may sell you a program, an assessment or whatever is the latest idea of the day.  Our reputation is only as good as the results we generate. 

From a 1/2 day guided questioning process to a multi-day process where we engage your cross-functional leaders in dialog, our discovery process ensures whatever we recommend is on target to achieve your goals -- even if that means we help you evaluate other resources and providers. 

Solutions Snapshot

Merger Integration
A merger surfaces major conflict between two of the organizations top executives and most critical players to take the organization into the new business landscape. Our "executive intensive" quickly helped the executives to understand their unique style differences, gain perpective on how the conflict was a block to their success, and allowed the executives to realign in step to the organization's goals.  Both executives report new perspective on their leadership focus, and the CEO recognized immediate impact on the executive team.
Sales Improvement
A pharmaceutical company  identifies two similar sales teams in size and revenue.  In a tough economic climate, one group completes Emotional Intelligence Training and Coaching.  The control group continues business as usual.  Within six months, the pilot team shows an 18% increase in sales while the control group sees a 4% decline in revenue. Does improved EI boost sales? In a relationship economy, what do you think?
Technical Teams
An Atlanta-based financial services organization uses coaching for the organization's CIO and his team.  A multi-tiered coaching approach helps the CIO establish a clear people vision, a performance management process, an award winning leadership development program, and an internal coaching capability.  The CIO retains high potential employees who report the focus on people and building a coching culture as their top reasons for staying with the organization. Executives recognize the technolgy team for its advancements in partnering with the business.
