Here are three quick stories about projects we’ve tackled:
- The new owners of a 50-year-old manufacturing business needed to radically revamp the operation and increase sales without alienating the long-term employees. We helped them get there, doubling sales in one year.
- A healthcare organization was looking at management assignments and career paths, and got our help opening up lines of communication and strengthening the team with the talent-deployment exercise as a catalyst. (In plain English, we talked to a bunch of people, digested what we heard, gave it back to the leadership team in a set of action items and ‘please stop doing this’ items and resolved five or six long-simmering conflicts. The organization is faster and more profitable now than it was when we arrived.)
- We re-branded a technology firm’s recruiting message to bring it into line with its Facebook-using, work-and-life-balance-attuned talent population.
