Consulting Services
I help you unlock and activate your organization's full potential through an integrated approach that involves deep listening, data mining, stakeholder outreach, and strategic planning.
What's Involved?
Why Invest?
Each consulting context is unique and is therefore structured around meeting the precise needs of your organization. Some of the most common forms it can take include:
Organizational Development & Strategic Planning
-
visioning
-
long-term planning
-
capacity building (human resources & structural supports)
-
organizational culture
Other Areas
-
talent retention
-
team engagement & buy-in
-
succession planning
-
wellness & sustainability
-
resiliency / responding to challenges & change
Attempting to address structural, cultural or other 'big picture' topics while also running day-to-day operations can be a constant battle. Seeing your high-level context clearly on your own can also be a big challenge. Carving out time for an outside perspective can help focus the energy and help you benefit from a new point of view. When things click, consulting will actually save you money, energy and stress while catalyzing growth and learning in a way that would be much slower. - or impossible - on your own.
Tools & Frameworks
While each consulting process is unique - crafted through deep listening and intentional planning with the client - below are some examples of tools and frameworks that I draw on to inform my consulting work:
The 5th Discipline
Does the idea of being part of a 'learning organization' resonate with you? This framework combines the individual orientations of personal mastery and examining mental models with the collective orientations of team learning and shared vision. Together, these inform a systems-thinking approach that will increase individual job satisfaction and buy-in, while increasing effectiveness collectively.
Presencing/Theory U
What are the 3 biggest challenges we face in our modern context? Disconnection from our environment, disconnection from each other, and disconnection from ourselves. And the added upside of addressing these splits? 'Leading from the future as it emerges'. If you put people and the planet at the centre of what you do, then this approach will both feed you and help you innovate.
Integral Theory
The 21st century has been marked by the challenges and remarkable possibilities that the growing complexity of our world provides. Integral Theory provides a way to map this complexity in a way that empowers us to fully realize the potential that this time in history is creating.
