Sample Projects
Strategic Planning: Facilitation of mid- to upper-level managers of a large regional communications company through a decision-making process on a number of critical business decisions, including the test implementation of a new service for its customers. While the implementation did indeed cost the corporation well over $300 million, it is still considered one of the company’s greatest success stories, with articles touting the success of the implementation appearing in regional and national publications.
Organizational Alignment: Assessment of marketing strategy, culture, and leadership for an aerospace engineering firm. Tasks included: 360-degree leadership feedback and leadership coaching; facilitation of strategy meetings; collaboration to align strategy, leadership and culture; facilitation of team building at all levels; restructuring of leadership team; and creation of systems to support identified necessary changes. The project resulted in doubled revenues, more efficient leadership, and reduced turnover of staff.
Development of a Corporate University: Design and implementation of a corporate university for a national telecommunications company. Tasks included the development of organizational, personal development, and management development tracks that offered more than 30 hours of core curriculum and more than 10 hours of elective courses for managers. By assessing training needs through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and partnering with employees and managers throughout the development process, its implementation helped to align training and development objectives with strategic goals, improve overall organizational effectiveness, and positively impact retention, performance, and morale.

Development of an on-line evaluation tool for employees and management, consulting on performance management policies and best practices, and the development, implementation, and delivery of a training program for approximately 300 national and international employees.
