Organizational Assessment

Changing an organization's culture demands skillful inquiry into the relationship of work systems to "people systems," including coaching, performance management, organizational design, role clarity, communications, appreciation for diversity, and many other aspects of human resource practices. My work begins with developing data through interviews, focus groups, and survey ratings to help clarify the leverage points for productive change. Whether my assignment is to work with a single team or a whole organization, my approach is serve as an organizational mirror for the facts, perceptions, feelings -- and wisdom -- of people, and to facilitate leadership understanding and action. Using both standard and self-created organization development tools, I work with members throughout the workplace community to release their leadership potentials and develop the internal and external strategies most essential to market-place success.
