Our Approach

BEGIN WITH AN EXECUTIVE TEAM TRANSITION OFFSITE

One of the best ways to jump-start an organization is to hold an executive team offsite. Before this one- or two-day event, we conduct a structured and multi-faceted data collection process. The comprehensive analysis and resulting reports typically guide the consultant and focus the team’s energy.

Prior to the engagement, we take the time to understand the top leader’s challenges and her or his critically important outcomes before the Leader introduces us to the executive team. We explain and answer questions about the way we use our pre-offsite proprietary assessment as well as the way that it is informs the leadership transition offsite. Also, as part of the process, we interview each member of the executive team. This data is important for business context and understanding how the team operates.
