SVP Human Resources | Fortune 1000 Technology Company

This two to three day facilitated working session engages and aligns executives to plan and lead major business transformation initiatives, using Consultative Partnering skills, techniques, and principles to drive change through effective leadership.

It is for leaders responsible for driving change — whether they are building a more consultative organization, instilling greater customer focus, building high-performing teams, or driving performance improvement.

It provides a condensed version of the Consultative Partnering™ skills training to encourage a “top down” modeling of consulting behavior essential for organizations in transformation.

It guides the leadership team in developing the vision for change, assessing and developing readiness, identifying and addressing obstacles to change, solidifying their communication approach, and identifying the primary activities that ensure organizational development takes place and strategic goals are met.
