Consultative Partnering for Leaders to Excel

“The Consultative Partnering for Leaders workshop was crucial in helping our HR business partners work more strategically with their internal clients and stakeholders.

The skills and techniques greatly improved their ability to gain understand the situation, credibility, sell recommendations, and apply a strategic consulting process to get better results.”
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.

Our senior consultants work with leaders to design customized leadership training and an agenda that meets their specific strategic and developmental goals.

We reviewed the top Leadership Development offerings and selected LSA’s 12-month Leadership Program based upon the value and systemic approach.

The feedback on the program, approach, and results was phenomenal. While other programs may be better known, the other options were more theoretical and did not compare in terms of LSA’s practicality, quality, and results.

We could not be happier.
