Consultative Partnering for Leaders™
This 2-3 day facilitated working session 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 the consulting behavior essential for organizations in transformation.

More importantly, 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 will 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 strategic and developmental goals.
