“LSA Global was the first consulting firm (out of 6 who we tried previously) that was able to effectively help our HR Leadership Team to develop a clear strategy and plan that was tied to the business priorities while allowing us to quickly scale and use Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training to collaborate in our fast moving, complex and high demand environment.

More importantly they were able to help us to define the critical few processes and an engagement model that enabled us to stay aligned as an organization. LSA is at the top percentile of my list when it comes to helping leadership teams get aligned and execute.”

Strategic HR Business Partner Skills Training
Most HR professionals find it difficult to effectively influence business unit executives.

Our research shows that nearly two-thirds of business unit leaders view HR functions and HR professionals as primarily transactional and administrative — lacking the strategic capability to help solve critical business challenges or advance key priorities. Strategic HR business partner skills training can change that perception.

That disconnect represents a significant missed opportunity. Today, more than 75% of the average company’s market value is tied to intangible assets such as leadership quality, innovation, culture, employee capability, customer relationships, and organizational agility. These are precisely the areas where effective HR business partners can create measurable business impact when equipped with the right strategic, consulting, and influencing skills.

McLean & Company found that when HR is a strategic partner with the business, organizations are:

  • 1.5x more likely to be highly effective at change management.
  • 1.3x more likely to be highly effective at generating and implementing new ideas.
  • 1.3x more likely to be highly effective at diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Today’s businesses compete as much on the strength and agility of their human capital as on their financial capital. Proactive and strategic HR Functions should drive performance, accelerate business initiatives, and mitigate risk.

LSA helped us with leadership development by designing a solution to match our unique needs and culture.

It was a huge success. I would highly recommend LSA to help take leaders and managers to the next level.

LSA’s action-learning leadership approach has been very beneficial to me, our leadership team, and the entire organization.

The balance of development and results has been excellent.

We have made huge progress, and I was also able to identify 2-3 high potentials while having the extra benefit of people stepping up to carry key strategic projects forward.

The experience was better than anticipated.  I could not be more pleased.

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable.  They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”

David Fiano
Director of Merchandising

The customized leadership program was very practical and achieved our goals. LSA adapted very well to our group and the situation and helped us build trust and awareness of successful leadership styles. We look forward to the next steps.

It was a challenge to find a consultant with an approach to performance improvement that fit our unique performance culture and style. We were pleasantly surprised to discover LSA’s depth of expertise in the fields of motivation, developmental coaching, performance management, and measurement.

LSA seamlessly integrated those components without our folks feeling like the intervention was forced. They understood what we were trying to accomplish, helped us clarify our objectives, and created a solid, refreshing approach that quickly got us moving and engaged at all levels across the organization.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier that we found a true strategy and implementation partner in LSA.

We consider LSA to be our trusted learning and development partner and a valued extension of our team as we rapidly scale.  Thank you LSA!

At the onset of our engagement with LSA, I was skeptical that an outside firm would be able to understand and dissect our organization’s highly complex and technical business challenges.

However, through the leadership team interview and strategy retreat processes that LSA utilized, they provided a fresh, innovative, and practical perspective that created tremendous strategic value and focus for our executive leadership team.

As a result, I would highly recommend LSA Global to any leader struggling with building the strategic alignment and high performance teams necessary to generate sales growth, in a way that fits their unique corporate culture.

LSA has a tremendous ability to distil complex, multilayered challenges into meaningful, impactful, and clear strategies and action plans.

The time we invested as a leadership team to get aligned was well spent in gaining laser focus and identifying ways to prioritize what was meaningful individually and as a team. The facilitation and leadership style was direct, firm, and compassionate.

LSA provided the high level thinking and support for our team to co-create in a rapidly scaling business.
