“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.

We greatly value our relationship with LSA Global.

They focused on understanding our unique culture and helping us to move our strategic priorities forward.

LSA continues to deliver top quality executive coaching, consulting, and leadership development solutions that are highly customized for our unique situation.

I highly recommend LSA Global to anyone looking to greatly improve their leadership, management, and project capabilities.

LSA Global has been a great partner in helping us move toward being “the leading developer of talent in the service performance management industry.”

I have engaged LSA to help develop best-in-class programs in the areas of: Executive On-boarding, Manager Training, Sales Training and Coaching, Employee Engagement, and Instructional Design.

They have consistently met or exceeded my (very) high expectations and are always responsive to my needs to increase performance, engagement, customer satisfaction, and sales growth.

At a time of change in our marketplace, LSA Global did an exceptional job helping our executive team create strategic clarity by helping us to define, clarify, and prioritize our corporate vision, mission, values, differentiation, target clients, strategic priorities, success metrics and key roles.

They beautifully navigated a very difficult and fuzzy situation, respectfully cleared out all of the cultural elephants, and shared impactful insights and leadership development theories along the way. They have transformed our business.

Having tripled in size and recently merged, LSA helped our executive team to increase our level of strategic alignment, to solidify our new direction, and to push our agency forward.

As we look to rapidly scale, the clear, actionable, and critical few strategic moves combined with how we differentiate ourselves to our top accounts and target clients has really set us on a great path to success.

This is exactly what we needed to get to the next level. Thank you LSA!

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.

LSA consistently delivers for me and my team.  Recently they demonstrated the criticality for executives to look beyond current ethics topics and focus on applying fundamental values in everything they do to demonstrate true leadership. They successfully delivered in two hours what most leadership development facilitators would spend an entire day trying to communicate.

LSA worked with our Executive Leadership Team to help create strategic clarity and alignment as we look to increase our growth rate and unlock innovation.  They masterfully handled very complex, challenging, and high stakes leaders, decisions, and cultural nuances to help us identify what matters most and move toward one unified direction.

Their practical, straightforward, and client-centric approach to strategy was refreshing.  I highly recommend them to any executive team looking to get aligned to create even higher performance.  They are lights out awesome!
