Working It
What's Your Problem?
Phase 1: Needs Analysis
Achieving clarity on what’s happening and why can be problematic. Without a clear understanding of the root causes, progress and productivity may stall. A comprehensive review and clarification of your business sector, and your leadership and workforce capabilities, sets the foundation for our work together.

Phase 2: Sharpening the focus
Conventional business measures—financials, sales results, trend lines, spreadsheets— don’t do a good job in revealing many workplace issues. This is especially true when problems involve “people complexity.” Phase 2 uses multiple lenses to uncover root causes of the challenges that your organization is facing.
