Change management photo: improve, data, plan, team, engage, execute, measure successStrategic Organizational Change

If your organization finds itself on a burning platform, or you can foresee the inevitability of making a change, we can help you learn to make the change happen yourself. Rather than doing the change to your organization, or with you, we equip your organization to make the change and develop the skills inside your organization to integrate the change into your core business processes and culture going forward.

Coaching

Coaching increases the chances of success in the workplace for individuals. The insights provided and the skills that coaching develops also improve performance in your organization because the coaching client becomes a better team member, leader, and customer relationship manager. 

 

Assessment

Kirkpatrick & Associates has access to and experience with many of the published assessments that help identify strengths and targets for improved performance. Feedback from several other people in the workplace represents the gold standard for seeing ourselves as other see us. Armed with that invaluable information, we help our clients plan and implement behavioral change that matters.

 

Team Building

Solutions photoWhen a team formed in the workplace to execute responsibilities falls short of expectations, productivity, profitability, and customer loyalty, all suffer. Sometimes the team dysfunction gets built into the team composition inadvertently when it is formed. Other root causes include poor leadership, internal conflicts, unclear charters, and inadequate competencies to get the job done. At Kirkpatrick & Associates we can both diagnose the causes of dysfunctional teams, and get the group back on track. We have experience with these challenges from the frontline team to the CEO-team level.

 

We have a proven track record throughout the life cycle of teams, from initial formation to final transformation. Our strongest results have come from working with teams that have fallen into conflict, dysfunction, and even an alarming failure to perform. 

 

Leadership Development

Preparing your organization's future leaders is an investment of time and other resources that will pay high dividends. We believe that developing leaders is both a process pursued over time through a coordinated use of several tools:  education, training, coaching, mentoring, cross-functional experience and periodic feedback. Leadership development works best when connected to other talent management initiatives, such as selection, high-potential identification, succession planning and performance management. We have experience and capabilities in planning, designing, creating, and implementing all of these initiatives.

 

Organizational Culture

The culture of your organization is the way you do things in order to succeed. Culture is explicitly visible in traditions, ceremonies and periodic meetings. More subtle elements of culture include communications channels, decision-making processes, key business metrics and team operating norms. We can assess how your culture is both a force for accomplishing organizational goals or a barrier to success.

 

Culture change is difficult, but sometimes unavoidable.
