Organizational Consulting

Organization consulting can take many forms. It may be focused on the entire organization, a particular division, the senior executives, or a departmental team. Much depends on the scope and desired results.

Aligning Vision, Goals and Strategy:
Organizations are most effective when everyone is on the same page. This begins with a compelling vision, clarity and agreement about strategy, and metrics for evaluation progress. The Mandana Group supports the senior team in the creation of the above and helps the senior team engage the rest of the organization to understand and implement the organization direction.

Increasing teamwork:
A strategy is only as good as an organization’s ability to implement it. Mandana Consultants are experts in working with teams, whether at the departmental level or with the executive leadership. Often this work begins with diagnostic interviews or some type of survey. An offsite meeting can be designed to raise and resolve the issues identified. Team retreats may be focused on vision, strategy, resolving conflict, and increasing teamwork.

A variety of approaches are used depending on the issues and the norms of the group. Approaches may include: team-building activities, personality inventories, cultural/value surveys, management development presentations, and large and small group interactive discussions. The Mandana Group avoids one-shot team events that lack follow-through. All activities are designed to meet the needs of the team as it continues to evolve.

Increasing structural effectiveness:
As organizations and their goals evolve, structures and processes need to evolve with them. The Mandana Group works with leaders and their teams to refine and simplify processes and develop structural alignment to better respond to customer needs, market challenges, geographically dispersed teams and issues of scalability.
