Business Consulting and Training

Ask yourself: Am I seeing our organization really clearly?  Are we building a flexible organization and cross-functional teams? Can we adapt to a fast paced and changing business climate? Have we adjusted our leadership model and management practices for generational differences in our workforce? 

Focus: RDA will help clarify your organization's needs. We ask important questions, stimulate big picture thinking and peripheral vision. What is your strategic vision, current business context, and desired outcome? Do you fully understand your market and competition? Do you excel at coaching and mentoring- actively develop and retain your talent?

The starting gate for a business consultation is agreement on the assignment: what are your expectations, short and long term goals? Given that, we then construct a picture of the organization…listening to the stories, interviewing key stakeholders, and framing organizational and systems issues. Our collaborative process creates the trust and accountability to achieve a working partnership and buy-in.

We then convert the picture to high definition, targeting key strategic issues and co-creating an action plan for staging the work. We help clients achieve their goals through a combination of consulting, executive coaching and management training. The areas of focus may include organizational design, operations, building infrastructure, managing growth or change. We facilitate building high performance teams, communication strategies and coaching and mentoring programs. Collaboratively we design and implement action plans for business issues specific to each client organization including:

Throughout the consulting engagement, we re-evaluate and incorporate feedback to adjust, fine tune, or re-direct our efforts to ensure a positive outcome. Flexibility and responsiveness are key characteristics of our work.

Moving forward, we shift our focus to developing strategies for sustaining growth and consolidating gains. Collaboratively, we develop the leadership, teams, individual talent and organizational procedures that create lasting change.
