Consultative Partnering for Leaders™

This two to three day facilitated working session engages and aligns executives to plan and lead major business transformation initiatives, using Consultative Partnering skills, techniques, and principles to drive change through effective leadership.

DESCRIPTION

This facilitated working session is for leaders responsible for driving change – whether they are building a more consultative organization, instilling greater customer focus, building high-performing teams, or improving overall performance. Consultative Partnering for Leaders provides a condensed version of the Consultative Partnering skills to encourage a “top down” modeling of consulting behaviors essential for organizations in transformation. More importantly, it guides the leadership team in developing the vision for change, assessing and developing readiness, identifying and addressing obstacles to change, solidifying their communication approach, and identifying the primary activities that will ensure change takes place and strategic goals are met. Our senior consultants will work with leaders to design a customized agenda that meets their strategic and developmental goals for this event.
