Assessment is the first step in our understanding of your organization’s needs. Our process begins using surveys and one-on-one interviews across the organization.

During the immersion process, we communicate and observe your organization at all levels and all interactions to discover trends, opportunities, and challenges.

The technical challenges organizations need to solve today are too complex for one individual to handle.

We provide individual training to team leaders and members to enable your leadership management to build teams that work well together.

We facilitate communication, establish rapport, clarify objectives, role clarity and interdependency of roles and responsibilities for both leaders and team members across the organization. We help evaluate and develop processes for effective team dynamics.

Leadership and management must go hand in hand, although they are not the same, they are linked and complementary. In a biotech organization, value comes from the “knowledgeable people”, and they look to their management, not just to assign them a task, but to define for them a purpose. Managers must not just maximize efficiency, but to lead them by nurturing their skills, developing talent, and inspiring results.

Through our immersion process, we help develop leaders through a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, their values and goals.

We help leaders apply knowledge through planning, goal setting, effective communication, and feedback in order to inspire and produce results through their teams. We help expand their strategic planning and their leadership ability across the organization.

If we want to break the cycle, and start getting consistently excellent results we have to start by creating practices and norms that allow for consistency and excellence. We need to reinforce a solid foundation by using corporate philosophy, core values and a change process to build an effective culture. Organizations need a set of norms and values that will guide the behavior of your organization. Culture is the personality of your organization; it is what your people do when no one is looking.

We work with executives and employees to define the core values that are then implemented and embraced company-wide by all.

We will see the organization through inevitable resistance to change and adaptation period by providing focus, tools, support, and encouragement to implement the cultural changes.

We help department leads create alignment with the rest of the organization. The leader’s role continues to be essential by emphasizing the importance of change and the use of appropriate reward systems to help solidify changes that have been implemented.

Traditionally, managers learn how to manage on the job, mostly by trial and error. Due to the fast pace in biotech, the managers are often overworked because they haven’t learned to delegate effectively. As a result, many struggle with forming productive relationships, communicating, and delegating responsibility.

Coaching is provided for feedback and practice and is focused on specific situations and tasks. During the immersion process, we use direct coaching or work with managers using real-time challenges.

Working with your employees, we help them understand how to improve their performance, either by enhancing current skills or by acquiring new ones.

Mentoring is a strategic initiative that pairs less seasoned managers and employees with those who can provide not only the practical, experiential wisdom they have, but also a supportive environment whereby the less seasoned manager or employees can share the real issues impacting success. Mentoring is aimed to create a more effective contribution to the company’s overall goals. Mentors help develop the individual not only for the current job, but also for the future.

We utilize our extensive experience in the biotech field encompassing a wide range of positions for over 30 years to help with on going career and personal development.

We will help employees assess his or her performance, to obtain confidential feedback in individual strengths and weaknesses, and learn new skills and behaviors

Long-term employee development is a combination of improving daily performance and career planning. The performance management process should help employees set personal developmental goals that will increase their ability to contribute to the success of the organization.

We help leaders and managers uncover the employee’s capabilities and development areas.

We develop a plan in collaboration with the employee, on how they can use their talents and interests both to achieve their own goals and to serve the organization’s needs.

Developing a strategic plan to align with existing or new corporate initiative is critical to success of any organization. We facilitate planning meetings to help the team to identify its strengths and weaknesses, clarify the objectives and create action plans.

We help the teams develop processes to communicate the action plans to management and obtain approval.

We design meetings to communicate the final plan to employees and to roll out the new strategic plan.
