Continuity Consulting is empowering leaders to transform their organizations. info@continuityconsulting.com

Our work has brought us into relationship with many wellintentioned and first-rate leaders. These leaders possess natural leadership skills, and have served under experienced leaders, so they know what ‘good’ looks like. Most importantly, they have a strong desire to see their organizations become healthy and high-performing.

Today’s organizational leaders face many complex challenges.

info@continuityconsulting.com

Today’s leaders face numerous challenges to building and sustaining a healthy, high-performing organization. For one thing, organizational leaders are extremely busy. We’ve worked with many leaders who spend most of their days in meetings, conference calls, and firefighting critical issues. This leaves little or no time for gaining firsthand knowledge of what is really going on in their organization, let alone for creating the time and space necessary for visionary, ideological or strategic thinking.

Leaders need information in order to make good choices.

The higher up the leadership ladder you go, the less unfiltered information seems to flow your way. We recently worked with one senior executive who has five layers of management beneath her. She is a knowledgeable and intuitive leader. However, the chance of her receiving unfiltered, comprehensive and accurate information through that lengthy chain of command is like playing the party game “Telephone,” in which a message is whispered around a circle, becoming comically distorted by the time it completes the circuit.

While that’s a fun party game, no leader wants to be in that position.

We are providing leaders with solutions proven to accelerate transformation.

It is with these unique challenges in mind that we have created our Organizational Health and Effectiveness Solutions. We know that you are busy, your time is valuable, and that you want results, so we make it easy for you to get started. We’ve broken the process down into three clear options – all based on the solutions that our past clients have found most effective. Through a combination of thorough assessment, advisory services, coaching, and workshops, we empower you and your team to transform your organization and to create sustainable change.
