Sustainable Advancement

Working With Organizations & Companies

While focusing on specific parts of the organization for increased learning and productivity is very valuable, assessing & impacting how the entire organization learns and remains competitively productive is even more important. Addressing a small part of your company doesn’t always positively impact the larger part. That is why TWG’s organizational development expertise can provide powerful strategies for making critical and sustainable differences for your collective future.

“What would it take for us collectively to work smarter today than we did yesterday?”

  • Human Resources Infrastructure

Conducting an audit of the current Human Resources processes, providing a candid assessment & a plan for finding the balance of having sufficient HR structure but not too much. Targeted examples could be Performance Management, 360 Feedback, work-from-home policies, harassment policies, discipline policies, etc.

  • Culture Surveys & Focus Groups

Extensive experience in gathering employee input cross-functionally, cross-location and cross-culturally, so that data is used in key management decisions.

  • Organizational Design

How a company is organized determines how effective it is or is not. Using a foundational set of System Thinking tools, TWG helps you diagnose with data your current systems, policies, procedures, and your organizational chart. This forms the basis for making sensible data-driven organizational changes.

  • Innovative Recruitment Strategies

Traditional resume sorting is highly inefficient and often loses some of the most viable candidates. This behavioral-based and highly structured process of discerning and differentiating talent saves immense time & nets better results.

  • Assessments

Using proven assessments validated by research gives you the information you need about what is going on organizationally in a number of key areas. With this data, your organizational direction and decisions are greatly enhanced and are an extremely valuable complement to your own anecdotal data.

  • Corporate & Board Retreats

Using a PRE, DURING & POST methodology, co-creating the optimal process for moving out of the daily operational mindset and creating necessary space & process for focusing on critical strategic conversations.

  • Remote Organizational Development

In a world that requires fast and nimble response time for short and long-term initiatives, remote/virtual consulting practices are essential. This allows clients not to be bound by geography or travel expenses and makes available expertise literally around the world and literally at your fingertips.

We welcome the opportunity to hear from you. Ask us a question about a challenge, a problem, or your aspirations. We will provide you with our professional response at no cost to you.

How We Work

TWG takes working with and impacting an organization or company very seriously. The inherent size and scope of any entity mean that each intervention can have an exponential impact. Our PRE, DURING & POST proven methodology affords alignment, clarity, and a diagnostic and development process designed with outcomes in mind and accountabilities in place.

What You Can Expect

As is true with every TWG collaboration, you can expect the highest level of customization. When we are working with you, you can expect the kind of attention that will feel like - because you are - the most important client that we have.
