“Consultants To The Leaders of Change”

Executive Summary - Corporate

Does your organization require a change to support aggressive, new or changing strategies?

Are profits declining? Has the CEO announced his retirement? Is there a merger/acquisition in process affecting your company? Is your company experiencing rapid growth? Is there a new enterprise technology solution being put in place?

Leadership during changes like these is a challenge. You are called upon to understand ways of being and ways of doing that are different from what has made you successful so far.

Is there a need for structure, communication, accountability or a common company culture?

If there were a better way to build leaders and align individuals, teams, and business units with the strategic goals of the organization then your path would be surer, swifter and less costly. It would result in better solutions to the changing corporate challenges described above. The Denniston Consulting Group (DCG) approaches these challenges from a “systems thinking” perspective. In a business environment, finding solutions requires an understanding of all the systems that generate the challenging issues. DCG digs deep and understands these from the inside out.

Our system of helping an organization to clearly define and understand expectations leads to the ideal solution that accelerates the achievement of your goals.

Before we proceed, what is that systems thinking that you mentioned?

Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing the whole. It is a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than stand alone parts. It is a discipline for seeing patterns and trends rather than snapshots. Sometimes this is best done by an objective expert trained in observing these occurrences. DCG has that ability and can also evaluate whether some of the root causes are related to structure, culture, processes, communication or other influences.

You recognize these symptoms but still don’t have a solution in place. Your challenges are still there.

Why is this? The simple fact is businesses change. If there is no change, there is no growth. Businesses with no growth soon die. Changes in an organization are usually due to strategies for growth or uncontrollable factors. Both need to be managed.

You know the challenges exist but don’t have the time to manage each one efficiently. In some cases you may not know exactly how to tackle the challenge. Prioritization is always a problem and you need objectivity in proceeding. DCG provides all of the above, taking your organization to the level that is part of your vision. We also stand by your side and consult with you as you lead your organization through change.

What does “Understanding ways of being and ways of doing,” mean?

· How to put processes and structure into place while keeping that entrepreneurial spirit and growth target in place.

· Zeroing in on the critical steps to manage an organization through any turbulence encountered.

· How to create one organizational culture that people are proud to be a part of, while at the same time providing speed, flexibility and efficiency in decision making.

· Preparing the business and its people for technology based change and doing things different than “the way we’ve always done it”.
