many companies are confronted by similar People challenges. The scenarios presented below demonstrate our approach.
It usually starts with a talk with a C-Level Executive. They have such a broad view- they can feel the impact of the organizational challenges they face. They also realize that they need help in identifying the specific issues and creating a solution. MMC is then engaged to do some detective work. Using our experience in assessment, we are able to create survey techniques which help us gather data. We then assemble the data in a meaningful way and report our findings. Using the the data, we work together with you to develop an approach that will allow you to overcome the challenges you face. Finally, we partner with you as we execute on the approach.
The Situation:
The various departments in your organization seem to clash with each other. There are many battles that do not get resolved, any progress seems to get sidetracked. You have met with the department heads, but they seem to act as though everything is fine. There is little disagreement in the room, but as CEO you feel that there is more to the story. Our consultants meet not only with your department heads, but also survey the people that report to them. Through our "organizational audit", we discover there is no coherent guidance for decision-making and therefore department heads are making decisions based on personal biases, not a coherent strategy. In addition, the head of finance is constantly yelling at his staff, so they are demoralized and the department turnover rate is twice as high as the rest of the company.
The Solution:
The leadership team is taken through a facilitated exercise in order to design/develop a unifying strategy that identifies gaps between desired corporate goals and the current behaviors. From this meeting specific action steps are identified to move the organization forward. In this case, not only were cross department meetings indicated, but the finance head was identified as in need of individual coaching in order for his department to improve its functioning.
Our consultants can develop and design the interventions, faciltitate the meetings using their expertise in understanding human behavior to maximize the effectiveness, and provide the individual or departmental coaching needed to create the highest levels of performance.

Adding leadership to your organization?
We partnered with the organization as they developed a profile of the perfect candidate for the leadership position. Once the necessary capabilities were determined, qualitative and quantitative measures were utilized to determine "best-fit" candidates for the position. By matching intellectual capabilities and personality characteristics to organizational culture and role requirements, we identified the right person for the right position.
