Organizations grow and change, and so do the people in them. We help you solve the problems you are facing today and guide you toward the future with a proactive strategy.
Are you exploring the integration of two or more business units? Is your vision to create a multi-disciplinary center?
When developing a new organizational design, it’s important to understand the implications on efficiency, effectiveness, customer experience and employee morale. We can help ensure your vision succeeds.
Sometimes a comprehensive strategic plan is necessary. Often, a more streamlined approach is helpful to focus on priorities.
Your mission and vision may be clear, but your organization's priorities are shifting or not clearly defined. Different parts are moving in different directions. We can help you prioritize and align your resources with effective solutions.
The most common shortcoming of a great strategy lies not in its development but in its implementation.
Where is there resistance? What are the competing priorities? We develop change management plans, and implementation strategies to advance your vision and obtain long-term results.
"Our Department is appreciative of the work done with one of our teams to identify roles and responsibilities, opportunities to streamline work, and help us map the future development of the team and their work. An unintended, yet wonderful, consequence of the project was that the team trusted Jill and she was able to work with the them to be open and honest and help make progress. There was uncertainty by some team members when the process started, but Jill put everyone at ease and brought out the best of them and helped the team develop into a cohesive unit supportive of one another’s work and professional development. Communication with Jill was clear and timely and she did an excellent job informing stakeholders and holding us accountable to make progress and decisions."

"Working with Jill to assess and re-imagine the Office of Academic Affairs at the School of Veterinary Medicine has been incredibly successful. Jill asked thoughtful questions; listened intently; systematically gathered feedback and perspectives from students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders; gathered bench-marking data from peer programs and institutions; and worked collaboratively to ensure that recommendations were in line with the vision, culture, and community at the SVM. This work set the stage to envision future efforts in the SVM related to student experience and academic affairs."
