"Your consulting has helped us become one of the most productive groups in the company. You integrated the key concepts of communication, commitment, collaboration in your leadership and management consulting, providing a practical framework we were able to learn and apply." Jim Petersen, Director, FrameMaker Engineering, Adobe Systems, Inc.       Aim Of Our Organizational Consulting: The aim of LG Services is to help individuals, teams, departments and organizations consistently achieve intended results. For long-term productivity, since there is always another project, we emphasize the importance of people producing with satisfaction and well being. LG works with the strategic and operational side of business to help companies consistently produce on time with high quality and customer satisfaction. We do this through a structured, yet customized consulting, coaching and training format that has been proven to work in both large and small organizations. We work with clients on all or selected areas listed below until this aim is accomplished. Establish or check alignment on company vision, values and strategic intention. Check Architecture to see whether the following actively support the strategic intention: Organizational structure, roles and commitments Management philosophy and system Reward systems (individuals and/or teams) IS Technology and support Assess Culture to ascertain whether the culture (cultures: in the case of acquisition oriented companies) is congruent with the present Lifecycle Stage of the company. Assess Teams, Groups and Department (Functional Groups) Individuals always have areas of strong competency and areas that need to be developed. We offer the Accelerated Executive program for those managers who are ready to grow and develop their competence in managing and leading. Key contributors are just as important as management thus we address their issues also.   Our First Service: Organizational Assessment We offer an Organizational Assessment session to determine your direction, strategy, tactical plans, concerns, issues, and current breakdowns. There is no charge for this session, which often includes talking with key managers and contributors. Our promise is that whether you choose to work with us or not you will have found value from the session and will have some action you can take immediately. During the session, which can range from 2-3 hours, we will accomplish the following: 1. Determine whether the company has strategic concerns or operational issues. If the strategic issues are not of strong concern we will address operational matters. 2. Determine the company's concerns, issues and any immediate breakdowns in the on-time delivery of high quality products and services Set priorities for addressing each issue. 3. Provide an overview of our proprietary Operational Management System, developed in both Fortune 500 and smaller corporations. Knowledge of the Operational Management System provides managers with a system for consistently producing in the face of both internal and external change. When managers and contributors have a system in place for delivering exceptional service to their internal clients. When there are the inevitable breakdowns, managers either know what to do next or whom to call for coaching. They succeed either way. The Operational Management System includes checking employee understanding/alignment on Strategic Intention, then assessing Architecture, Culture and the competencies of Teams and Individuals. Areas of waste or situations in which people are not aligned with intended goals are revealed and addressed with: Individual managerial coaching, including on the job assignments to deepen learning of the operational management system Small group coaching/training Brief training using our Effective Manager program Formalized Individual and/or team assessments of productivity and interaction competence and intervention planning. Continuous follow-up with consultants available via telephone, fax and email. 4. Discuss and develop a strategy for intervention and implementation of a program to support people to produce efficiently and effectively as individuals and in teams.
