ASSESSMENT The Strategic Leadership Organizational Health Assessment is an online assessment. It can be done by one person, typically the CEO, but is meant to be done involving all leaders if not all employees in an organization. The assessment includes closed and open ended questions relating to the five parts of the Strategic Leadership Process. A standard Assessment as well as a customized version is available. In addition to the automatic generated report a partner of Strategic Leadership Partners will study the report and discuss the results with the representative(s) of your organization. The report is very valuable by itself and is also a great foundation for creating a clear direction for your organization.

KEYS are a typical way to start a consulting engagement. Identifying Key Success Factors is a powerful and effective way to help executive management to focus on what matters most and be aligned around execution. KEYS consist of individual interviews with 3-5 management team members by phone or in person where we use our tested interview process to get all the issues identified and validated. We then have a meeting with all management team members in a ½ day meeting in which the issues are prioritized and agreed upon. Finally we create a plan for next steps.

CUSTOMERS are the livelihood of all organizations, yet most do not know how well they are taking care of their customers' needs. Of course everyone thinks they know, but it requires a third party to get the customers to open up and speak out openly about what they really feel. At Strategic Leadership Partners we have created a practice that focuses on getting the needed information from customers. We use many different approaches including: one-on-one in person and on the phone interviews, focus groups, progressive interviews, structured mass surveys, online surveys and video recordings. We are known for our success with Customer Satisfaction Scores.

EMPLOYEES are the most valuable resource in almost all organizations. Many organizations think they are taking good care of their employees, but few have an organized and confidential way to gather information about their employee’s job satisfaction. At Strategic Leadership Partners we have developed several ways to identify the strengths of organizations' employees and the key factors to increase satisfaction and productivity. Our experience shows that it is typically possible to increase productivity among knowledge workers from 40% to 80%.

COMPETITION Many organizations do not pay enough attention to their competitors and the opportunities and threads they offer. In cooperation with Utah State University and Notre Dame University, Strategic Leadership Partners utilize the 3 Circle Growth model to identify competitive advantages for our clients.

CHANGE TEAMS When issues has been defined that will have impact on the organizations' future, it is neccessarry to solve the issues. Often this require people from different places of the organization. We have created a process where we have a Change Team for each of the closter of issues and a Core Team that the Change Teams report to. The Change Teams typically meet weekly and the Core Team typically meet monthly and a Partner from Strategic Leadership Partners facilitate each meeting till the issues are solved.

360° PROFILE customised to the new direction of the organization is used in an escalating coaching process. The 360 help each leader to work on areas where personal change is needed in order to be in alignment with the new direction of the organization. It also becomes the foundation when hiring and training employees.

CULTURE is the sum of behaviors in an organization as has resently been identified as the most compettitive advantage an organization can have. Mix of cultures is typically the main reason why mergers and aquisitions fail. Culture has to be created, managed and lived. The true measure of a brand is when it is behaved by all of the organization's employees.

SECRET SHOPPING is a great way to observe if an organization is truly "walking the talk" of their brand and following the clear direction that the executives have set up as their Compass. We typically have one partner be a secret shopper as well as manage several teams of secret shoppers. Specific guidelines are created including different times of the day and week to do the shopping.

COACHING is the the one tool that has become highly used in the last decade. Where it used to be considered lack of knowledge and leadership to have a coach it is now documented that great leaders are able to outperform their competitors by using an executive coach. At Strategic Leadership Partners our coaching program is founded in the organizations' Compass.

WORKSHOPS Strategy and Leadership Workshops are customised to the individual organization, but founded in several of the Partners involvement with leading business schools where they have been professors for years combined with their practical experience.
