Organizational Development

Is your organization:

Doing well and wants to do even better? Facing a serious problem that is difficult to resolve on your own? Planning a critical meeting or planning process that would be helped by an expert, outside facilitator?

Krieger Solutions’ consultants can help you build strong organizational cultures, improve your operations, and resolve people and system problems.

Working as your partner, we can help you with:

Meeting Facilitation
For meetings or retreats with a critical or complex agenda, we can help you build a winning design and facilitate the session to get you the results you want.

Strategic Planning
No one can predict the future, but you can make some good guesses and develop plans for possible scenarios.  The challenge with a strategic plan is to keep it simple and useful. Our process is streamlined, focusing on key strategic goals and a realistic, focused action plan.  We help you produce a simple strategic plan that will move you forward.

Team Building
If your organization is not working as a collaborative team, you’re losing productivity and missing growth opportunities.  We can help you assess the reasons behind this and initiate changes to build a stronger, more collaborative culture.

Problem Solving
Sometimes, in spite of your best efforts, some problems just won’t resolve.  Bringing in an outside consultant with a fresh perspective and skills in asking the right questions can help shed light on the underlying issues.  Getting everyone to agree on the same solution is the next challenge.  We are skilled at bringing people together and working through difficult differences.

Evaluation / Assessment
Many new initiatives are undertaken without a clear sense of what the issues are or how they can be evaluated. We’re practical consultants, not research scientists, so we help you design simple, low cost tools for assessing situations and evaluating the results.
