The impact

A leadership team that had stopped working across its own divisions

The president brought me in for a single session with his senior team. It became a multi-year engagement. Departments that had never collaborated started identifying and solving problems together. The way of working spread into groups that were never part of the original scope, and one project alone saved the organization more than a million dollars a year.

“I have my managers meeting every week and talking about entrepreneurial mindset. This is too good to be true!” Dr. Dan Walden, Superintendent/President, Victor Valley College

An organization whose people outgrew its own personnel rules

Employees started solving problems nobody assigned them, and moving up faster than the existing rules were built to handle. Eventually, the rules had to be rewritten to keep pace with people who’d started treating the outcome as their own.

“Empowering our employees to think like entrepreneurs has transformed our culture. Productivity is up, engagement is higher, and people are taking initiative instead of waiting for permission.” Tom Darling, Associate Director of Human Resources, The City of Albuquerque
