Organizational Network Analysis
Project Lead
The legal team of the United States’ largest tech hardware company was highly siloed reducing the efficiency and effectiveness of their teams. To solve this challenge we conducted an Organizational Network Analysis to understand the individuals who communicated most frequently. As a result the teams were re-organized into three pods to increase collaboration.
Scaling Social Media
Project Lead
The world’s largest social media platform has rapidly been scaling their teams to meet global demand. As they’ve grown, the startup mantra of “everyone does everything” began to hinder team effectiveness. To enable intentional growth we developed a growth strategy for the Global Mobility, Benefits, and HR services teams including an understanding of task work flow/process, capability assessment, role development, and decision rights.
BECOMING DIGITAL
Lead Facilitator
A global high-end data storage, software, and consulting services company was experiencing declining profits for 3 years. Executive leadership needed to revitalize the company by focusing on digital IoT services. To enable this strategic shift we overhauled their Services, Product, and Sales teams developing everything from high-level op models, channel strategy, talent capabilities, and talent placement.
