Positive organizational change is on its way!

Here’s what you can expect from CtC planning services!
Together we'll work with the unique realities of your organization and customize an approach using any combination of the following offerings:
Assess: Assessing your current reality is a key to revealing your next steps.
Surveys and Focus Groups: Organizational transformation doesn’t happen because of the work of a staff alone; it includes members/clients/customers as well. CtC assists you to develop survey tools and/or focus groups that will empower you to put your finger on the pulse of your target audience so that your innovation efforts will meet real needs and will be welcomed as relevant solutions to your audience's most pressing issues.
Vision Clarification: Working without a vision is like expecting a GPS to get you where you want to go without inputting the address. Clear, concise, and inspiring visions energize an organization’s successful forward movement and clarify what is important now. CtC can assist you with vision clarification and vision communication.
Mission and Values Clarification: Self-awareness is a necessary component of committed organizations and committed individuals. Identifying what we stand for in a certain place and at a certain time in history guides our daily priorities and clarifies to what and to whom we will be committed. CtC can assist you as you develop a captivating mission statement and a powerful list of core values that will clarify your organization’s identity.
Identify SMART Goals and Relevant Strategies: When an organization works on developing a clear picture of its future (visioning) and how it is called to be in the present moment (mission and values), goals begin to emerge that are both consistent with the organization’s identity and empower the organization to realize its vision. Large goals are broken down into actionable strategies that can be lived in decisive and powerful ways on a daily basis by everyone in the organization. Strategies are where the “rubber hits the road” and are the behaviors that build, brick by brick, the desired future of an organization. CtC can assist you in developing Specific, Measurable, Attractive, Relevant, and Time-sensitive goals as well as the strategies that bring them to life.
Model: Modeling is a simple and visual way of capturing a global view of your organization. By systematically following a product, a service, or a client through your organization, great insight and awareness can emerge. These powerful insights can reveal the areas where an organization needs to focus its attention to facilitate positive transformation. CtC has a process for assisting organizations with model development.
Implement: Planning without implementation is like mapping out your dream road trip and never getting into the car. Implementation is the deliberate process of changing individual and corporate actions and words to align with the plan. Creating deep levels of organizational trust, honest dialogue, and high commitment will set the stage for dynamic accountability as the plan unfolds. CtC will assist you with both the foundations and the daily routines of implementation.
Evaluate: Evaluation is how we stay on track. Organizations that build dynamic communication systems into their structure know at any given moment how well or how poorly they are doing with their plan. Evaluation is both formal and spontaneous. CtC can assist you as you develop an ongoing plan for evaluation and improvement.
Coach: Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Organizational leaders who are managing transitions benefit in unique ways from a professional coaching relationship. It is a way of building accountability and consistent strategic movement into a planning process. Coaching empowers people to produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations, helping them to bridge the gap between where they are now and where they want to be. Coaches partner with their clients to design the life they want, bring out their clients’ own brilliance and resources so that they can achieve excellence and create purposeful, extraordinary lives and organizations.
Enculturate: One of the greatest failures of organizational innovation is the lack of awareness of the power of organizational culture. Every organization has a unique culture, and the culture drives team members to think, feel, speak, and act in particular ways. Much of the motivation for these thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are below the conscious level. The CtC process will assist you with naming cultural characteristics that both help and hinder the innovation process. The organization can then develop strategies to enculturate the new approaches so that they become part of the heart and soul of organizational life going forward.
