We help you and your company achieve real success.
Real: meaningful, supportive, friendly to people and to the environment.
Success: profitable, generous, life affirming, community minded, for the benefit of others as well as oneself or one’s company
There is more than one way to succeed in business and in life. The model of callous achievement at the expense of others is not the only one. We are fortunate to work with clients and to support organizations whose purpose is not only to make a profit but also to make a difference in the lives of their customers and employees and to support the communities in which they exist.
Today's most admired companies and leading social entrepreneurs show us that business success and sustainability are a function of the disciplined execution of a compelling strategic vision of service to all of the stakeholders of the organization. On the global stage, business sustainability is linked to the capacity of multicultural teams to deliver outstanding results in the context of a meaningful shared vision and of a global culture.
Our methodology and programs address the current problems of your organization in a way that helps it integrate meaning and real success in the outcome.
Some projects we have successfully completed:
- the development of a strategic team for a global Foundation
- the constitution of a key project team for a major biotechnology company
- the record-breaking first opening of the largest superstore in Central Europe (Romania) for a top European retailer with a multicultural team of Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian and French nationals
- the development of a multicultural team able to introduce a new brand of natural cosmetics in the United States and Mexico for a global cosmetics company
- the development of a proactive culture for a Bay Area-based company which is a leader in the field of communications
- the transition from "good idea" to operational business for a Bay Area start-up
- the productive merger of two business units from two major European energy companies in the context of the deregulated EU market
