Fractional Operations Management and Project Management

I help organizations focus on their core business by serving as a part time senior manager. Organizations benefit from a cost effective, flexible, scalable manager to handle specific portions of your operations. This may be in the area of long-term planning, implementing a new program, emergency response capacity, community engagement initiatives, or other distinct tasks. Benefits to your organization include gaining a focus on a particular project/function and avoiding staff burnout.

Coaching

I help individuals and teams in realizing their potential by getting the best out of people. I do this by helping people create and understand their objectives, identify and remove obstacles, set actionable goals, and create lasting habits. Results include improved individual and/or team performance, leadership development, and increased employee engagement and retention.

Strategic Planning

An outside facilitator is a critical success factor in creating or updating an organization’s strategic plan. An actionable strategic plan ensures every decision, resource, effort, and employee is aligned for maximum impact. The results of a solid plan will provide your organization with the clarity, direction, flexibility, and accountability needed to overcome challenges that all organizations face.

Facilitation of Meetings and Retreats

Using a neutral independent facilitator with years of experience is critical to both getting input and making decisions that move organizations forward. I customize engagements whether they be teambuilding and alignment workshops, problem solving sessions, or retreats. Benefits to the organization are saved time and effort in preparation and clear, actionable outcomes.
