Our Approach to Improving Organizational Health

Developing holistic leaders

Holistic leaders get the best out of themselves and the people they lead. We help your leaders cultivate both the competence and character needed for your organization to thrive. Through a combination of training, coaching and community, your leaders will learn to leverage their strengths and develop the skills and mindsets needed for today’s rapidly changing world.

1. Series Membership - live, weekly, virtual training experiences with a network of inspiring peers

2. Bespoke Program - a customized series of trainings offered exclusively to your leaders

3. One-on-one and Team Coaching - targeted skill development and goal achievement

4. New Leader Clarity - Formulating, communicating, and teaching clarity & purpose

Building cohesive teams

Cohesive teams are psychologically safe, generate more innovative ideas, make more informed decisions, and perform better. We help you overcome lack of trust, unhealthy conflict, under-utilized strengths and absence of clarity to co-create solutions that improve team dynamics for everyone involved.

1. Clarity and purpose formulation that answer questions like “Why do we exist?” “What do we do?” “How will we succeed?” “What’s most important, now?” “How will we behave?” and “Who must do what?”

2. Virtual and in-person leadership off-site design and facilitation for groups ranging from 2 to 2,000

3. Support in designing and facilitating learning programs and experiences (using tools like DiSC, MBTI and Strengths Profile)

Fostering thriving cultures

Thriving cultures improve engagement, productivity and performance. We believe that culture drives business outcomes, is everyone’s responsibility, is measurable, and can change. Cultivating a thriving culture begins by identifying the values and behaviors that will lead to your desired results and we can help.

1. An integrated and robust diversity, equity and inclusion strategy

2. Support in identifying behaviors & norms to embody organizational values

3. Denison Organizational Culture Survey

4. Culture Kaizen consultation

Facilitating inclusive change

An inclusive approach to change helps people to embrace what is new and develop the agility required for today’s rapidly evolving workplace. We help organizations optimize big and small change initiatives through a process that allows team members to contribute to the change, versus simply feeling the change is happening to them.

• Change narrative writing and teaching

• Segmented change management planning and execution

• Formation and facilitation of change champions

• Training and learning design and meeting facilitation

How We Do It

We use a four-part model to help our clients achieve real results within a defined timeline.

1. DEFINE: We Start By Setting Strategic Objectives

We believe an outstanding experience involves thoughtful and strategic thinking from the very beginning. We use input, observations, and clarifying questions to diagnose your organizational health and set unique objectives and parameters that will guide our engagement with your organization.

2. DESIGN: We Imagine What’s Possible and Make a Plan to Get There 

When designing a project, we always plan for the healthiest possible outcome, whether that outcome requires a more conventional approach or extreme, out-of-the-box thinking. Our commitment to thinking differently and imagining all of the possibilities is a big part of why our clients consistently achieve their goals after working with us on a project. We are constantly researching to improve our toolkit and bring what is new and useful to the table, while also being mindful of what is tried, tested, and proven in your industry. 

3. DELIVER: We Show Up As Partners

One of the first pieces of client feedback we ever received was that we “really showed up”, and that resonated with us, because it perfectly describes our core values here at sr4 “Partners”. We take the partnership with our clients very seriously, and when we execute a project with your team, we take full ownership of both the deliverables and the results. Our goal is to be a true extension of your team on the path to optimal health, whether you partner with us for one project or for ongoing consulting.

4. EVALUATE & ADJUST: We Identify What Worked & Make It Better

We believe in exemplifying a growth mindset. We are constantly checking the pulse of our engagements and seeking to identify which parts of our work have the largest positive impact on our clients’ health and success...then we do those parts even better. We are also constantly fielding client feedback and taking it back to the lab, seeking to evolve our work to be more helpful based on both qualitative and quantitative feedback.
