Organization Assessment and Design
Cultureflo works with clients to intentionally assess their entire organization, with a focus on making improvements. The belief is that a good organization design supports and determines whether an organization experiences success in carrying out mission, executing strategy, or implementing projects. I work with clients through a discovery process to assess current state and then to ensure that their organization has the right systems, processes, people, and structure in place to align well to its objectives and environmental demands.
Process Design and Improvements
Good processes are a necessary part of good business, at Cultureflo I work with organizations to assess and improve their business processes through a facilitated process. It is understood that building quality into processes is a necessary component and that quality in systems and processes is most impacted at points of interaction. We bring all the players or stakeholders into the room to design quality interaction points and processes.
