Meeting today's challenges
Today's municipal, not-for-profit and educational environments are confronted with imposed changes. Some of these changes are
- delivering select services with fewer financial resources
- managing the loss of human capital
- integrating rapidly changing technologies
- anticipating security threats
Faced with these challenges many local governments, not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions find traditional management approaches ineffective in this new environment.
Municipalities, not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions that successfully serve stakeholders are building leaders who strategically lead change while accessing the latent talents and resources within the organization.
Our Unique Approach
The programs developed and used by LFG are based on our unique methodology trademarked as A2D4 (agree, analyze, design, develop, do & digest). The role of our staff in this process is to act as a guide, coach, mentor, and expert in the subject of change. The client organization does the work by employing teams of its own people throughout our programs. We are facilitators, not consultants. This is consistent with our belief that the answers lie within each of us.
The A2D4 Self-Designing Organizational Approach is composed of six interlocking phases:
- AGREE on your endeavor
- ANALYZE your system/organization
- DESIGN the system/process
- DEVELOP the plan and ready the organization
- DO the work
- DIGEST the results
This unique process has developed well-tested programs to help leadership successfully navigate the chaos and uncertainty that often exists in troubled times. We are confident our programs will help leadership and employees gain new confidence and perceived control of their work environment. The result is cohesion among executives, staff, and community in preparing for and managing change. Our goal is to develop self sustaining systems that the client can use to keep themselves in balance. These systems and processes are self-managed and help ensure alignment, growth and progress.
