STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS
Crandall/Partners recognizes that the quality of
people and people systems are key to the success of any organization.
The degree to which an organization's employee work environment
supports employee efforts and nurtures their growth and development
directly affects bottom line results.
Crandall/Partners has the expertise to assess the people
processes in your organization. We can then make recommendations
that will enhance their effectiveness. This may include augmenting
your internal capabilities with temporary or contract experts,
or engaging us to work with your internal team to improve your
existing Human Resource and other people systems already in place.
Perhaps you have a need to revitalize the values and mission
of your organization so that all employees are clear regarding
the future and their place in it. Or, there has been a lot of
change in the organization and you are struggling to get your
management team to embrace this change and all pull in the same
direction. Maybe your current definition of acceptable employee
performance is not aggressive enough for today's competitive
market and you need to improve your performance management systems.
These are just some examples of where Crandall/Partners can
be of great assistance.
| Strategic Planning |

|
| Help define mission, values and corporate culture |
| Facilitate planning meetings to identify main focus |
| Oversee data gathering so specific action plans can be developed |
| Translate broad strategic initiatives into defined, measurable objectives |
Develop and implement communication within the organization |

"The finest technology, the best market locations, the
most creative product development-all of these advantages
can be severely compromised if proper people placement, team
behavior, communication processes and dynamic leadership
are not in place."
Steven Crandall, Crandall/Partners

| Talent Assessment |
We can help you identify your key, high potential
people and design plans for their individual development.
This results not only in their personal growth and
best use of their talent, but also greatly increases
retention. At the same time, you may have people who
are mis-matched in their jobs, or for a variety of
reasons need alternatives that are a better fit. Our
staff evaluation processes ensure that you will know
the collective strengths and weaknesses of your team
and how to best deploy their talent for maximum effectiveness
and productivity.
|
| Leadership Training |
Developing the leadership skills of your managers
and supervisors is an important investment because
strong leadership is the foundation of organizational
effectiveness. Crandall/Partners can provide a variety
of on- site training programs customized to your specific
needs. In addition, we are a leading provider of Dr.
Thomas Gordon's Leader Effectiveness TrainingTM ,
the "gold standard" in building
interpersonal skills and enhancing the
influence and impact of those expected
to lead in your organization.
|
| Mergers and Acquisition Integration |
Even the best planned "corporate marriages" experience
a variety of procedural, system and cultural
challenges. The integration of two distinct
entities involves more than just the financial
side of the picture. We can assist in bringing
the human side together, easing the uncertainty
and helping to build the new combined identity.
Some examples include:
|
| Organizational structure design |
| Human Resource policy determination and integration |
| Benefit and compensation structures |
| Cultural assessment |
Communication planning and execution

Board of Directors Consulting |
Crandall/Partners works with a variety of organizations,
particularly non-profits, in helping their boards and
management define their respective roles and responsibilities.
We then provide workshops that flesh out these roles,
resulting in clear activities, authorities and accountabilities
within these distinct entities.
|
| Executive Coaching |
| Often, individual executives or managers can benefit
from outside counsel on a variety of issues. Perhaps
it involves a sensitive internal problem, team development
or personal growth. Sometimes we become so close to
our own internal structures that it is hard to be objective
and sort out creative solutions to problems. We have
extensive experience in providing the right level of
support as an outside resource for a variety of organizational
and personal needs of your management team. |
The more effective your people processes - the more effective
your organization.
"Crandall/Partners with you to keep you on the leading edge."
