OUR APPROACH
Through our experience working with individuals and organizations, we have noticed some some common pitfalls of working with external consultants. Often, their expertise may not match with your organization’s specific needs, which can feel like squeezing a round peg into a square hole. Other times, the organization may benefit from strategic direction while the individual contributors are left behind in the dark. Sometimes consultants can provide an fascinating bevy of self-assessment tools that, while interesting and helpful, usually leave people and teams scratching their heads and wondering what to do with the information. The Trail Ridge Group exists to change all that. We’ve developed a unique approach to client engagements that directly counters each of these pitfalls and launches strategic direction and intentional focus throughout the entire organization:
STRATEGIC
PLANNING
It has been appropriately stated that "without vision, people perish"...including many organizations. Through the use of a proven Strategic Operating process, (fondly known as StratOp), we guide leaders and their teams to holistically plan for their future. Using over 25 customized tools, we come alongside organizations to engage perspective and plan the strategic, operational and financial aspects of the business. Over a three day process, the organization gains clarity and perspective to create a workable plan that aligns the entire team with the ability to track progress and momentum forward, as well as renew and refine the plan as the marketplace changes.
INDIVIDUAL ALIGNMENT
In order to ensure individual contributor alignment, we facilitate key employees through the LifePlan process - a two day intensive guided by a trained facilitator that culminates in a customized strategic operating plan for individuals. The LifePlan culminates in a measurable plan that captures, maximizes and focuses the individual contributor’s potential and contribution in their personal, family, career and community domains. From a corporate standpoint, the LifePlan is an individual investment and benefit into your employees that not only gives them a great gift for their future but also leverages alignment and focuses engagement throughout your entire organization.
SOCIAL
ENGAGEMENT
Trail Ridge Group brings deep knowledge and expertise in assisting organizations to develop and launch learning and development projects to communicate, drive and leverage the company culture. Using a variety of tools and skillets, we facilitate groups, implement e-learning environments, coach executives and lead trainings to deliver comprehensive and customized results that drives cultural conversations and engagement. Does strategy drive culture or does culture drive strategy? We think both: visionary planning, hand in hand with individual alignment and cultural engagement, enables great strategic accomplishments throughout the organization.
