As an association leader, you may frequently experience challenges and opportunities such as lack of internal resources or capacity to effectively complete initiatives, the need for innovative and engaging professional development programs, rapid change or growth, leaders bogged down in detailed operational issues and not focused on the right things, or the need to create organization-wide shared values, a focused mission, and an inspirational vision. We are known by our clients for extending internal teams and leveraging expertise, for developing well-architected and engaging learning programs, for providing senior leaders the freedom to work strategically, and for reducing the risk associated with complex initiatives.
Imagine the impact when you…
- Showcase leading-edge learning and provide members with flexible and blended learning experiences (on time and on budget)
- Capture in one place the entire body of knowledge that your members need to be successful in their field
- Create an educational ecosystem for your members to plug into, depending on their learning needs and preferences, and certification requirements
- Empower your key employees and teams to become more effective as leaders
- Improve the impact of meetings and make better decisions in less time
- Align your entire community around a shared strategy, vision, and actionable plan
How do you get there?

- Strategic planning (for the association, for chapters, or for a specific critical initiative)
- Comprehensive and reader-friendly compendiums and texts/books
- High-impact team, meeting, and retreat facilitation
