“Change is a way of life in our industry. The existence of our company depends on it.”
                       -CEO from ASTD Learning Study, 2006

75% of initiatives to grow or improve any business (merger, strategy, team, culture) fail to achieve the expected ROI. (Mourier & Smith, 2001).

Just as a car needs re-alignment after a change (e.g., new tires), so do teams and people. Alignment happens through proper attention to communication, emotions and work flow. The result is systems and work habits that improve productivity and make sense to people.

Guarantee

We guarantee our work. Leaders and Jackson & Schmidt pre-define a measurable improvement in business metrics AND culture for the end of the engagement period. If you have made the effort to implement our recommendations and did not achieve the desired results, we keep working at no additional fees until you are satisfied.

Distinctions

Many growth efforts fail due to complex, programmatic, or unrealistic initiatives that do not easily integrate into the day-to-day work of busy people.

Three distinctions set us apart from traditional change management:

  •  We focus on simple habits and easy to adopt tools that immediately help people and teams reduce conflict and improve productivity.
  •  We work with each client in a unique way and build a special combination of methods that support your program or initiative. We ensure you learn what you need and can implement what we offer.
  •  We pre-define performance measures leaders want and build programs that achieve them.
