Consulting
At DLG, we take a strengths-based approach to assessing organizational needs. We utilize an Appreciative Inquiry model that allows teams to identify the critical change needed to thrive and compete in demanding markets. DLG focuses on the core strengths of the organization and utilizes them to redesign processes that lead to transformative and sustainable business outcomes.
CONSULTING PROCESS
Our consulting process is one that is detailed, inclusive, and tailored for your exact needs. Distinct features include:
COMPREHENSIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT
We utilize Appreciative Inquiry, a proven and powerful qualitative method, to assess and impact culture and organizational development. This process is effective because it taps the intellectual capital of a company. By conducting these culture assessments, identifying core values that drive organizational dynamics, strategy, and behavior, we can create buy-in at all levels and produce energy for successful implementation of change.
IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS IN ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
The Intentional Change Model (ICM), has been proven effective in coaching and in business—wherever individuals and companies are undergoing change. We assess a company’s current reality along with their ideal state. We work with the leaders to establish a realistic plan of action to close the gaps that hinder the achievement of consistent organizational excellence.
