Needs Assessment and Analysis

Partners in Development collaborates with you to understand your organization’s unique culture, goals, and business strategies. We listen to you define your current and desired business results. Then we take a systematic approach to analyze ideal and current performance levels, and identify causes and potential solutions to closing those gaps.


Development: Planning and Strategies

When dealing with a business problem or developing an organizational vision and strategy, it is sometimes difficult to see the proverbial “forest for the trees.” Our staff includes experienced meeting and strategic planning facilitators who can assist you to gain new insights about your organization and identify break-through ideas. Then we work with you to construct a plan for implementing major changes such as restructuring, reorganizing, and launching new products or services.


Development: Constructing Solutions

Many factors influence individual and organizational performance. Some of these are related to the work environment and culture of the organization; others deal with the skills and motivations of the team members. Partners in Development professionals work with you to find and create the solutions that provide the greatest value for your investment. Potential solutions may include: new (documented) work procedures, and job descriptions, communication plans, a performance management system, or employee training; team building; and facilitated planning sessions to address team performance issues to name just a few examples. We also have experience conducting organizational cultural assessments.


Training and Coaching Implementation

We listen to your unique needs, your industry and business environment, organizational culture and then apply best practices to create learning solutions that improve individual, team and organizational performance. We specialize in leadership and management development training that is research-based on current best practices as well as time-tested principles. All of our courses are facilitated by experts who have content expertise, practical business experience, and knowledge of workplace learning and performance. Every course is highly interactive, ensuring maximum attention and completion of intended outcomes. Participants are able to apply learning to their unique situations. For further details see each course description under Training Course Options.
