Our Consultation Process

Introductory Phone Call

Our initial conversation begins with a 30 minute to hour long candid overview of your organization, its history, culture, philosophy and management style.  Not only do we want to know your problem areas, we would like to know what makes your organization “tick”.

Afterward, we get dive into the broader realm of concerns you have and allow you to share specific areas that are troubling you.

Finally, we schedule a second call for a later date, while we delve into research mode to generate a game plan.

Strategy Session

After receiving a thorough overview of your organizations structure, culture and areas of concern, our team of executives gather to share insights into successful companies that have successfully navigated similar challenges in the past.

We compare notes and carefully structure a strategy of multiple corrective measures that can be implemented.

A blueprint is developed to outline and address each area of concern as well as action items necessary to correct the concern.  The entire plan is documented in detail.

 

Executive Overview

A second call is scheduled to share the findings of Trusted Visions.  First, the overall concept of correction is reviewed, followed by our executive team’s recommendations. 

Often, we suggest a conference call to department heads to detail every action item and how they will affect their teams.

Should executive management prefer, Trusted Visions can arrange travel for face-to-face meetings with managers to better detail action items and how to present them to staff.

 

Implementation

With manager contact information on hand, Trusted Visions remains in constant contact to guide in the implementation of suggested corrective measures.  We are always available when necessary and can make suggestions for alternate methods of change.
