How we work:
Consulting:
The Big Picture Perspective is committed to improving organizational
effectiveness, creating strategic excellence and delivering
lasting bottom-line results. To do that we understand your strengths,
issues, your objectives, your markets, your challenges, your
needs, wants and dreams. We have a system of assessments and
processes designed to support organizational effectiveness at
individual, dyad, team, group, division and organizational level.
We have specialized instrumentation for leadership, executive
and team development.
Top Assessments:
- Strategic Assessment
- Market and Competitive Assessments
- Myers Briggs / MBTI and Style Assessments
- 360 Degree Skill and Leadership Assessments
- Culture Assessments
- Team Effectiveness Assessments
- Gestalt and Appreciative Inquiry Assessments
- Leadership Paradox Assessments
Our consulting services include research, facilitation, employee
communications, HR and IT integration and other organizational
effectiveness interventions which help organizations be in the
moment, be focused on what is most important, and achieve the
highest levels of organizational effectiveness. Our processes
are designed to create the safety to explore shifting the status
quo and speak the unspeakable.
Facilitation:
While The Big Picture Perspective has a huge reservoir of expertise
in subjects ranging from health care economics to high tech
product marketing, our mode of consulting, training and coaching
tends to be facilitative, as opposed to expertise based. We
have learned by working with clients that when they develop
their own processes, their results are self-sustaining long
after we leave. We do not want to encourage dependence. We facilitate
board retreats, new product brainstorming sessions, strategy
sessions and large-scale change processes among others. We also
facilitate structured team and simulation experiences.
Keynotes, Professional
Speaking:
Company meetings, sales meetings, annual conferences present
ideal opportunities to introduce new ideas, new processes, new
paradigms. We often do keynotes on leadership and team performance,
strategic excellence and industry futures and change, which
serve to catalyze organizational shifts in behavior.

- Embracing the Power of Teams: Unleash the Potential of Collaboration
- Future Focus 2020: Trends and Tips for Strategic Change

Advantage

- Healing Diversity Initiatives: A Kinder Approach to Peak
Performance
- Who Moved The Beef? A Parable for Change
Training:
Seminars, workshops and trainings are used extensively to
move ideas from the boardroom throughout the entire organization.
Informal management communications are often necessary, but
not enough to create the changes executive teams desire to move
their performance to the next level. Training is done in the
context of the big picture.
Popular Training Offerings:
- Paradox Leadership Development Workshop
- Mini-MBA: Management Skills for Techies
- Myers-Briggs, Style and Communication
- Who Moved the Beef: Change Workshop
- The Last Legal Discrimination Workshop
Coaching:
While many people learn fine with training, or group experiences,
many folks need the support of one-on-one coaching. We work
with executives, dyads and teams on specific areas of improvement.
Our work is driven by individual and team assessments and aligned
with strategic objectives.
