Farrier & Associates

Farrier & Associates

Farrier & Associates is a management consulting firm that for
the past 10 years has focused on staff development and
organizational alignment to assist our clients in optimizing
performance and realizing their full potential.

Our expertise has proven successes in assisting companies in
realizing and bringing to life the synergies in mergers,
acquisitions, reorganization, and other change initiatives. We
enable organizations and individuals to view change as an ally,
not an enemy and, in the process assist them in developing
creative, unique and sustainable competitive advantage.

We link skill development to deeper levels of personal and
organizational awareness to ensure that training becomes
learning and performance improvement is transferable,
supportable and sustainable. Our specialty is in designing and
delivering cost effective professional development and
organizational learning programs that integrate personally
meaningful and organizationally relevant skills and behaviours.

The basis of our programs is the belief that it is people, not
systems, that bring about change and innovation. At the same
time, people work within systems. Personal beliefs and values
shape behaviour and organizational cultures and create a further
context within which the expression of certain behaviours
(cultural norms) are shaped.

Recognizing that people and systems interface, we have developed
a unique and innovative cultural simulation that creates the ah
ha experience necessary to develop personal awareness and an
understanding of the organizational climate and its impact on
performance. We specialize in designing and delivering
customized training and organization development (OD) solutions
that leverage these personal insights and effectively integrate
cultural and individual awareness with key experiential learning
points to bring about impactful and sustainable behaviour
change.
