Organizational Development

Performance Feedback PGF uses a performance feedback system
to assess:
- current effectiveness
- learning needs

Once your managers' and staff's strengths/weaknesses have been
identified, we help them improve via individualized coaching
sessions. Several of the associates are certified in
BenchmarksTM, a 360 feedback instrument that is useful in
evaluating performance and highlighting areas requiring further
skill development.

Strategic Planning - Predicting the future has become more
complex, if not impossible. This does not mean planning has
become obsolete. Quite the contrary. It means that organizations
must adopt a flexible strategic planning approach. PGF can
assist you in your planning so that your managers and staff
remain focused, while allowing you to modify your direction as
circumstances dictate.

Organizational Redesign - The global environment forces
organizations to adapt constantly. Carefully planning the
changes your organization must implement is key to overcoming
inevitable pockets of resistance and ensuring maximum buy-in.

Our people-oriented approach has made us the choice of
organizations who want rational solutions that their people will
support and promote.

Process Design and Facilitation - Do you have a specific
challenge you'd like to address? Do you want to implement a new
system, or way of doing things, but aren't sure how? PGF can
help. We will listen to what you want to accomplish and then
design and facilitate a process that will best achieve your
goals. Some examples of our most recent interventions include:
- development and implementation of competency-based management
tools;
- specific problem-solving interventions;
- risk management;
- capacity building;
as well as many other interventions that could be of
assistance to you
