Company Overview

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.
