Tailored Solutions for Effective Transitions

Expert Change Management Services

The LEAD Institute works closely with clients to develop the processes for planned and managed change.

We can help you determine how to best manage your transitions and deliver the services that allow you to meet your goals.

Workshops, Training & Education

Our workshops and training help participants interactively explore and define their work culture, assessing the strengths and limitations of how things are done. We have half and full day workshops as well as a more intensive “culture kaizen / workout” which results in robust organizational culture analysis and holistic transformation planning.

Consulting & Planned Change Programs

Our consulting work helps leaders and organizations that have realized they are at a tipping point, a point where the “old” ways of doing things will no longer serve them, a point where significant cultural/climate/engagement change must occur. If your organization must change (preparing for Growth, Transformation, Decline, Reorganization or Merger), then our consulting and planned change can give you the expertise, tools and process to navigate successful transformational change.
