Culture Change and Organizational Design

The days of “silo-based” project management are over. Most organizations today need people to work together across many traditional boundaries: Different departments. Different skill areas. Different backgrounds. Different levels of seniority.

Often, these large organizational changes require changes in culture to be effective. We’ve helped organizations succeed on a wide range of culture change projects, from small internal reorganizations to multi-million-dollar construction contracts.

Trust and Teamwork

Building trust and teamwork in a changing environment can be a challenge. That's why we offer customized workshops and ongoing support services designed to bring your team or partner organizations together to create a culture for lasting achievement.

Sometimes teams get stuck by focusing a particular problem without looking toward the longer term. This can cause huge frustration, short-term focus, and high levels of burnout. We help teams get unstuck by clarifying their purpose, defining the scope, and realigning short-term results with long-term goals.

Large Group Facilitation

If your goal is to engage large groups or your entire organization in a shared session, allow Dams & Associates to demonstrate how we have helped organizations manage planning sessions with over 120 participants. Using instructional design techniques allows us to achieve maximum participant interaction and create valuable results.

Fresh Insights

"Regular meetings with a facilitator or other advisor will help you take a step back from day-to-day operations and look critically at how the board is functioning and how well the organization is fullfilling its mission. A professional can address burn-out and other issues that executive directors face, bring objectivity to a board retreat, and provide fresh insights."
