Strategic Advisory Support

The demands of running a successful organization can devour leaders’ time. That leaves them little margin for one-off, internal projects such as strategic planning, communication campaigns, or organizational design. Most of them would prefer to keep one hand on the steering wheel while staying out of the more time-costly elements of those endeavors.

ELG can help. With expertise and decades of experience in such projects, ELG works collegially with leaders, maintaining their engagement, while removing most of the burden of designing, launching, and facilitating such projects.

In military parlance, this is “surge support” – meaning: you’ve got power in reserve when you need it.

Leadership Development

Much “leadership development” leaves participants with enriched thinking, but not enriched abilities: their new thinking does not show up on the job.

Through classes, courses, and one-on-one coaching, ELG is all about Building Natural Leaders™, our approach to helping up-andcoming leaders and other high potential employees master sophisticated leadership and management skills that show up on the job – and do so naturally. Through practice, participation, and superb instructional design, we ensure that participants and their organizations come away winners.

Targeted Cultural Assessment

Patterns of belief and behavior – cultural issues – affect organizational success. Such issues can range from inter-organizational collaboration and innovation to, safety, sexual harassment, sales, customer service, and much more. “More training” and “better communication” rarely suffice. ELG assesses an organization’s systemic performance drivers and recommends actionable steps that will move the culture in a better direction and keep it on that vector.

ELG has an advantage on this front: All ELG’s work is about the human behavior side of organizational performance. It is the thread that runs through all that we do.

Video Q&A about our book, Executive Smarts

For decades, we’ve served senior teams and their organizations

Here's what they've had to say:

[ELG’s strategy alignment process] is a uniquely effective system for strategy implementation. We’ve never had so much clarity about the work we need to be doing. We have also never been so certain that all work being done supports corporate goals. It has given us the focus and discipline we need to get us where we need to go.

CD Hobbs
CEO
SPL WorldGroup

ELG’s strategy alignment process has helped my team create a level of clarity and focus on business results that has repaid our investment in time and money many times over.

Bob Wenner
VP Design Engineering
Seagate Technology

ELG’s strategy alignment did, indeed, help align my senior leadership team. It provided a very effective forum for helping our execs gain a more in-depth understanding of our strategy and the interrelationships between different parts of the organization. We left the meeting with a clear sense of how each management team member’s objectives need to relate to accomplishing our overall goals.

Jim Senn
President
ING Re

My organization is now better focused on precisely the right results, not just the actions that we need to do to get there. This focus and the plans that support it put us miles ahead of our competitors.

Lisa Kunz
AVP
St Paul Companies

Over the years, I have been impressed with ELG’s understanding of how to help organizations get things done – through strategy alignment, project management or on major initiatives. They were able to work well with me and with all levels of my organization and always demonstrated a high level of skill, business knowledge and integrity.

Executive in Residence
University of Colorado at Denver College of Business

By working with ELG’s strategy alignment process methodology, the Marketing and Sales organization has finally reached a level of strategy-tactic linkage and accountability that we have been striving for over the last 18 months. As you know, your work has been a critical component in helping us build an infrastructure to move from an entrepreneurial startup to a high growth organization.

Susan Schaefer
Sr. Vice President
Qwest Wireless

ELG’s project management training has helped us understand all the basics — plus organizational factors — that affect project success. The result has been many more projects coming in on time, on budget, and on spec.

Robb Mankin
Director
Seagate Technology

It was my good fortune to learn ELG’s approach to project and program management. The concepts concerning accountability, leadership, change management, and project management driven by measures of performance (Whole Goals™), are relevant, critical, and are applied by my team and me on a daily basis. I would encourage any individual or organization to give these principles a detailed look.
