Revisit Organizational Mission and Processes after Covid-19

Koko Sims, Program Coordinator Tony's Place

I met Kris when she facilitated a retreat for an organization of which I'm also involved. The organization has had residual Covid-19 challenges and needed to take a step back to revisit the mission/vision as well as redefine and reassign almost all operational processes and procedures. I was definitely not happy about having to attend a work retreat on a Saturday, but the energy of the presenters kept me engaged. We have a second retreat in the fall, and I hope the organization chooses Kris and her team again!

Are you looking to revitalize your organization's vision and processes?  Consider booking Kris and her team for a transformative retreat experience.

AL AMADO
Al Amado Chairman and founding member of the Tony’s Place Board

Kris is extremely knowledgeable about the stages of organizations and how to help them. She volunteered her time to help our start-up nonprofit and was a tremendous benefit to our development. She was able to quickly focus on our needs through her interviews with members of the team. She then translated that into exercises at a retreat, which she facilitated to help us land on our next steps. The process was very beneficial in identifying challenges and needs, as well as how to overcome them and fill them. An excellent process that we truly could not have done without her expertise and guidance. Highly recommend it for an organization at any stage, whether to fine-tune or to identify missing processes and procedures and areas for improvement and development.


Contact Kris today to benefit from her expert guidance and proven process. Whether you need to fine-tune your current processes or identify missing procedures, Kris can help you overcome challenges and develop strategies for success.

It is my pleasure to recommend Dr. Lea. While we brought her on for OCM expertise, she has also been functioning as the Project Manager (PM) for this very large and complex re-organization. I would recommend her as one of the best consultants I have had the pleasure of working with. Dr. Lea has consistently demonstrated her expertise and abilities in these areas through exceptionally well-researched practices and approaches that she has applied in our re-organization effort. Her skills and expertise have ensured our staff have a voice in this process, that our leadership team is aware of concerns and issues timely and are able to resolve them quickly, and that we approach the re-organization in an organized, transparent, and efficient manner.

Dr. Lea has been invaluable in moving the re-organization forward while also providing valuable forums and forms of communication to all areas of DHCS impacted by the re-organization. She has developed timelines and project plans; conducted staff interviews and surveys; developed critical communications, such as the EDIM Insights; organized, planned, and facilitated town hall meetings and a Welcome Program; and developed an ambassador program to support smooth transitions of teams. Dr. Lea is very professional and has excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Based on her performance in our organization I am confident she would be an excellent asset to such efforts in other organizations.

Don't let re-organizations cause chaos and confusion in your organization. Let Dr. Lea's expertise guide you through the process.

Dr. Lea’s calm and reassuring manner complemented her complex understanding and experience to clearly identify problem solving measures and solutions while providing encouragement and focus on the ultimate project goals, proved to provide significant benefit as observed by the staff behaviors and feedback.

The importance of these skills often do not receive the level of attention and recognition from leadership who must focus on strategic direction and goals. However, without universal understanding for the context and application of the strategic goals at the individual staff level, many struggle to adjust and assimilate to the demands of change and uncertainty. Dr. Lea brought the EDIM Program stability and comfort during a tumultuous and challenging time.
