Most leaders and staff in organizations know their craft or service extremely well. Most of us receive training or formal education in a specific career area. What often lacks is support to build individual and organizational capacity to to work effectively by leveraging the strengths and assets of its team.
Have you found that your team is highly skilled, confident, and passionate about their work but at times the cohesion and collective impact is not where you or the team desires? At Forest City Solutions, we have been in this space before - and have helped organizations identify and implement change that is needed internally- in order to fulfill their mission externally.
We facilitate organizational change in a variety of ways while utilizing lessons from methodologies such as Appreciative Inquiry, Intentional Change Theory, and Positive Organizational Development to influence outcomes.
Our facilitation services provide unbiased translation and guidance throughout a change process using active listening, clarifying communication and gentle motivation to move through the task at hand.
We guide organizations through a structured process relying on all stakeholders to identify a common vision, mission, goals and means to measure progress while accounting for the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats present to their vision.
Using evidenced practice, assessment tools and guided discussions we equip teams with the skills to perform effectively together. This includes social-emotional skills, conflict resolutions and working from a strengths based approach to become adept in the face of challenge. Supporting leaders in developing the skills required to lead and manage change effectively is another part of this process.
Through interview, observation and technical support we support organizations leverage their resources to effectively plan, organize and manage projects and teams to successfully prepare for implementation and completion of identified projects.
We work with leaders and teams to shape how policies, commitments, processes, and behaviors align with not only the organizational mission and values but also those of the employees. Wages and benefits only go so far, but cohesive and responsive company culture is what keeps employees engaged and motivated to perform
Alongside our clients and their team, we create metrics to help everyone monitor and measure the success of the change as well as systems to continually assess and improve processes based on feedback and outcomes.
