developing strong organizations

Fifth Avenue Counseling & Consulting provides clients with organizational consulting, executive coaching, leadership and team development, needs assessment, meeting facilitation, and Hogan Assessment interpretation.

Our mission is to help clients achieve their individual and organizational performance goals. These usually include improved teamwork and communication, successful hiring practices and leadership development, and excellence in succession planning.

We are guided in our daily work and client interactions by two decades of real business and management experience. As such, we recognize the importance of producing measurable improvements and creating independence for our client companies. This model saves you money, eliminates long-term expensive consulting fees, and is a proven method for delivering results.

organizational development

The primary focus of our organizational development strategy is to strengthen the alignment between your organizational practices and your business goals. We approach OD strategically, beginning with a systematic analysis of programs, processes, policies, roles and responsibilities. The initial needs assessment results in a targeted and cost effective program to improve organizational effectiveness.

The three primary elements of your organization–the individuals, the teams, and the organization–are considered as a whole as work is planned. We also keep in mind your organizational climate and culture, as well as expense and return on your investment. Our clients expect OD work to be implemented in a way that enhances daily productivity and effectiveness, rather than getting in the way. We agree.

team development

The foundation of our success in team development has been to move the individuals of a team from reactive to proactive. The main goals of team development are 1) establish trust among the individuals, 2) realign individual, group, and organizational goals so that all team members strive daily to reach the common goals of the team, and 3) improve productivity by working with the team to ensure that meetings and activities are thoughtful, action-based, and focused on bottom-line results.

assessment tools

The primary assessment tool we utilize for organizational development, coaching, team development, executive selection, and succession planning is the Hogan Assessment System, for which we are a certified consultant. Depending on individual client needs and budget, we may also utilize one or more of the following: Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Disc@, Leadership Architect Competency Sort Cards, VIA Strengths Survey, and the Campbell Interest Inventory.
