Legvold Consulting

Every project starts with a thorough Assessment, whether it be an individual for selection or development, a team, or an entire organization or system.

Depending on the assignment and goals, we may utilize data collection types ranging from industry standard individual and team assessments to personal interviews, anonymous surveys as well as direct observational data. Assessments often occur on multiple levels, each layer representing a different system, for example a family owned business has a company structure, but also a family structure. Companies in multiple countries have a company system and structure, with multiple overlapping cultures that need to be factored into any potential solution to succeed.

The more we know about the situation through accumulating data, the better picture it provides. The clearer the picture, the more focused and impactful any program or intervention will be.

This initial phase is key, and sets the standard for everything that follows.

We then leverage Learning based on the collected data to discover what insights it reveals, and align these with company goals, culture, and values, as well as the overall market.

This tells us what we've learned from the assessments, and how to best use that information to make changes in the right places and in the right manner to maximize the effectiveness of any program we develop.

All the insights gained from the assessment are Integrated into creating our master action plan to effectuate the change that will provide the desired results.

We develop the plan jointly to ensure stakeholder buy-in, alignment, and that we've anticipated and planned for any potential pitfalls or derailleurs along the way.

Whether we use ready-made off-the-shelf solutions or develop something tailor made for your specific needs, you can be sure that using our evidence-based data-driven approach will result in measurable value creation.

Go! Now we execute on the plan, generating energy, momentum and skills required to successfully navigate the change to a better state - and stay there!

Whether it be developing your next generation of senior leadership, ensuring geographically spread parts of the organization work smoothly, efficiently, and in alignment with each other, implementing new technology or organizational structure, or combining companies as part of an M&A process, we see the plan through so that you are in a better position to meet the needs of your customers and stakeholders moving forward.

At the end of this phase we will evaluate our progress, identify any remaining areas needing attention, and ensure that there is a follow-up plan to maintain the new state.

Nourish, periodic check-ins to reinforce learning and new behaviors, as well as to identify potential next steps.

Change, on any level, is not an event, but rather a process. There are ways to accelerate it, but like a garden it needs the proper soil, light, water and nutrients to thrive and continue growing, as well as the time and space to do so.

We strive to ensure the positive changes resulting from our work carries on and becomes part of the culture of the organization.
