We are a management and human capital consultancy specializing in performance improvement and culture transformation to drive bottom-line growth. Our consultants, all seasoned practitioners, partner with you to develop and implement effective, efficient and sustainable change that will deliver growth for years to come – without the on-going need for external support. Indeed, our approach and practice is to enable our clients to build on their strengths and develop the necessary skills to be their own change agents, continuously improving their organization’s performance long after we’ve departed. Imagine that. A consulting firm that does not move in but, instead, teaches, builds internal capabilities, transfers project leadership and leaves graciously. Our guiding principle: Sustained change works best when driven from within.
Our partnership with KaN Associates, an India-based process design and technology firm, enables us to bring a wealth of experience, a history of success, a global perspective, and an ability to deliver the most challenging projects in a fraction of the time given that our U.S.- and India-based operations provide true round-the-clock service.
With consultants in the San Francisco Bay Area, Denver, Houston, and a team in Hyderabad and Mumbai, India, we have helped organizations grapple with and solve long-standing, complex business and people issues. Indeed, our consultants have:
Worked in the boardroom as both executives of global corporations and as consultants to the nation’s leading enterprises
Deep expertise across industries, serving those in: aviation, consumer products, financial services, media/entertainment, power, technology, transportation, water, and wine
The expertise and patience required to work effectively with family-owned companies of all sizes, and

We transform businesses — people, behaviors, processes and organization structures — to help sustain growth. The challenges of sustaining profitable growth for an industry leader require great judgment and focus with a nimbleness and fluidity to explore new and better ways to outperform the competition. We help make this happen. Quickly and efficiently. We build cultures that adapt to change, enhance the development of innovative solutions, seek to improve continuously and produce measurable performance gains. Long after we’ve left.
We build leaders capable of motivating, developing and inspiring others to achieve superior results. We define ‘leadership’ as the ability to produce superior results through people. Curiously, common sense about developing effective leaders is not common practice. Successful businesses need a strong pipeline of outstanding leaders – from all levels of the organization – if long-term, sustainable growth is a key to the business. We build effective leaders who inspire others to produce outstanding results. Because it’s hard to win without leadership.
We build teams that deliver superior results, dazzle customers and outperform the competition. Highly effective teams produce outstanding results and, in turn, drive successful organizations. We have studied and worked with hundreds of teams in a wide array of industries. We know how to build sustainably effective teams that are able to produce superior results well into the future. That’s what winning is about. We are passionate about building teams and we’re told it shows.
We help admin functions become real players in the business. For companies to be successful long term, HR, Finance and IT must be able to help drive profitable growth. All have the capacity to lead change, equip the business for growth and increase efficiency. Unfortunately, few demonstrate it. We have worked in admin functions that are high on the dreaded ‘Admin Scale’ and in functions that are high on the more desirable ‘Strategy & Impact Scale.’ We much prefer the latter and know how to get support functions there. Despite years of history that would suggest otherwise, admin functions can, indeed, add strategic and bottom-line value to an organization. And we can prove it.
We partner with Boards of Directors to improve their ability to govern and to lead. Effective leadership has never been more urgently needed. Boards that set clear priorities, have truly candid conversations and create accountability for performance are those that guide long-term growth. We have served on Boards and know how to build a Board into a truly effective governance body.
Changing companies need to relook at their approach (or lack of) to technology and digital strategies. We help companies become digital - with their customers, their people. Experience being at the core, we align patterns and behaviors to significant technology-supported impact. From designing customer experience tech ecosystem to enterprise mobile apps to agile learning solutions, we have learned one thing: companies going digital is not an option any more. Your customers and people just want it!
FUSION taps the knowledge, insight and expertise that exist within every organization to create bold recommendations for dramatic and sustainable performance gains.
It is a controlled, contained, step-wise reaction requiring an exacting process and expert facilitation. A quantum leap from typical OD processes,
Why do some succeed and others fail? Why do only some reach their personal and professional goals while many are willing to settle for less? What causes some to win and others to fall short? Is it superior skill? High effort? Luck? An unquenchable thirst to succeed? An unwillingness to fail?
This fast-paced, highly interactive, entertaining and compelling workshop will answer these questions and consider other topics central to the topic of success. You’ll be introduced to some who have achieved and others who haven’t. You’ll explore first-hand a theory called ‘Capacity for Success.’ You’ll learn that ‘success’ has many meanings and implications. Most importantly, you may discover something important about yourself and, just possibly, how to be more fulfilled in both your professional and personal lives. This workshop has changed lives; it might change yours.
