When an organization is wrestling with roadblocks – such as employee retention or eroding market share – that impede its growth, profitability, or sustainability, Kate Swanson Consulting helps the C-suite discover the root cause of these problems so they can identify and operationalize solutions that best align with mission, vision, and strategic objectives.

During times of change, it can be challenging for executives to determine where to focus the organization and their own efforts. Kate Swanson Consulting understands that the essence of problem solving is prioritizing the largest problems and opportunities and giving more weight to the most effective and streamlined solutions. We help leaders understand the impact, magnitude, and cost of their options around prioritizing: customer and market targeting; addressing customer needs; innovating service; identifying key issues; allocating resources for goals; and streamlining day-to-day activities.

When leaders have chosen a solution that will remove roadblocks to organizational success, we step in to visually and concisely map out the current workflows and processes that show who and what is involved in a process and reveal where improvements should be made and what is needed to produce desired outcomes.

Kate Swanson Consulting makes sure every employee shares a common understanding about the enterprise’s short and long-term initiatives, expectations regarding ways of working, and requirements for complying with key processes. We will leverage our deep experience to help leaders align their organization’s structure to best deliver strategic goals.

A goal without a plan is just a wish. Kate Swanson Consulting helps executives break down their strategic plans into high-level, long-term goals and short-term projects and action steps. Coupled with our guidance around setting priorities and aligning employees around common goals, our services also include helping to garner buy-in on desired outcomes and course-correcting as needed. We link vision to details.

We are skilled facilitators who can help leadership teams uncover issues, crowdsource potential solutions, build consensus, strengthen employee engagement, and create valuable ongoing dialogue through strategic discussions, staff retreats, focus groups, listening sessions, and leader roundtables. We take the input from these sessions and help leaders translate them into actions supported by the mission and strategy of their organization.
