Assessment
 |
| |
|
Professional:
Romney Associates offers tools, questionnaires, and surveys
to assist people in defining their career preferences, their
psychological type, their work style, managerial competency,
and level of emotional intelligence.
Organizational: We specialize
in Organizational Diagnosis, a strategy for assessing your organization's
functioning in order to solve specific problems or increase
overall organizational effectiveness. Organizational Diagnosis
is often an important first step in successful organizational
development. Just as you would want a physician to diagnose
the cause of your headache before she suggested acetaminophen,
psychotherapy, or brain surgery, it is important to know what
the source of your organizational problems are before you decide
whether training, consultation or coaching is the answer. A
thorough and competent diagnosis can help solve crises, determine
what is going wrong, facilitate organizational change, and serve
as the basis for planning.
Romney Associate's organizational diagnoses
are always tailored to the specific organization with which
we are working. Our consultants will meet with you
to design an assessment that suits your needs. We collect information
in many forms (questionnaires, interviews,
surveys, observation), share the data with you, and make
specific and achievable recommendations for change. Our consultants
have conducted organizational diagnoses on staff morale, intercollegiate
behavior, staff workload, diversity, and cross-sector organizational
functioning.

Diversity
|
| |
|
Diversity
in organizations means not only respecting differences, but
also using differences to enhance organizational competence
and task completion. Romney Associate's consultants will help

Conflict
Resolution
|
| |
|
Conflict
is not always negative. Constructive conflict management can
lead to increased understanding and new innovations. In fact,
the most important question individuals and organizations can
ask is, "What does this conflict tell us about the opportunities
we have to learn and grow?" We help organizations go from
conflict to productive solutions by helping people with opposing
views and fixed positions arrive at mutually agreed upon solutions.
RA specializes in:
|
| |
|
|
|
Mediation:
Mediation is a structured process designed to facilitate

and solutions. |

about issues and realities that divide them. |

Change
Management
|
| |
|
Change
is constant. Organizations, like people, are either growing
or dying. At Romney Associates
we can help you read change, predict it, help your staff work
with it, and your managers lead it. We help you foster change
when change will have a positive impact. Whether the change
your organization is confronting is planned or unplanned, whether
you are working toward incremental change or fundamental, deep
change, we can assist you.
Our specific programs include:

Leadership
Development
|
| |
|
Leadership
is the ability to unite people in pursuit of a common goal.
First and foremost, leaders get things done. Leaders are known
by their accomplishments.
Are you making the most of the leadership potential of your
staff? Do you know how to motivate your staff to work harder
and achieve more? Do you know what your own leadership strengths
are and where you fall short of your own potential? What are
the qualities that enable leaders to accomplish the organization's
vision and mission? How do you know whether or not the people
in positions of authority in your organization are good leaders?
How do you know whom to choose for management and leadership
positions?

Consultation
|
| |
|
The
goal of consultation is to enhance personal competence and organizational
effectiveness. The consultation may focus on development of
a program or project, fixing a particular problem, helping to
create a productive workplace climate or providing knowledge
and skill. RA's consultants work with your organization over
a period of time to diagnosis, plan and implement change.

Coaching
|
| |
|
The
International Coach Federation defines coaching as "an
ongoing relationship between the professional coach and the
client, which focuses on the client taking action toward the
realization of their vision, goals or desires." Coaching
uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the
client's level of awareness and responsibility and provides
the client with structure, support and feedback.
"A coach is a knowledgeable, honest, and supportive guide
who accompanies you on your road to success."
The perfect example, of course, is the athletic coach who helps
the athlete to develop skills to the level of his or her personal
best. When the athlete operates at peak performance, the goal,
(the possibility of earning a spot on the team, winning the
gold, or simply having fun) is likely to be accomplished.
Whether you are near or faraway, whether you want to meet your
coach on-line, by phone, or in person, RA's consultants can
help you:
|
| |
|
|
|
Clarify
the vision of what you really want. |
|
|
Significantly
increase individual performance and satisfaction. |

more effective work relationships. |

Training

At
Romney Associates, we make training an interactive learning
opportunity. Our trainings are specially designed to meet the
particular needs of each organization with whom we work. Most
often our training is part of a longer term consultation, which
allows us to understand the organization and its specific educational
needs so that our programs will be aligned to organizational
objectives and will produce desired outcomes. Our trainings
often come with follow-up coaching to maximize the implementation
of skills learned.
