CLA offers individuals and organizations a new, dynamic model of leadership for a changing world.  We help them build their leadership capacity and accelerate their ability to respond effectively to change.

What will be different after working with CLA

After working with CLA in a comprehensive and ongoing relationship, an organization can expect to have

1. Made progress on intractable business challenges;
2. Developed individual leadership capacities; and
3. Created a culture of collaboratively tackling the most difficult and stuck adaptive challenges. 

More specifically, participants and work teams will have internalized and developed a shared framework for change. They will be able to skillfully use a portfolio of tools and skills, define core business practices and run smart, disciplined experiments to create the organization of tomorrow.  Additionally, peer consulting norms will have been developed, barriers to progress identified and previously forbidden topics will have been brought into the public forum.  Progress in service of an organization’s mission can only be made by taking smart risks more frequently.  CLA builds the will and skill for these efforts.

CLA offers

• An easily understood way to identify the underlying issues that prevent individuals and their organizations from achieving their goals;
• A way to exercise leadership based on skills and behaviors anyone can learn;
• New understanding of what happens in organizations that must change to survive; and
• Hands-on support in leading people from vulnerable and entrenched positions to new ways of thinking and acting.

CLA offers a personal, action-oriented consulting relationship.

• We work directly with people in the context of their own change issues. These are the deep-seated problems that cause conflict and prevent progress.
• We focus on implementing rather than creating strategies and reports.  We are process oriented.
• Virtually all of our programs are customized to meet specific client needs.

CLA offers the opportunity to build personal and organizational leadership capacity, to create a culture that can accommodate conflict, is capable of change and confident in its ability to focus on and attain its most cherished goals.

How CLA delivers impact

CLA delivers a framework, skills and tools for leading change and then works in parallel to integrate these into both current organizational practices/culture and individual capacities. We have learned that you can’t change organizations or communities without changing the behaviors, hearts and minds of the people inside. As a result, CLA has developed a unique methodology called Case-in-Point™ that works real business challenges in real time, ensuring that the dedicated time and resources result in tangible and focused organizational and personal change.
