The Springboard Consulting Model

The most experienced leaders understand the value of gaining objective insight into perceptions and beliefs of employees throughout their organizations. Springboard’s partners have wide-ranging experience as global business leaders and problem solvers, and are adept at identifying and quantifying disconnects between the C-suite and your workforce. With deep experience as cross cultural facilitators, researchers and executive coaches, we serve as trusted advisors guiding senior management teams on how to develop cross cultural leadership to drive profitability and global competitiveness.  Springboard employs a proprietary consulting model to guide senior management in achieving leadership, culture, and organizational goals.

Assessing corporate culture to unlock the value of values

• What drives business success, and how can it be replicated across new ventures, operations or geographies?
• What aspects of the culture support or hinder retention of senior women and underrepresented minorities?
• How do we combine corporate cultures and maximize success in a merger or acquisition situation?

These are some of the management challenges our clients have asked us to assess and help them resolve. The Springboard Culture Assessment, like a 360° assessment for your organization is the critical first step to identify the hidden and sometimes contradictory beliefs and values of an organization that drive the day-to-day actions taken by leaders and their management teams. Springboard has a proprietary six-sigma-based assessment model that quantifies interview data to identify how companies conduct business, build leaders, and serve their customers.  Finally, we present confidential interview data in multiples ways including charts and graphs that business and HR leaders resonate with.

Culture Assessment Case Studies

Fortune 50 Financial Services Company

Springboard consulted with the CEO and senior executives on increasing the representation of women at the most senior levels of the organization. Through one-on-one interviews of the top executives, focus groups of other senior leaders and our proprietary assessment process, Springboard identified the specific factors in the company’s culture that both positively and negatively impact the promotion and retention of talented women in the organization. Springboard then customized specific programs and executive coaching for individuals and teams to expand their leadership capabilities directed at the retention and promotion of women executives.

Springboard designed a highly customized approach to identifying the drivers of success in this highly successful organization.
