A natural extension of the training and coaching services of API is from individual effectiveness to organizational effectiveness. Typical of the consulting engagements requested of and pursued by API are organizational challenges related to the following topics:

• Collaboration within teams or multi-functional projects
• Achieving organizational growth as a result of change
• Establishing organizational identity (vision, mission, values)
• Translating strategic plans into action
• Organizational goal-setting
• Creating a sense of urgency
• Communicating vision and gaining organizational buy-in
• Creating a balance between strategic clarity and operational effectiveness
• Preparing and administering a 360°; feedback program
• Organizational assessment of strengths/weaknesses and resource needs analysis
• Meeting (then) exceeding customer expectations
• Facilitating company retreats or meetings focuses on specific business objectives
• Strategies for achieving a desired company culture

Regardless of the topical area of consulting focus, API works closely with the individual(s) responsible for the organizational improvement outcomes to clarify needs, outline alternate approaches, and define desired results, prior to the onset of the engagement. All deliverables related to the consulting engagement are prepared and delivered in an agreed-upon format and on a timeline that has been previously determined.

Similar to coaching, each consulting engagement is unique, in terms of the financial, operational, geographic and optimal duration considerations that compose the organization's climate at the time of the engagement. API's reputation is built upon our flexibility and adaptability to these considerations.
