Skalstad Consulting, Inc., Overview
We help clients achieve world-class performance by effectively blending people, processes, and programs into a sustainable competitive advantage. We help our clients look at themselves differently, so they can see the gaps and opportunities for improvement in their business. We then work with our clients to design and implement effective, measurable, and sustainable solutions to take their business to undreamed-of heights.
Skalstad Consulting, Inc., Our Approach
We bring value to your organization by implementing our powerful 4-step methodology:
Assessment & Diagnosis
Initial assessment of key organizational factors is the essential step in improvement. Our assessments encompass people, processes, performance and profitability. We identify core strengths, weaknesses and critical factors as a prelude to developing recommendations for change.
Solution Development & Implementation
Based on our diagnosis, we help our clients select and design solutions that will
leverage strengths and close performance gaps. These improvements may take the form of:
- Training
- Process re-engineering
- Organization/structure interventions
- Organization development programs.
Then, we work with our clients to effectively implement desired changes to ensure maximum results and sustainability.
Results Mapping & Measurement
It is imperative that the organization understands the impacts and the costs of introducing changes. We assist our clients to evaluate training programs and other interventions on both an interim and end-result basis. Using this information, we assess Return on Investment in quantitative and qualitative terms.
Sustainability & Continuous Improvement
Before we implement any intervention, we ensure it is aligned with your organization’s vision and strategic direction. Our methodology allows key stakeholders to clearly identify both the intended and unintended consequences of change. Once an intervention is underway, resistance must be acknowledged and overcome and learnings must be transferred and “institutionalized” to the individuals and groups to sustain results.
Skalstad Consulting, Inc. Consulting Services Capabilities
We drive profits by leveraging your human and intellectual capital to enhance your company’s performance. We do this by offering consulting services in the following areas:
Training
People are the foundation of every organization. People learn, build strategies, innovate, create knowledge, generate energy, and define cultures. We assist organizations in aligning their training strategies and programs to improve the skills and capabilities of their people. We help clients design and deliver training that delivers measured results.
Process Re-engineering
Designing, managing and improving processes, large and small, is critical to maximizing the performance of people and the impact of training. We help our clients understand, assess, strategically align and significantly improve processes.
Organizational Structure
An effective fusion of people and processes is a major determinant of an organization's success and longevity. To be effective, a company’s structure must be optimized at the individual, team, department and organizational level. We work with clients to design the right structures to maximize performance at all levels.
Change Management
Change must be carefully managed in order to ensure improvements of any type are implemented in the most efficient and effective manner possible. We help our clients understand and work with the human factors and resistance that inevitably result when changes are introduced.
Organization Development
Companies are human systems, and all systems require maintenance. Like a machine, the human side of the organization needs periodic attention to function at peak performance. We help our clients build effective teams, plan for managerial succession, improve employee morale, and create the kind of culture needed to optimize business results.
Human Resources Outsourcing
You may not need a fully staffed HR department to provide your employees with the services they deserve (and provide your organization with the oversight and protection it requires.) We provide turnkey solutions in the areas of compensation, benefits, employee relations, policy development, recruitment, and Human Resources systems.
Business, Sales & Marketing Strategic Planning
In today’s tumultuous environment, the ability to envision the future and to create comprehensive plans to get you there represents a critical competitive advantage. Leveraging our industry knowledge and our sales and marketing acumen, we help clients develop and implement plans that move the business forward. We can help you align organizational, departmental and individual goals so everyone is focused on the same target.
New Business Development
Organizations evolve and lines of business change. Often, as a result of strategic planning efforts, a company may see opportunities to acquire or grow new businesses to supplement or replace existing ones. We help clients identify opportunities and assist them in growing new business lines, including negotiations required to bring existing lines into the organization.
New Product Development
New products are the lifeblood of any company. Business conditions change, customer needs shift and products outlive their lifecycles. We help our clients identify where new products are needed and support them through all phases of the product development cycle.
