Research and Organizational Development
San Dimas Community Hospital needed to define the gap between their training curriculum and management behaviors. Garfield Medical Center needed to define the nuances of the diverse cultural perspectives of their patients on its HCAHPS scores. A Maintenance Department in a large Metropolitan School District needed to define why they experienced such deep seated labor problems. Bertolini Inc., needed to define the skills and character of their next sales manager.
In each of these cases Leadership Praxis™ was engaged to design a research project that moved each organization past the anecdotal and toward reliable data that defined their challenge.
Commissioning Leadership Praxis™ to engage in a research project starts with a consultation that outlines the client’s question: is it poor performance, a gap in communication, a gap in process execution, or a perennial breakdown in cross functional collaboration/execution?
In research Leadership Praxis™ provides our clients with empirical feedback about what is really happening in their operation. We often find that our clients struggle with indistinct challenges that as such do not engender specific resolution strategies. When challenges take on the form of empirical or verifiable data solutions are much easier to generate. New market expansion, operational expansion, strategic human resource management, sales analysis, business process analysis or labor relations management all present an opportunity to move form anecdotal misinformation to quantifiable and reliable data.
We employ two approaches to research, qualitative and quantitative depending on the question we are asked to engage.
