NOTE. Free 30 Minute Initial Consults Now Available.
OWLS has provided a range of organizational consulting and wellness design services since 1990 for a wide variety of clients. Our approach is based in a process-consulting philosophy, with the goal of empowering each client to own any innovation, insight, or program that emerges from the consultation.
In this way, OWLS focuses more on helping to foster positive change that works for the client rather than suggest a particular or pre-fabricated solution. We often partner with clients and use a three-phased approach, working in any or all three phases:
1) Discovery: review needs, interests, climate, culture, and current offerings, benefits, initiatives
2) Design/Customize: based on the discovery, OWLS will suggest design options for programs or incorporate features from our own suite of tools
3) Implementation: following from the previous phases we offer research reports, white papers, classroom training, training-of-trainers, or e-learning implementations
Below is a list of some consultation projects we have completed. Please contact us to help you find the right tools for your vision!
