Center
for Business-to-Business Consulting
Areas of Experise
The Institute’s Center for Business-to-Business Consulting
has expertise in Global Organization Design and seven traditional areas of organization development
shown below, but views them as “windows” into the
underlying patterns of organizational culture.
- Organizational Architecture
- Operations
- Business Strategy
- IT Infrastructure
- Advanced Analytics
- Financial Management
- Human Performance Improvement
For example, careful analysis of Organizational
Architecture can reveal what key leaders and managers believe
about having the right people work together on the right
tasks to get the results they want. It may also reveal
basic cultural beliefs about what it takes to be successful
in a given industry. Analysis of an organization’s operations and policies in areas
such as job descriptions, lines of authority, travel and leave,
succession management, and compensation can yield valuable
insights into what the corporate culture encourages and discourages.
Or finally, analysis of gaps between the formal (written) rules
of the game for how things are done and the informal (unwritten)
rules for how things “really” get done, often indicate
what a corporate culture teaches leaders, managers, and staff
members to value, how they should behave and work,
and where they should focus their time and energy.
The Harnessing Process™
Typically, in-house practitioners and external
consultants develop a strong preference for specific approaches
to organization development then use only those approaches
with their clients. The Breckenridge Institute adopts a very
different approach. We carefully evaluate a client’s
circumstances using the Harnessing Process™ (shown above) then
only recommends the methods, tools, and intervention techniques
that will address that client’s unique needs and get
the results they want. The goal is to use this process to teach
leaders and managers how to harness the invisible power of
organizational culture by raising ineffective operations
back into organizational consciousness, reconfiguring them
for more effective performance, and then migrating them
back to automatic operations that produce the desired results.
