Center for Management Consulting
The Breckenridge Institute® is a management consulting firm that focuses on helping clients get better results through diagnosis. Like a medical doctor who uses precision instruments and expertise to improve a patient’s health, an Organizational Physician™ uses validated assessment tools and extensive expertise in OD to improve an organization’s performance. Sustainable results don’t come from the back of an envelope or band-aide solutions. Rather, managers need fact-based decision-making using scientific analytics and diagnosis, not just business experience and intuition. While the most powerful learning comes from direct experience, most managers don’t directly experience the long-term consequences of their key decisions because they have a system-wide effect that spans multiple departments and may impact an organization’s day-to-day operations (positively or negatively) for years to come. The inability of most people to directly experience the long-term systemic consequences of their most important decisions is the primary reason why most people don’t learn from experience, especially when the consequences of a decision are separated from the cause by more than one-to-two years. The Breckenridge Institute’s portfolio of validated on-line assessments gives managers the tools, methodologies, and quantitative information they need to make informed decisions and get the results they want. Since 1995, Breckenridge Institute’s staff of technical and business professionals has been providing the highest levels of service, competence, quality, and value to clients by combining our expertise in actually improving organizational and individual performance, with our portfolio of research-based methodologies and validated assessment tools in the role of an Organizational Physician™. The Institute has experience in the areas of high-tech, R&D, basic research, pharmaceuticals, health care, retail, commercial construction, and resort management, as well as government-funded research in the National Labs, and non-profit organizations. The Breckenridge Institute® uses its extensive expertise in OD to help clients get better results in the areas of financial management, operations, people, and enterprise-wide systems.

The following is a partial client list. McAfee Client Endorsements “Mark Bodnarczuk of the Breckenridge Institute facilitated organizational design and planning sessions that unlocked the real issues of our organization allowing us to provide meaningful solutions resulting in cost savings over $2M. In addition, the independent verification and validation efforts by the Breckenridge Institute provided valuable insight and recommendations. Mark’s integrity, character, and ideals deliver superior quality backed by a solid reputation.” Charlie Stone “My company has retained the Breckenridge Institute several times over the last 12 years and in each instance we have been more than satisfied with the results. The Institute’s approach to organizational strategies is powerful and enlightening - a must for any business or organization that wants to better understand how they are presently operating or to operate at a higher level. They helped our senior managers build a powerful team that truly understands what it means to be philosophically aligned, on the same page, or as Jim Collins puts it, to be on the same bus. Whether it was positively managing conflict, understanding personality types or executive coaching, the Institute brought a level of commitment and passion to their work with us and helped TCD to grow and prosper using the timeless principles of excellence.” Rick Brodie, President, TCD, Inc “AIHA contracted with the Breckenridge Institute to conduct a cultural analysis of AIHA in advance of developing a new organization strategic plan. Mark has a deep understanding of the importance of culture in an organization's long-term success and applies not only generally accepted business knowledge to the process but his own experience as well.” Peter O’Neil, Executive Director, American Industrial Hygiene Association “Mark Bodnarczuk knows and understands both people and organizations across multiple disciplines and industries. He can quickly assess strengths and weaknesses and will design a short focused program to bring enhanced interactions and transformational change to recalcitrant organizations.” Mark Finkelstein, Vice President of Biosciences, Luca Technologies Inc. "Mark Bodnarczuk at the Breckenridge Institute has a keen ability to assess the strengths of highly technical individuals and to leverage those talents in a multifaceted, professional organization. He is an outstanding facilitator of complex meetings and is terrific in identifying the critical underlying issues that are the real source of the organizational problems. His use of personality type as the basis for recognizing and solving critical workplace conflicts leads to the creation of an energized, productive work environment. Mark has a deep personal commitment to me as a customer and to adding value to our organization." Paul Seligman, MD, MPH, Director of the Office of Pharmacoepidemiology and Statistical Science, U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “I have been involved with the Breckenridge Institute in a multi-year effort to achieve major transformation at the U.S. Government’s only operating oil field, the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center. Although the price of oil had led to increasing demands by industry and government for access to a real-world environment for evaluating new energy technologies, we were finding that old schisms were making it all but impossible to rise to new business opportunities. We had tried a number of consultants and techniques to improve but nothing seemed to help for more than a few days. Mark convinced us that a much greater and more sustained effort was required to achieve the kind of makeover we wanted. This led to the most sophisticated and effective change process I have experienced in 35 years as a manager. It is hard, now, to imagine how we were able to function at all, much less achieve desired changes, without benefit of the insights, training, and tools he provided for using human behavior principles to achieve desired business outcomes. I cannot over-state the value of services offered by the Breckenridge Institute.” Jim B. States, PhD “Following a broad institutional reorganization, I engaged Mark Bodnarczuk of the Breckenridge Institute to assess the resulting organizational issues in my Division. Mark’s science background along with his understanding of individual human behavior in scientific organizations enabled him to get quickly to the heart of the organizational conflict. He understood the personalities involved and facilitated communication in a way that diffused charged issues and focused on opportunities for change. Mark presented his findings and recommendations to our Division in an engaging manner that delivered difficult messages effectively and promoted an improved culture of respect and teamwork. In addition, Mark is also a very talented leadership coach. His guidance and advice have enabled me to become a more effective leader as a Division Director and in my subsequent executive positions.” Faye C. Austin, PhD “Mark provides a brilliant analysis of organizational culture and he has profound insights into the drivers of human personality. Together, looking at the psychology of the individual and the organization, Mark gives a rare and unique lens on how to approach change to improve the quality of performance and personal fulfillment.” Roger Pearman, Founder/President, Leadership Performance Systems “Mark Bodnarczuk provided our association with a last minute rescue to a summer planning session. He quickly understood our history, our processes and our needs. Mark stepped in and guided us through a difficult discussion and kept us on task with the goals always in mind. Easy to work with, Mark brought a refreshing view to how we manage an association.” Cathy Cole, President, AIHA “Our organization has worked with the Breckenridge Institute on understanding the value of organizational culture in accomplishing better business results. He has always delivered agreed upon desired outcomes on time and on budget. Activities have included team building exercises and assessments, individual coaching, and selection/personality on-line testing and interpretation. I highly recommend them for any culture/OD needs.” John Power, HR Director, Town of Vail “As a senior manager, I’ve always believed that self-development is an important part of professional development. Over the years, I’ve read many books, taken numerous seminars, and participated in various coaching exercises, but the Breckenridge Institute’s approach to executive coaching has helped me the most! Real growth can be obtained only through true self-discovery and Mark Bodnarczuk helped me reach new levels of self-awareness. No other process went this deep. It’s had a positive impact on my professional life by making me a more confident and effective leader and by giving me a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in my work.” Jim Tarpinion “Mark Bodnarczuk and the Breckenridge Institute possess unique talents that are virtually unattainable elsewhere. My firm was retained to provide a culture assessment and change management plan for the prime contractor managing one of the Department of Energy’s premier National Laboratories. I invited Mark and his firm to collaborate with us on the project. His contributions to the project were exceptional - - insightful, intuitive and very much on target with a keen sense of understanding client dynamics within the executive ranks. We have the good fortune of continuing to work with Mark and the Breckenridge Institute, as they are a pleasure to work with and have delivered consistently great results.” David Ralston, Co-Founder & CEO, The KeySource Group Inc. “As the Managing Broker, I felt I needed to bring the Breckenridge Institute in because our business was feeling some growing pains as we became more successful. They were able to work with all of us on the levels we needed, support me in making decisions, keep us on top of our business, and give us the tools we needed to stay in that position. We were able to find the root causes of our company’s issues, get them to the surface, and then create a consensus with our group to make forward thinking decisions to positively affect how our business operates. Because of the Institute’s work with us, our partnership has developed better communication skills and a more team-oriented approach to how we do business. I truly would recommend the Breckenridge Institute to any organization whether you are just starting out or whether you have been in business for a long time. They will truly take you to the next level in your field.” Lisa Bova “The Breckenridge Institute was engaged to help Pacific Health Research Institute (PHRI) restructure and reorganize the Institute during the early phases of a difficult merger of two “Mom & Pop“ research organizations with very different cultures. They identified and sorted out the critical underlying organizational issues and problems that facilitated this process. The firm demonstrated an ability to facilitate difficult and complex meetings with individuals and groups representing a variety of disciplines. Their expertise in the tools of organizational development and ability to apply them to a scientific environment allowed us to rapidly develop and implement a sophisticated and successful business model. As a result PHRI's annual research awards increased by a factor of five over an eight-year period. Throughout the process the Breckenridge Institute demonstrated a high level of responsiveness and commitment to PHRI and its management.” J. David Curb, MD, MPH Personality in Context®
