Organizational development consulting driven by your needs and goals
The goal of organizational development consulting at Professional Growth Systems is real performance improvement for your organization. Everything we do is directed at that goal.
We understand the common problems that most organizations face, but we also listen to you until we fully understand the particular challenges of your unique organization.
We believe that the knowledge that drives your success lies with you and your own employee group. Our expertise lies in extracting, organizing, and helping you put that knowledge to use. We use time-proven and metrics-driven processes to do just that.
“Our chief want in life is someone who will make us do what we can.”
— Emerson
And we guarantee your success with our tools
Together with your organizational development consultant, you will outline your specific goals as well as the key components of our working relationship with you. This is a critical step, so that together we can meet the challenges of change and growth head on, and eventually see your organization realize its goals.
The commitment behind the promise
More than a combined 55 years of consulting experience has taught us that making certain commitments is vital — for you and for us. They include:
- We will respect your knowledge of your business.
- We will respect your time, and we will design our work to optimize the time we spend with your employees.
- We will guarantee to add value to your business, to work with you to achieve your goals.
- We will follow through to assess progress and problem-solve each step of the way. You won’t be left not knowing how to use the tools we have given you, nor will you be wondering whether or not you’ll get the results you want.
- We will take on only those client needs we are certain we can fulfill.
- We will deliver the products from our sessions while we’re still on site (if possible), or as quickly as possible, so you can go to work in a new way, right away.
- We will continually research and develop new tools to improve the ways we work with you to bring you the best and most current theories and methods.
And the people behind the promise
The concept that was to become Professional Growth Systems (PGS) began in 1970, when company founder and president, Bill Dann, began helping native health corporations in Alaska provide their own healthcare. Since then, the company has used the challenges it faced in those early days to become a premiere organizational consulting resource that serves executives, governing boards and management teams in a variety of industries throughout the United States.
