Customizing Our Approach to Serve Client Needs
Our clients look to us to dig deeper, to take the time to listen fully, find out what issues they face and tailor our services to their needs. That message recently rang true when CI created a comprehensive leadership program for senior leaders in a federal agency.
Helping a Leader Gain Greater Respect

Launching a New Team Well
Most new teams have weeks or even months to get up to speed. A client recently came to CI to launch a new team of 80 people tasked to support a high profile agency mission. They needed a common understanding of their new mission, a clear sense of roles and responsibilities, and a well-defined set of goals for the upcoming year. And they needed it in one day.
The 80 team members had previously only worked in teams of 6-8. Now they were all going to have to work closely, and almost immediately, with the much larger group. To meet their needs, CI created a customized, interactive workshop designed to achieve the following objectives:
- Clarify/validate vision of the office
- Improve communications between office divisions
- Establish mutual expectations
- Create a sense of connection and shared purpose
- Reinforce the importance of teamwork, communications and relationships
Through a series of exercises and activities that built on each other, we achieved their objectives, determined strategic goals for the upcoming year, and assigned action groups. The team was truly impressed that they had accomplished so much in so little time.
The ability to customize our services to address an immediate and pressing issue is something that distinguishes CI. We don’t just present material and hope you’ll find a way to use it. Our real-world approach is designed to help you achieve tangible results. It isn’t just training for training’s sake. It’s training with a purpose and an identifiable outcome.

Customizing Our Approach to Serve Client Needs
Interested, non-selected individuals received targeted training—typically three workshops—and many of them went on to achieve selection to the more rigorous program. Our approach also ensured that agency funds were spent wisely with individuals only attending a workshop after it was determined to be a good fit to address their needs.

Helping a Leader Gain Greater Respect
Recently, a client came to CI frustrated by his inability to gain the respect of his team. Through a 360-degree assessment, he learned that his team’s perception of him was very different from who he really was. With the support and expert guidance of his coach, he was able to dig deeper and discover the motivations for his behaviors and how they were creating his team’s poor perception of him. Together with his coach, he developed a plan of action that helped him choose more authentic, effective behaviors and align who he was with what others saw.

Transforming Organizations
The Federal Government is currently implementing an organizational philosophy of Category Management throughout all Agencies.
In each of these areas, we utilized key project management and change management principles, drawing heavily on Kotter’s 8-Step Process for Leading Change and Bridges’ Transition Model. Our project approach included multiple workstreams operating in parallel to each other throughout the course of the engagement. The ongoing organizational support and key relationships allowed CI to serve as a trusted partner during the Category Management transition and the establishment of the current operational state throughout the organization. While the current pace of change in organizations continues to explode, leaders and staff in this organization now have the awareness and skills to embrace the challenges brought on by the pace of change. They can speak the same organizational language and know they are supported.
