Putting DeepRoots  to Work

When we engage with a new client, there are often a lot questions about how this works and the impact it may have on the organization.

When engaging on a project, we adhere to a few principles that guide our work:

You Have Most of What You Need

There are a lot of very smart people in your organization. You already have most of the knowledge and expertise you need to transform your organization. Our job isn’t to bring in some secret sauce, it’s to help bring your team together and guide them through a process to find the answers to your business problems.

There are No Armies - Your Team Must Engage

We don’t bring in armies of consultants and purport to be able to do everything for you. Our entire methodology is about building leaders and changing fundamental organizational behaviors. We can’t do it without you! That means that your teams will have to be heavily engaged, but this shouldn’t be viewed as a side effort. What we’ll be working on is fundamentally a core part of their job.

There Will Be No Campfires

While our consultants will spend as much time on-site as necessary to ensure that we deliver results, we are just as focused on supporting the development of your team.  Our goal is to build leadership and transformation skills within your teams and that can happen much more slowly if we’re there all the time. Typically, we spend a lot more time on-site at the beginning and slowly begin transitioning to remote support. Ultimately, this cuts down on travel costs and ensures that your team is building the skills they need to continue and sustain the changes long after we’ve left.

We Don’t Need Support – We Need a Champion

To affect a cultural transformation will require steadfast and sustained executive support. In truth, what we will really need is a Change Champion. An executive who is willing to be the personification of the culture he or she is trying to create.

If this seems to make sense to you, give us a call and let’s discuss how we can get started.
