Office Culture
Office culture is the belief system of the office. A firm's mission and strategic plan is effective only when it is shared by all employees. Having everyone understand where the firm is going is important.
Leadership
A healthy culture is reflective of good leadership. We advise senior people on ways to improve their leadership to foster the culture that is desired.
Mentoring
Design firms make common mistakes with mentoring programs. Mentoring efforts begin with the best of intentions, but often fade over time. We can advise how to develop mentoring programs that are successful for the long term.
We can also assist with the identification of senior staff who can mentor young people. This is key to leveraging highly skilled people.
"When our firm was about to embark on its new identity, we worked with Jack and Mark. They presented us with several recommendations, and we have been moving forward with their recommendations. We see that as a watershed moment in our firm's development."

"Mark and his staff have been extremely helpful in assisting our firm with a variety of services including internal staff surveys, and development of a new associate program. Mark has a very comfortable manner putting people at ease, and he knows how to ask probing questions in a non-threatening way. His advice over the years has been both insightful and on target, and we are deeply grateful for his counsel and friendship."
