Team building evolution is crucial to long term success. Is Everyone on Your team unified with other organization members to accomplish the overall objectives?

“People in every workplace talk about building a team, about working as a team, but do I really understand how to create the experience of team work or how to develop my people into a truly effective team…?”

In the same way that transparency of financials creates ownership behaviors, transparency of communication creates employee behaviors. We are sometimes reluctant to confront behavior that does not align with the standards of our organization because we are afraid we will jeopardize a relationship or because we aren’t sure how to deliver the message.

In either case, the cost of our silence is that we permit the behavior. In essence, we endorse the behavior: what we permit, we promote.

How do we communicate with transparency? We start by clearly citing the behavior in question, whether we are talking to a peer or an employee. (I need to talk to you about… When you…) We connect actions to results, so everyone involved understands the impact of the behavior. In the same way financial impacts must be clearly understood, behaviors should also be connected back to how they affect the “bottom line” of teamwork.

Evolution starts with our process for team building, one that goes way beyond merely “getting to know one another”. It uses state of the art behavior science so that people actually learn about themselves, as well as the characteristics of others. With the proper training this can hugely impact the communication of a team, improve workflow, and solidify relationships.

Business evolution requires good planning. What can the right approach to business planning do for you and your business? The world is exploding with dynamic change and opportunity. How will your business advantage this? Every industry is intensely competitive, cluttered, and demanding, in time and resources. Creating profitable “win-win” partnerships with customers was once relatively simple; it is now a complex, high stakes process. Successful business owners share several common behaviors that drive performance:

• Focused: They have clear personal and business visions
• Strategic: They have a plan… and they work the plan
• Active: They invest in their success… and demand an ROI
• Accountable: They are not alone at the top…they enlist outside advisors who push them

Business Planning

Customers are more sophisticated and better informed, as a result of increased information created by the internet. In this environment, what worked yesterday clearly will not work today, tomorrow, and beyond. To achieve long-term success, firms have to be committed to frequent external and internal assessments, organizational vision; they must be bold, possess creative, long-term plans, and strive for continuous improvement.

At KM Consulting, we are prepared to help your organization develop a strategic plan that encompasses:

• Situation Analysis
• Gap Analysis
• Issue Clarity
• Vision of Success
• Core Strategies
• Tactics
• Operational Action Plans
• Accountability Metrics

WHAT IS STRATEGIC PLANNING?

While a business plan is vital in the securing of capital from financial institutions, a strategic plan is the road map to achieving your vision. A business plan is seldom revisited once the business is up and running; a proper strategic plan is used almost daily and answers the big questions that keep business owners from goal achievement.

The evolution of a sales team from typical to amazing is hard! And it is a full time job, too!

“I am tired of missing our sales goals! We seem to muddle along getting minimum sales improvement year after year, and everyone has an excuse. I may own the company but I am no expert in sales team development…”

Why hire a Business Coach? Because although you are in business for yourself, you don’t have to be by yourself. Of all our services, KM Consulting’s core expertise lies in business coaching.

“I know that as a small-business owner, I need to keep my company moving forward. But sometimes I feel like my business is stuck in neutral. I know that I need to institute some change, but lack the experience, and maybe the confidence, to properly pull this off…”

KM Consulting was founded in 2006 by Jim Sandler, a veteran executive of International Business, Family Business, and entrepreneurship. Jim has over 25 years experience in change management, with demonstrated success in leading cultural change and identifying where businesses should be positioned to create and/or enhance future value.

Since Jim had built businesses from the ground up to commercial success, developed global and domestic distribution networks, and led effective executive teams, it made sense for him to redirect his career into executive business coaching.
