Our Team
The CG Strategy team is comprised of experienced organization development practitioners. We have a passion for our work that is contagious and inspires our clients to make meaningful changes. We view our organization as a “community” where we practice what we preach. We are committed to learning and every member of our team dedicates time to remain current on the latest trends in our service offerings.
Our team members also invest informal learning opportunities, which give our clients access to practitioners with masters’ degrees and extensive experience in fields such as public policy and administration, and prestigious certifications in areas such as Project Management, Balanced Scorecard, Executive Coaching, and Organization Development.
We understand the impacts that remote work continues to have on organizations, its leaders, and staff. CGS helps organizations establish different ways to connect, collaborate, and innovate to meet their outcomes. Our practitioners are continually learning new facilitation methods and virtual tools to best support our clients in remote, in-person, and hybrid environments.
In addition to our staff, our community includes a team of partners who both supplement and complement our skills. Thus, we enhance our ability to meet client needs as they arise. We have established long-term relationships with many of our teaming partners and are connected with the larger consulting community through professional organizations and other networks. Our teaming partners include both individuals and companies who are familiar and experienced with our approaches and methodologies.
Our approach to staffing projects is simple:
identify the client needs and then draw upon our team for the appropriate resources.
