Organizational Effectiveness Consulting
Strategic guidance for building an integrated, high-performing organization
Unlock the potential and performance of your organization
Strengthen your organization’s performance goals, by focusing as much on the people side of business as you do on the day-to-day activities of operational, sales, and tactical goal achievement.
Maybe your leaders aren’t stepping up to the plate with the level of capability, ambition, and accountability you would like to see. You may have cross-functional conflicts or lack of alignment creating barriers to execution. You could be gearing up for a transformation, while still resolving challenges from past change efforts. Perhaps your current organizational design isn’t serving your evolving business strategy.
BDO organizational effectiveness consultants can help you envision your future, clarify priorities, determine gaps and opportunities — and then work with you and your team to address your most important needs. We take a holistic approach to identify your organizational strengths and zero in on areas for transformation, designing solutions specific to your situation and context and working with you through the implementation to achieve measurable results.
Together, we can create a focused, formidable organization aligned behind your business strategy and your people - poised to achieve your goals.

Review Existing Operations
We begin by listening to understand your organization’s culture, relationships, work practices, and processes, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
Design Roadmap
After diagnosis, we help you articulate what you’re trying to achieve, identify what capabilities you need to develop, and design a roadmap to reach that goal.
Enable Strategic Success
We apply systems thinking and emotional intelligence to help you align leadership, culture, structure, governance, and processes for effective strategy execution.
Redesign Organizational Structures
We help leaders redesign organizations to accelerate strategic priorities, align roles, clarify responsibilities, and enhance processes for better decision-making and collaboration.

Our work goes beyond strategy. We work hand-in-hand with leaders to align conversations; develop messaging; design effective team meetings; implement new or different processes, practices, and programs; and accomplish lasting results.

Team Offsite Design and Facilitation
Create memorable experiences that achieve lasting business results
Memorable offsite events — including leadership retreats, conferences, even virtual gatherings — provide opportunities for creative thinking, relationship-building, and cross-functional collaboration that accelerate your results in real time.
Offsite events require careful planning and preparation to generate these critical, lore-creating moments. BDO’s experienced consultants provide the design, development, and execution support you need to get the best possible return from your time, effort, and resources.
We help you understand and articulate your strategic intent, translate that into a fully developed agenda, and facilitate the meeting toward your desired outcome. We provide tactical aid during the event, such as logistics, material resources, graphic recording, and visual communication, as well as facilitative support — guiding discussions, building trusting relationships, and cultivating discovery moments.
And after your event, we remain engaged, following through with action items and communications that help drive meaningful business results. We often follow events with coaching of individuals, leaders and teams — in both one-on-one and group settings — to help embed the behaviors that drive self-awareness and regulation; transparent communication; and strong cross functional coordination and collaboration.

Leadership Assessments
Obtain vital data and insights to inform leadership development

BDO’s consultants will guide your leaders through individual leader and/or leadership team assessments tailored for your team and leverage those findings to develop thoughtful coaching and development plans, leadership and team interventions and retreats, as well as other learning experiences that can improve communication, collaboration, and alignment.
