THE SHEPHERDING CONSULT
Organizational consults take on many forms. Common to most of them is a “product” or “deliverable” in an area where the organization wants to improve or has some point of pain. Often the point of pain is a symptom of what’s going on in the organizational system. This is particularly true when an organization is at a developmental threshold.
In those cases, a single deliverable is usually not a sustainable solution. Instead, guided by “anchor” efforts such as planning, board development, restructuring, and/or others, a Shepherding Consult is in order.
This customized and adaptable consult moves the organization to engage in the “anchor” efforts all the while looking at what is necessary to drive the best organizational behavior, performance, and mission effectiveness with best practice. This approach oftentimes drives positive culture shifts.

Strategic Planning
Exceptional Leadership Growth
Twenty years ago, a small non-profit employed Peabody Global for its first strategic planning process. Because the organization has exceptional leadership both at the executive and board levels the result of their planning has delivered 300% growth in three successive strategic plan cycles of 3 years each.
The strategic planning itself has driven not only the growth but also the quality cohesion of their work, which continues to make them a very attractive option. The quality of work is imbued in the staff and its highly effective board, through its meaningful and inviting culture. Peabody Global is honored to have been a partner for the past decade.

Crisis Management
+ Resolution
Peabody Global facilitated an organization to transition from crisis to the highly effective organization that it is today.
This organization found itself amid a crisis that threatened its very existence due to dangerous political maneuvers and infighting. These internal board dysfunctions and political forces resulted in the loss of key leaders.
To save the organization, the CEO paid a heavy price to influence equity. Peabody Global took the organization from the furor of the crisis with an organizational analysis and refocused the principles to productive problem-solving.
Organizational Development
