Strategic Direction

There are so many forces shaping the industries we work with: regulation, technology, mergers, disintermediation, and others. Leadership changes at all levels create opportunities for fresh starts, but they can also kick up fears about losing familiar faces and ways of working. It’s easy to get off track during these times of change, or paralyzed into inaction that leaves you behind.

The Challenge

As the leader of a high-stakes team or organization, you know what it’s like to work under constantly changing, stressful conditions. You and your teams know when you’re not working well together or performing at your peak, but you don’t have time to assess why or how to make it better. Wildfire Strategies Organization Diagnostics can provide you with an in-depth understanding of the impediments to your best teamwork and performance, as well as the strengths that will help you overcome those impediments.

Our process of assessing the organization – interviews, surveys and analytics – enables us to design the interventions that improve the performance of your leadership, departmental teams and the business overall. Because Organization Diagnostics gives people the chance to be heard, it already begins to create a positive shift in relationships and behaviors.

The Work
Organization Diagnostics includes three components

Interviews

Wildfire designs and delivers in-depth one-on-one assessment interviews with leaders, teams and influencers from every level of the organization. These interviews provide insights into what causes the challenges you face, as well as what – and who – can help solve them. The interviews also build rapport across roles and serve as a pressure release valve, giving participants the feeling of being heard and validated.

Surveys

Wildfire also designs and delivers tailored surveys to larger groups of team members to capture department or system-level feedback on how challenges in communication, respect, accountability and role clarity impact team performance and productivity.

Through our partnership with RallyBright, we offer surveys that assess team resilience and levels of inclusion and collaboration in organization cultures. The results include a dashboard that also provides a range of other team and individual assessment tools.

Data Analysis

The industries we work with are not short on data. Employee engagement surveys, industry ratings, satisfaction scores, and many more help to paint the picture of where your organization and teams function well and where they don’t.
