Best Business Consultants in Boston, MA

The short answer is YES, however we rarely see self-directed work teams anymore. Companies have found that even within the team, a leader emerges (a Supervisor of sorts) that makes decisions and solves problems, which in of itself tends to negate the whole purpose of the team concept. If there were self-directed work teams that functioned properly we would work with the Manager to which the teams reported (much the same as a Supervisor), ensuring training and coaching on problem identification and resolution occurs with all members of the self-directed team.

Our projects vary by the size, areas in-scope and complexity of each organization, however a typical project timeline ranges from 25 weeks to 40 weeks in calendar time.

Very little of your Supervisors and Managers time will be required out of their work environment, other than during our initial communication meetings. Our time conducting observations will be in the workplace with them and their direct reports, and they will continue to manage their respective areas as they would normally.

Most companies are working on improving. We are and have worked with a number of Clients in this situation, and we were able to help them achieve and exceed their goals much faster through our training, one-on-one coaching and mentoring of their management team, and involving their employees in the process, while building the accountability and ownership to ensure perpetuation of the results.

Some of our Clients have had less than successful experiences in the past, but by talking with some of our references, and by going through our analysis process, it became clear to them that our proposal made sense. They subsequently engaged PVA and their projects were extremely successful, and now they are references for PVA and speak highly of us.
