Every organization has a culture - a set of values, beliefs and behaviors - that is generally acknowledged to be "the way we do things around here."

Such alignment requires, among other things, effective communication between levels of the organization. Management must know and understand the experiences of those below them, and everyone, throughout the organization, must understand his or her role in enacting the organization's mission.

In most companies, though, communication is far from perfect. The pressures of daily operations take precedence over less immediate concerns, and when communication is difficult or uncertain, it gets deferred. In addition, the mere size of most organizations makes thorough communication a challenge. As a result, management doesn't know what those below it are thinking and doing, and people don't know what management has in mind for them.

At Margaret Davis Consulting, we help you see the full picture of your organization. We look at how people actually behave and we compare it with how they need to behave, in order to achieve the performance that you are aiming for. We help you understand the gap between what you have and what you need, and we help you make the changes necessary to get there.
