International Consulting

The Need

Rapid Growth across organizations and changes in the business or political environment require improvements in Leadership, Management Practices, Structures, Culture and HR Policies and Procedures.  But the day to day pressures of running a business or organization mean that leaders need outside advice and help to implement change.  This is where Oakwood International Consulting can provide valuable input.

Who We Are and What We Offer

Oakwood International Consulting, part of the expanding Oakwood Group, works with businesses and organizations worldwide in both the private and public sectors.  Our aim is to help change the beliefs, attitudes, values, and structures of organizations so that they can:

• Better adapt to new markets and business challenges
• Improve their capacity to handle internal and external functioning and relationships
• Enhance interpersonal and group processes with more effective communications
• Maintain an ability to cope with organizational problems of all kinds with:
• more effective decision processes
• more appropriate leadership styles
• improved skills in dealing with destructive conflict and
• higher levels of trust and cooperation among the organization’s members.

How We Work with Organisations

Typically we analyse the current position of the organisation and we find out what you want to achieve and we help you get there. We agree objectives, establish timescales and ground rules, and then facilitate the group process, using appropriate techniques drawn from our many years of experience. We ensure that objectives are met, issues resolved and forward planning put in place.

The Oakwood approach focuses on practical results. So you will find us:

• Working with business leaders to define purpose, goals and priorities
• Helping to identify barriers and how these might be overcome
• Implementing people management and development initiatives for a changing workplace or political environment
• Building performance management processes that are practical and that work
• Developing mechanisms for giving/receiving feedback and sharing ideas at all levels within the organisation.
