Our Services

As a premiere organization development consulting firm, Guttman provides a range of services in three core areas: Leadership Team Alignment, Leadership Coaching, and Leadership Development.

Each of Guttman’s core service areas—Leadership Team Alignment, Leadership Coaching, and Leadership Development—are powerful vehicles for elevating the performance of teams and individuals.  But game-changing, breakthrough performance comes about when the three services are integrated into a comprehensive approach that creates horizontal organizations and high performance teams within them.

Leadership Team Alignments build a high-performance culture, a set of behaviors, and a way of operating that begins with senior teams and cascades to key teams at succeeding levels.  Leadership Coaching ensures that teams and individual become adept at working effectively in the new horizontal, high-performing environment.  Leadership Development equips everyone with the “know how” to succeed in an organization that works horizontally rather than in silos, that redefines the nature of accountability, that is transparent and focuses on rapid issue resolution,  and that is stridently performance- and results-based.

The Guttman approach is collaborative and client centered.  We work off each client’s agenda, using time-tested processes that leverage the experience of clients and the expertise of our consultants to  leave behind a permanent capability. Our consulting team is acutely aware of cultural nuances and organizational dynamics, both crucial to building trust and making change “stick.”

• The Colluding Team

  October 10, 2011

  The CEO of an international consumer packaging company met in Europe with his company’s divisional presidents to roll out a new global strategy. The initial response was enthusiastic, but one executive kept raising doubting Thomas-type questions.

• Organizational Influence

  The ability to influence, rather than dictate, outcomes has become increasingly important, especially when an executive or manager enjoys only positional authority. This is especially true in highly decentralized environments.

• Applied Biosystems

  When Catherine Burzik became president of Applied Biosystems (AB), she knew she faced stiff challenges. The company she was about to lead had been stagnant for several years, with little revenue growth and falling stock prices.
