ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Understanding the individual is the core of what SIMA International, Inc. does. That understanding enables us to help organizations understand what happens when they align their people together into an entire system and strategy. Using our proprietary assessment technology, SIMA®, we have served hundreds of organizations in a wide variety of fields, helping them become more effective and profitable through the efficient positioning and management of their people.

Most of our client relationships last for years as we become key and trusted advisors in the following areas.

Strategic Team Development

SIMA International, Inc. helps an organization build high-performing teams committed to reaching their strategic goals. We can plan and facilitate meetings and retreats with intact work teams, special project teams, and/or team leaders. By using a combination of SIMA® and processes tailored to your organization, we can walk your team through a process that reduces confusion, builds or restores trust, and creates a solid platform of shared vision. Our Compatibility Studies can bring these team-building principles to the smaller scale of working relationships between two or three people. This intensive process is crucial in weaving each individual’s motivations into a symbiotic, effective management effort.

Organizational Analysis And Redesign

SIMA International, Inc. understand how important it is to read the pulse of an organization during times of growth and change. For example, by teaming up with in-house managers and executives, we can work as a resource for doing due diligence of senior employees as part of mergers and acquisitions, or when managing right-sizings or redeploying existing employees. We have served as the primary consultant in dozens of reorganizations with companies that have as much as $2.5 billion in annual revenues. We provide concise, job-centered information that builds a practical, effective organizational structure.

Change Management

If an organization is experiencing fundamental change, such as new leadership, structural redesign, implementation of technological advances, or a new strategic direction, its employees’ jobs and lives are impacted on a daily basis. Those changes can lead to resistance and confusion, lowering productivity and distracting a team from reaching its goals and objectives. SI can partner with an organization’s leaders to design a sound process for successfully managing transitions and helping teams rise above the chaos with a sense of new direction, clarity, and purpose. We believe that change management should be built on core employee strengths, and only SIMA® can accurately and comprehensively describe those unique elements in an organization’s workforce.

Career Development Consulting And Workshops

SIMA International, Inc. can partner with an organization to deliver career programs and workshops tailored to the organization. We also offer individualized career management services to all levels of employees. We can help equip both employees and leaders with the knowledge and skills to improve job success and satisfaction. Doing so will improve individual and organizational performance and positively impact the organization’s ability to attract and retain talent.

Job-Fit Audit And Review

Using SIMA® to develop Critical Position Requirements (CPRs) on a position, SIMA International enables an organization to objectively and precisely evaluate the fit between an individual and a specific job. This approach works especially well in performance improvement situations and reengineering applications, and creates an important dialogue about the best use of a key employee’s unique strengths.

Succession Planning

Organizations of all sizes need to have an organized and effective system of succession planning for key executive, managerial, technical, and/or professional talent. SIMA International can work with organizational decision-makers to design and implement systems for planning transition strategies and identifying likely successors.
