Barger and Kirby have been providing leadership consulting, coaching, and training for leaders of organizational change for 15 years.

Our expertise includes the following:

Consulting with Leaders – what does your organization need?

Individual Leadership Assessment and Coaching – how can you be more effective?

Leading During Organizational Change – training for leader/manager groups

Barger and Kirby have been providing assessments and recommendations for leaders of changing organizations for 15 years. Typically, this consulting includes the following:

	In-depth interviewing of selected leaders, managers, employees and customers, structured to identify what’s working well and where problems exist.
	Preparation and presentation of a comprehensive, detailed report on The State of the Organization’s People.
	Specific recommendations for dealing with identified problems, with priorities, time-lines, and additional information as requested.
	Designing customized programs to support the recommendations.

The challenges and model for different industries and organizations vary; the common factor — and the one that makes or breaks an organizational change program — is the needs of the people who will implement the program. We believe the people in the organization are best placed to decide what changes need to happen and to design the new structures. Our expertise is in identifying what people need to implement those plans and designing the training programs and support to make it happen.
