In the same way that there are no two identical people, there are no two identical organizations. Thus, the training and development needs of your organization are unique and are dependent on what you have done in the past, current organizational challenges and the current needs of your supervisory, management and executive teams.

Powers & Co. does not offer "canned" training programs. We work with you to:

• assess the needs of your organization,

• custom design a program to meet your specific needs and budget,

• conduct the training program.

Powers & Co. offers additional management training and team development services such as:

• individual management or executive coaching and consultation,

• on-going leadership team meeting facilitation (i.e. quarterly goal setting meetings, task force meetings, etc.),

• career continuation / outplacement consultation for former team members.

What follows is a partial list of the topics that Powers & Co. has addressed in years of management training and team development activity. Your program may include elements of these topics and many others but we will custom design each session -with specific case studies and activities and the latest tools and techniques - to met the current needs of your organization.
