Boston, Chandler, And San Jose And…

Over the last few months, our team has consulted with different organizations of various sizes and spoken at several conferences of government leaders.

In Boston at the annual conference of the International City/County Management Association Patrick presented his "Your Leadership Playbook" workshop.

The City of Chandler, Arizona retained the Mejorando Group to design their inaugural Succession Planning Program. Our report outlining the City's new competency model for non-supervisors, supervisors, managers and leaders was provided in late October. The next step is the creation of a Pilot Leadership Development Program.

Patrick designed and facilitated an Advance meeting with the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department of the City of San Jose, California. The intent was to embed into the workplace culture the entrepreneurial approach of delivering department services.

Implement Next Practices To Expedite Progress

Now is the optimal time to refresh the focus of your organization’s workforce. Helping members have a clear line of sight between the contributions he/she makes every day with the overall performance of the organization is fundamental to success. Ensuring leaders, top to bottom, are well prepared to navigate current and future challenges, is the hallmark of credible and effective government.

Our team of consultants at the Mejorando Group partner with government leaders nationwide, helping translate the headwinds of change into a tailwind accelerating progress towards a better future. In our work we provide a range of services designed to effectively disrupt the status quo thinking of “we’ve always done it that way” and replace it with a “next practices” approach of optimizing resources, increasing employee performance and improving organizational effectiveness.
