Consulting and Retreats

Consulting

At Wild Blue Yonder we know how the pressures and demands of the evolving business landscape can affect your organization. We’re going through them too – they don’t stop. Simply to survive is no longer enough. The way you are organized will make the difference between thriving and falling behind.

One of the keys to overcoming management challenges, implementing strategic initiatives, and capturing business opportunities is figuring out the optimal way to develop your business. We offer consulting services to help your organization develop the skills and use the tools that will help you effectively organize for projects, product design or the constantly changing competitive environment. Consultation includes administering and interpreting the leading organizational assessment tools.

Wild Blue Yonder consulting services are offered in the content areas outlined below under Organizational Behavior and Organizational Assessment. They are customized to meet your specific requirements.

We offer the advanced leadership program: Simulations: Edgework™ Executive Decision-Making. Edgework, developed by The Center for Creative Management, helps groups address difficult leadership issues and find new ways of working more effectively together.

Retreats

Wild Blue Yonder is expert in designing and facilitating retreats. In fact, we wrote the book on it. Sheila Campbell of Wild Blue Yonder co-authored the book Retreats that Work with Merianne Liteman. It is the definitive title in the field of designing and conducting effective offsites for groups and organizations. Visit the book’s website Retreats That Work.
