Organizational Diagnostics


The Challenge

As the leader of a high-stakes team or organization, you know what it’s like to work under constantly changing, stressful conditions. You and your teams know when you’re not working well together or performing at your peak, but you don’t have time to assess why or how to make it better. Wildfire Strategies Organizational Diagnostics can provide you with an in-depth understanding of the impediments to your best teamwork and performance, as well as the strengths that will help you overcome those impediments.

The Work

Organizational Diagnostics includes three components: interviews, surveys and data analysis.

  • Interviews: Wildfire designs and delivers in-depth one-on-one assessment interviews with leaders, teams and influencers from every level of the organization. These interviews provide insights into what causes the challenges you face, as well as what – and who – can help solve them. The interviews also build rapport across roles and serve as a pressure release valve, giving participants the feeling of being heard and validated.

  • Surveys: Wildfire also designs and delivers tailored surveys to larger groups of team members to capture department or system-level feedback on how challenges in communication, respect, accountability and role clarity impact team performance and productivity.

  • Data Analysis: The industries we work with are not short on data. Employee engagement surveys, industry ratings, patient satisfaction scores, and many more help to paint the picture of where your organization and teams function well and where they don’t. We evaluate relevant survey data and also look at strategic documents like five-year plans to understand where you are, and where you want to be.

Because Organizational Diagnostics gives people the chance to be heard, it already begins to create a positive shift in relationships and behaviors.  The results of the Organizational Diagnostics – interviews, surveys and analytics – help us to design the interventions that improve your team and organizational performance.

The Challenge

There are so many forces shaping the industries we work with: regulation, technology, mergers, disintermediation, and others.  Leadership changes at all levels create opportunities for fresh starts, but they can also kick up fears about losing familiar faces and ways of working. It’s easy to get off track during these times of change, or paralyzed into inaction that leaves you behind.  

The Work

Wildfire helps leadership to navigate these macro-level changes with a strategic mindset.  Working with leadership teams and boards, Wildfire designs and delivers retreats, annual meetings and off-sites where these leaders can build desired culture, vision and strategic plans for themselves and their organizations. Through additional strategic planning, team transformation and individual coaching, Wildfire can then help them bring these plans to life.

The results of Strategic Direction include cohesive leadership teams, strategic plans, and more defined cultures that guide organizational direction.

Wildfire has over 20 years’ experience igniting leaders and teams in purpose-driven organizations.
