"The common purpose of an organization must always be a moral purpose, and to inculcate this moral purpose into the very fiber of the organization and its members is the only meaningful task of the executive."
- Adapted from Charles Perrow’s review of Chester Barnard’s The Functions of the Executive (1938) in Complex Organizations: A Critical Essay, Third Edition (1972)

ECHO = Evolving the Culture for a Healthier Organization
Our ECHO Process facilitates the evolution of organizations to meet the changing needs of their employees, clients and communities.
Your customized ECHO Process stimulates repeated waves of relevant education and application to evolve the powerful and invisible force that sustains high performance: the culture of your organization.
Discover
Through a variety of methodologies, leaders and employees help to identify the leadership or cultural needs of the organization. The results indicate the current state of the organization and outline desired changes, which serve as the foundation for the ECHO Process. These results are also a genesis for reflection and decision-making, and they serve as a benchmark for future measurement.
Learn
Customized learning sessions reveal key values, organizational development principles and leadership practices that relate to the needs and goals of the organization.
Create
As organizational members discover and learn together, they actively participate in the internal development of new norms, practices, policies, and/or processes to refine the culture.
Model
With our guidance and support, organizational members planfully execute the changes necessary for the evolution of the culture.
Measure
No process is complete or validated without accurate and ongoing measurement of results. Measurement ensures that the evolution is tracked, problem areas are targeted, change is monitored and forward progress is celebrated. |
