COMMITMENT, CREAVITY, COLLABORATION

Outcome-focused vs. engagement focused

We don’t measure success by length of reports or number of interesting discussions. Our success is based on your success. We focus on strategies and plans that deliver your desired business outcomes and a stronger, aligned leadership team.

We’ve been in your shoes - We understand the challenges and expectations of developing an executing a strategy – we’ve held internal strategy positions - and were accountable for the results.

Customized approach blending best-in-class strategy models with leadership development

Rigid, building-block approaches to strategy don’t work - market dynamics, personal dynamics and organizational culture all come into play. While focusing on all the critical elements of strategy, we also address organization issues and leadership challenges that derail even the best strategy efforts.

We’re all in

We love what we do so we’re less concerned with maximizing billable hours and more about your success. As a result, we have many long-term repeat clients who benefit from our independence and best practices, while still viewing us as part of the team.

What our Clients SAY

I hired Elaine to work with me to support multiple clients within one federal government agency. Each client group was in a different stage of strategic planning and all had different reasons for entering into the process. Elaine worked tirelessly to meet each group where they were at in order to ensure the tailored process she created for them reflected their interests and would surface the end results the groups were aiming for. Her ability to establish a connection to each group, to learn about their work not only reflects her professionalism but also her expertise. She was willing and able to pivot as needed to meet evolving needs. To a person, each client indicated feeling positive about their experience working with Elaine.
I hired Elaine Kennedy to help the strategy committee of our board coalesce around a common vision, mission and strategic direction for our organization. This was not an easy task due to many competing priorities and viewpoints of board members. Elaine and her team masterfully managed our offsite sessions utilizing an effective mix of discussion, market analysis and most importantly, decision making. Even more impressive was her ability to translate these strategic concepts into actionable plans for our organization. We now have a strategic framework that guides our internal and external initiatives as well as a detailed set of goals and objectives for the new year. I was particularly impressed with the breadth of her capabilities in strategic planning. With Elaine's guidance we developed high level plans for solution planning, business development and strategic partnerships in addition to the overarching business strategy. I would definitely recommend Diventa Consulting and look forward to working with Elaine in the near future.
