Your organization has something in common with every other: to achieve your goals, you need the right culture and people who fit that culture. Our passion is charting companies' long-term success through talent management practices that reinforce existing culture strengths and that help to change cultural norms that have impeded corporate performance. Research shows that culture significantly impacts the performance of a company, and our mission is to help each client create a game plan to ensure a robust culture that supports the business strategy.

HOW WE CAN HELPSometimes a culture misalignment is obvious. Sometimes it's more subtle. In either case, objectivity and experience will get you a lot further than a heated session around the board room table. Our approach is a start-to-finish partnership.

CURRENT Culture
DESIRED Culture
Field experience hones instincts and sharpens skills in assessing culture, but analytics provide objectivity and measurement to ensure evaluation is quantifiable. We developed Culture Engine, the cornerstone of TSP's toolkit, to look at culture through the lens of "organization effectiveness." Based on the Competing Values Framework, Culture Engine guides understanding of what factors make the company most effective now and in the future. Let us marshal our analytics to address your challenges.
We can hear you saying, “Are you kidding me? Why would I want to read yet another book on leadership?” Here’s why: Breaking Through “Bitch” is the only book that hits head-on why women leaders cannot and should not “act like men.” Although they demonstrate many of the same leadership competencies, successful women demonstrate them differently than men. And that difference makes all the difference!
Our deep expertise in defining what makes leaders successful has led us to recognize that the different challenges women face require a different roadmap for success. Breaking Through “Bitch” lays out that roadmap – the Women’s Leadership Blueprint™ – and shows how you – whether you are a woman or a man – can use it to create a culture that fosters collaboration and innovation in today’s fast-changing world.
With humor, a positive outlook, and compellingly-conveyed stories and research, this is an easy, enjoyable read. It is not your typical business book!

They achieved great results but were “let go” from their senior posts. Why? They were all labeled smart but difficult, unapproachable, and intimidating – traits that have also been associated with a long line of successful male editors. What does this say about the newsroom culture? Can women lead in this kind of culture where being aggressive and demanding are necessary for a leader but not tolerated from a woman? |
THERE ARE CEOs WHO KNOW THAT CULTURE EATS STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST!By Patricia Schaeffer I sometimes get discouraged by the number of executives who don’t seem to think that a healthy corporate culture is as important as efficient operations, a differentiating brand, and other business success factors. But then I meet an executive like Lars Björk and my faith is restored.… |
BALLMER'S CHANGE MANDATE - HOW LIKE-MINDED ARE MICROSOFT EXECUTIVES?By Carol Mitchell Each individual on the senior team likely has their own interpretation of what will create Ballmer’s “One Microsoft” and what the new culture should look like. The challenge here is to understand where they are “like-minded” and where they are “divergent” in their thinking… |
