Practical Value to Clients – Not Just Theory, but Useful Tools & Skills

Sea-Change’s training and assistance should be measured by the tangible, bottom line value we deliver to our clients.  Sea-Change professionals work closely with clients and program participants to ensure the practical relevance of our assistance.  We expect to be judged by the true value we add to our clients’ capacity.

Commitment to Building Our Clients’ Capacity, Not Dependency

Sea-Change professionals don’t just solve problems for our clients; we help our clients become better problem-solvers…and more.  In everything we do with our clients, we see a chance to help our clients need us less over time.  Our fundamental approach to client relationships is to see ourselves as a resource for making our clients better at what they do – and better able to cope with strategic challenges.

Improving Processes

Part of helping our clients improve what they do is in helping them build skills, adopt better habits, increase their awareness, and question important assumptions.  But we also encourage our clients to be better “process thinkers;” devoting sufficient time and effort to improving the way they learn and the way they apply what they learn over time.

The Best of Experience, Practice, and Theory

Sea-Change Partners is not simply a “soft skills training organization.”  We are practitioners at the tops of our respective fields, with experience working at the highest levels of business and government in more than 120 countries, worldwide.  We have also trained and taught at the world’s most prestigious institutions in our respective fields.  We combine experience in high-stakes situations with the best, most practical pedagogy available.  Our learning approaches are not cut-and-paste training programs.  Our consultants don’t simply read a book and then give advice or training based on someone else’s ideas.  We are not people with sales experience who think they are experts in Negotiation, nor are we people who claim to be experts in Leadership because they once served as a manager.  We do not claim to be experts in Crisis Management because we survived one crisis situation.  We are experts in Crisis Management because we have been involved in dozens of crisis situations, of all types, around the world.  Our senior professionals have extensive experience as practitioners, advisors, and trainers in all of our critical areas of expertise.

Beyond “Best Practices:” Questioning Assumptions and Conventional Wisdom

Sea-Change professionals are highly-qualified individuals who are constantly trying to improve the way the world puts various skills into practice.  Our methods of curriculum development are not to research others’ “best practices” and re-sell them to our clients.  As a learning organization ourselves; Sea-Change Partners professionals are constantly questioning what we learn and critiquing so-called conventional wisdom.  We don’t just help to “fine-tune” what our clients do…We aim to help them revolutionize what they do
