"MDA partnered with our IT Leadership Team to develop and implement a systematic change management process that has already started to transform our IT function. MDA’s knowledge of change management and organizational alignment allowed us to involve the right people, build commitment at various levels, anticipate the implementation barriers, and create the processes needed for success. We are now aligned with how the industry is defining the new role of IT and MDA played a huge part in making that happen."

What We Do

Organizational Performance

Energize and Align to Achieve More

"All organizations are perfectly aligned to get the results they get." We believe the words of Arthur W. Jones pave the path to better performance. Want better results? Then leaders need teams that are cohesive, agile, and savvy about creating alignment to deliver on day-to-day expectations. Easier said than done.

Most improvement efforts ignore fundamental change principles and fail to produce lasting change. To be effective, leaders must know how to build a compelling business case, engage the right people, take actions that make sense, and build alignment to sustain results. The best leaders create alignment and implement change that improves performance, customer satisfaction, and at the same time increases employee motivation, commitment, and productivity.

We partner with executive teams to lead change and create organizational alignment so the business strategy can achieve the desired results. We help diagnose what is getting in the way and facilitate actions needed to achieve full alignment. Our expertise in designing and implementing processes helps create lasting change that improves organizational performance.

ev3 Achieves HR "Breakthrough" Excellence

A relatively new medical products company, ev3 had established a robust, high-quality human resources department in less than a decade. But the department’s leader was not satisfied with simply having a “good” department. He wanted HR to become “great” -- specifically to adopt a long-term strategic plan, including measures of effectiveness, efficiency and outcomes, and transform HR professionals into powerful strategic business partners. To achieve these goals, ev3 hired MDA Leadership Consulting to assess the “current state”, design and facilitate a strategic planning process, and align HR service delivery with the organization’s overall direction. The results were transformational. Today, the HR function at ev3 is recognized company-wide as the definitive “go-to” resource for business planning, facilitating effective integration of new talent, developing a leadership pipeline, and providing support for building and sustaining the culture.
