Competitive Solutions, Inc. is a woman-owned, national consulting and training firm that specializes in the implementation of business-focused work teams in organizations.  Competitive  Solutions, Inc. (CSI) was founded in June 1991 by Debra Boggan and Anna VerSteeg, co-authors of the book  Confessions of an UnManager.

 CSI’s hands-on  programs have a special focus on teaching the practical skills and processes necessary to implement, nurture, and sustain a business-focused team culture in organizations.  These programs for successful change can be customized to meet the needs of the organization and are designed to incorporate total team direction into every management level and functional area.  The programs are based upon proven implementation techniques derived from CSI's success with work team implementation at a number of clients in manufacturing, government, service and business system environments.  In addition to learning necessary team processes, teams are left with quantifiable, auditable business objectives.  These objectives serve to underscore that the primary reason for developing business-focused work teams is the business and its success.

The business-focused work team is an organizational phenomenon that has been developed to utilize the ingenuity and thinking potential of the workforce.  The power of fully integrated business-focused work teams is based in the implementation of team processes that require teams to develop business goals, progressively track and report these business goals, and successfully meet and exceed bottom-line business results.  As workforces have matured in terms of information, education, and capability, the traditional organizational structures and management concepts have not correspondingly evolved in most companies.  In order for business-focused work teams to be effective, there must be a complimentary evolution of management and leadership style.  With a cooperative structure in place, both leadership and employees are empowered to work toward a common goal, the business bottom-line.

Vision Statement“To inspire and motivate companies to self-initialization of service excellence and continuous improvement through employee commitment and involvement.”

 

 

 

Core personnel...

Competitive Solutions, Inc. has a core staff of no less than ten full time professional trainers /consultants.  Educational backgrounds range from degrees in Psychology, Math, Political Science, and Foreign Languages and provide a variety of experiences from which all of our consultants benefit.  Our primary fields of professional expertise are focused on Strategic Business Planning, Communications Strategies, Change Management, Team Implementation, Interpersonal Skills, and Business Accountability.  Our staff of consultants/facilitators has an average of 16.8 years of training/consulting experience.

Preferred approach...

Competitive Solutions consultants spend a great deal of time working with organizational leadership as well as the general population in an effort to gain a well rounded understanding of the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for improvement, and threats.  Training usually begins with organizational leadership and cascades throughout the organization.  Leadership is trained first so they are better able to act as mentors of newly learned practices and skills.  This is also a very effective trust-building mechanism because organizational leadership is able to “walk the talk.”  Training is delivered in an action-oriented fashion, and all training materials have auditable outcomes that are directly related to the success of the business.

The CSI approach to training includes a systematic program with training modules that direct a company step-by-step through team process education and development.  This approach is unique on three different points.  First, CSI’s comprehensive training sessions, materials, and processes are based in actual published experience with self-managed team implementation.  Second, CSI requires the class participants, as a team, to design and develop their own processes within pre-established achievement parameters and then implement the processes directly following the training.  By developing their own team processes, members are much more likely to support those processes. 

The third difference in the CSI training program is that the training outcomes of the training modules are auditable.  With the aid of periodic audits, leadership and teams are able to determine the level of success of team implementation as well as areas in need of development.  The team process and procedural audits ensure reinforcement of self-sustaining teams and a consistent business focus within the organization.  CSI training programs can be delivered in a variety of ways including CSI Led, Train-the-Trainer, and Off the Shelf.
