Who We Are - Our Partners

Judge us by the company we keep. Please.
When you begin hiring for fit, your business naturally starts to change. Standards go up, energy rises, results improve… and customers are happier.

Along the way, you’ll learn things about your people and your organization that you didn’t know you didn’t know. One of our clients referred to it as their Knowledge Chain Reaction. We liked that term, so we use it.

Some of these things that you uncover will need attention. You may already have folks you work with; if so, please carry on. If not, we’ve been very deliberate about surrounding ourselves with a small number of trusted partners who share our fit first approach and who do great work:

Engagient - Specialists in measuring employee engagement to identify the issues impacting organizational performance across the company.  Once the assessment is completed, Engagient works with the leadership of the company to identify priorities for change and develop solutions to the issues identified.

FOCUS Management - For more than 20 years, we have worked with leaders to improve business results by facilitating great execution of what matters most in their organizations – in short, by making sure the really important things get done, and done well.

Our services include Strategy Alignment (achieving strategic clarity, alignment and commitment), Organization Alignment (creating personal ownership and commitment to action at the individual level) and Execution Management (making sure that plans are translated into action and then managed through to successful completion).

Our clients include Fortune 500, publicly held corporations, mid-sized business and smaller, owner-managed and family enterprises. Some have recognizable names, like Sobeys, Whirlpool, Electrolux, Moen and Thermos. We are equally proud to have worked with companies like Mattina Mechanical, Atria Networks, Keilhauer and Con Cast Pipe.

Operating out of the Greater Toronto Area, FOCUS provides services to clients throughout Canada and the United States, and we have completed a number of engagements in Mexico and the UK.
