Our Alliance Partners

Cross-national consultation:  Europe

Beratergruppe Neuwaldegg is an Austrian consulting, research, and training firm established in 1980.  They are headquartered in Vienna, with offices in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.  The firm has deep and extensive experience and expertise in helping companies with complex change processes, integration of mergers and acquisitions, and general organizational and management development.   Their approach to consultation is similar to and entirely consistent with GLS’s approach, and we are delighted to have them as our principal European ally.  Visit their English language web site at http://www.neuwaldegg.com/index.php?id=63.

 Employee Ownership Issues

We work closely with Ownership Associates, Inc. in cases where employee ownership of the company is at issue.  Ownership Associates is a consulting firm that provides strategic and technical advice to groups exploring employee ownership.  Clients include closely-held firms evaluating succession plans for company owners, and larger firms considering spin-offs of divisions to employee ownership.  OA’s expertise includes ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans), cooperatives, and stock options.  Their consulting services include transaction design, organizational assessment, tools for participative decision making, and training programs concerning various aspects of employee ownership.  Visit their site at www.ownershipassociates.com.

Diagnostic and Survey Tools

While GLS Consulting designs and analyzes customized surveys and other measurement instruments, we have also created a useful strategic alliance with Cirillo Consulting and Infotool, Inc. Cirillo Consulting uses both traditional organizational diagnostic tools and cutting edge e-survey technology that is designed to help clients improve and align the key elements of their organization: their business strategy, customers, employees, and internal processes. Cirillo Consulting uses proven behavioral science research methods to design and administer organizational climate, employee satisfaction, and customer loyalty surveys that reveal the vital interplay between alignment and success, or misalignment and challenges. These methods help GLS and its clients design interventions that not only address and solve issues, but also make changes that improve human resources, business, and market performance.
