GTS: a partner to help groups collaborate on operations and strategic initiatives

Our assessment tool uses the 20 primary predictors of success for collaboration to help you decide if this is the right time and place for collaboration, which primary forces for success you have and what’s missing. GTS can help you shape an action plan based on your community's assets.

Several times a year GTS works with clients on very specific consulting initiatives. These have included assessing training needs and evaluating potential sites (through surveys and focus groups), facilitating local citizen engagement efforts, providing consultants to conduct goal-setting and problem-solving sessions or customer service projects. Each of these efforts involves determining desired outcomes, developing and implementing a plan to accomplish those outcomes, handling logistics and evaluation.

Ready to begin? We can help you choose a proven model for your cooperative, collaboration or consolidation

Our advice is backed by research and best practices. Your collaboration will produce impressive changes if your governance structure is lean, speedy and focused on getting results. GTS helps partnerships document measurable results with a win-win perspective. We can discern low-hanging fruit, helping partners achieve success right off the starting line.

Currently in an alliance that's working for you? An inventory of your partnership's strengths and challenges can be administered, analyzed and returned with a clear set of prescriptions. This is a foundation for improving what you're doing in a partnership or the way your partnership works. GTS can guide you to real-life, real-time problem solutions with direct application as well as nonbiased assistance in implementation.

In a two-hour session, a full-day workshop, or as a coach and resource, GTS offers:

• affordable, non-biased facilitated discussions on site
• options for finding and convening the right people and the right leaders
• results-oriented discussions – not training events.

Our consultants are highly skilled and well respected. Our staff can handle the logistical workload as well by arranging meetings, sending invitations, preparing agendas and materials, and handling follow-up tasks.
