Strategic Alignment & Organizational Effectiveness

Strategic Alignment Connects Strategy with Execution

When you need support for high-level planning sessions, our team provides both facilitation skills and candid advisement.

Though executive-level work sessions, talent reviews, compensation planning, change management, communications mapping, and functional design discussions, we ensure your operations and leadership development investments directly advance your business priorities. We surface the right questions and speak into issues to ensure we say what needs to be said, not just what you want to hear.

Strategic Vision, Leadership & Accountability

While your strategic vision inspires, your leadership fromework allows for that inspiration to be executed efficiently.

Our consultants help establish a leadership framework for accountability, effective span of control, and clear reporting lines. We help your leaders bridge the gap between optimizing daily operations and keeping strategic long-term objectives in focus. Our team ensures your organization’s structure, leadership resources, and strategy are all aligned to meet your organization’s specific needs.

Organizational Initiatives that Drive Profitability

Our constulants’ contributions to your strategic planning connect your long-term vision to daily actions, ensuring your priorities, plans, and execution all directly support your overarching strategic goals.

This covers a wide range of topics, including:

Organizational Talent Reviews

Across each level of your leadership, and within specific functional teams, our talented consultants leverage multiple workstreams, toolkits, and methodologies to conduct “people reviews” to assess skills, strengths, gaps, cross-utilization targets, and developmental needs.

Mission Critical Roles

Your organization’s depth of subject matter expertise is impaced by planned retirements as well as sudden departures. When unique, mission critical competencies belong to one team member, that role becomes a single point of failure. We’ll guide your succession plans to position and equip alternative team members.

Organizational Communications

We work to improve communications channels and messages to ensure that “what” and “why it matters” is cascaded to all levels. This includes introducing methods to surface and utilize candid feedback. Throughour techniques and guidance, we make it safe for employees to voice concerns, confirm assumptions, and resolve role ambiguity.

Critical Path Decisions

When a decision carries high stakes, opposing points of view, and strong emotions, the weight of the decision can cause leadership teams to stall, procrastinate, and compromise cultural standards. Our consultants provide the guidance and practical coaching needed to help your leaders make critical decisions in alignment with your values.

Strategic Leadership Through Delegation

Our team helps guide your leaders toward effective delegation as a catalyst to increase their capacity and ability to work at the right level. As we help leaders move away from micromanagement and toward raising up capable and trusted points of delegation, their strategic impact expands.

Change Management

Our team provides multi-level communications planning and project management support for major initiatives including organizational restructuring, change of ownership, executive-level changes, systems implementations, mergers & acquisitions, and post-merger assimilation.

Functional Assessments

Achilles Group helps identify how the overall work of the business is distributed across your collective leadership team and highlights factors that enable efficient, profitable, and sustainable divisionss of labor and resource allocation. In addition to working with your executive team, departmental/divisional management, and frontline leaders, our consultants also provide in-depth triage of your HR function if needed.

Compensation Review

Our HR consultants provide assessment and guidance on compensation philosophy and incentives to map out pay ranges, pay grades, variable pay, sales commissions, discretionary bonus plans, merit increases, and pay practices. We’ll work with you to improve alignment with strategic objectives and design best-fit compensation models, including plan documents and roll-out communications.

The Achilles Team Has Been Vitally Important Given The Many Dynamics Of HR

We started out as a new company in 2020 that emerged from a group of experienced leaders and employees in the flight services industry. We knew we needed HR support through a real partner so we would not have to figure things out on our own, and we were not going to bring that function in-house. The Achilles team has been vitally important given the many dynamics to HR. It’s reassuring and gives us the confidence that our questions, issues, and problems will be resolved.

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing, and we didn’t know how to get there. We worried about many HR topics like compliance gaps, records retention, how to on-board new employees, and how to develop our leaders. Achilles not only guided in all those areas, but they spent a lot of time with us and provided the manpower needed to take that burden off our shoulders. It would have been very difficult to accomplish all this from a time standpoint without their team involved.
