ConfluencePoint is a consulting group that works with mid-cap business to build commitment and capacity for sustainability in their operations. We know that without profits, no business can survive. We therefore begin with a careful assessment of our client's financial and managerial capacity and work to enhance the company's profitability as we fold environmental and social values into the continuous improvement training we recommend and provide.
Why would we, a green business consulting firm, start with ways to improve the performance of your business - margins, productivity, employee hiring and retention?
Because that's what works. Cash flow is the lifeblood of your business. Beyond that, of course, your body's blood is not your life's purpose; nor does your cash flow provide the purpose of your business.
Starting with the personal values of your leadership group, employees and other stakeholders to build a vision, your purpose, and continuing into skillful execution via Lean and Continuous Improvement Teams, our Seven-Step approach produces a powerful, cost-effective, rapid and thorough reformation of your company that works, based on:
Proven financial stability
A shared vision of the future
A coherent strategic plan, and
Committed, responsible employees
To climb a mountain, you form a team that can work together. Success depends upon everyone on the mountain sharing the goal and knowing where s/he fits in. To succeed, they meet and talk about their goals, their roles and their commitments before they set out. They cross-train to back one another up and continuously improve their performance. They all commit to success.
ConfluencePoint provides a similar process for your organization - its culture, communications,and commitment - as it sets out to thrive in today's rapidly changing and challenging business world. Using the frameworks you choose for change - The natural Step, TQM, Kaizen, Lean, ISO 14001 or any other - ConfluencePoint ensures that your execution will be skillful, cost-effective, successful and enduring.
The most common obstacle to executing corporate sustainable policies is lack of employee understanding and commitment. The full understanding of goals and measurements will only be as effective and lasting as your culture and values enable it to be. ConfluencePoint matches employee understanding and commitment with financial analysis of new projects to make sustainability real for you.
