Work with Joe

Consulting With The Change Project

If you’re here, you’re thinking about the future. You may be ready for something different: A “big think” about the deep forces affecting your organization, your markets, and your workforce, and the best strategies for dealing with them.

Joe Flower has visited, studied, and profiled healthcare organizations for 30 years.  He has consulted with organizations inside and outside healthcare to help them understand and navigate the changes in their environment. His clients are as diverse as they could possibly be, from Airbus, ArianeSpace and their parent company EADS to the Hare Krishna movement, from the government of China to the World Health Organization to the U.S. Department of Defense.

To get at the core issues, Flower interviewed and profiled more than 60 of the prime change “gurus” of our times, from Jim Collins and Peter Drucker to Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Peter Senge, and Michael Porter.  This unique meta-analysis provides a framework for his continued study of how complex systems evolve or collapse.

Flower went further, to the experiential level, to the study of martial arts, achieving a black belt in Ueshiba Aikido.  His knowledge and experience take Flower, inevitably, to the Big Picture and to finding the most practical and efficient interventions.

Jennifer Nash Flower, Ph.D., brings the internal and behavioral perspective to the table. A psychologist and psychoanalyst, trained at the University of Massachusetts, in the Harvard hospitals, and at the William Alanson White Institute in Manhattan, she brings to bear her powerful insights into, especially, the barriers to change and then the path through, what sustains you and your team on that path that starts at what you intend to do and and leads through the question, “What Will You Really Do?” (her upcoming book).

Together they will design with you a consulting process unique to your organization that will help you:

  • Clarify your goals
  • Re-design your strategy
  • Create new specific initiatives to drive the strategy
  • Simplify your efforts to clear away obstacles and create more functional structures to get you where you want to go.
