Consulting
As markets shift faster and faster, the traditional approaches to leadership, business growth, managing employees and organizational design simply don't work anymore. Welcome to the 'new normal', where executives and employees must be more culturally competent with themselves and the marketplace to find their footing in the increasingly fast-shifting global landscape.
Glenn Llopis Group (GLG) focuses on helping both individuals and teams at all levels of the organization to define their roles more clearly and finding more innovative ways to enable higher levels of performance. Performance increases when individuals and teams can begin to see opportunities everywhere, anticipate crisis and manage change, unleash their passion, innovate with an entrepreneurial attitude, work with a generous purpose and embrace their culture promise. Working with GLG, your organization will learn to organically reinvent itself to be able to thrive in any business climate.
Executive Coaching
Glenn's executive coaching programs offer support and extensive leadership work with individuals who want to up their game and stretch their competencies. Today, industries of every stripe are buffeted by a sense of uncertainty. Even for those whose lives seem secure, cynicism in today's workplace cultures can make planning beyond tomorrow – much less, plotting an effective long term career strategy – seem like an exercise in futility. Glenn has designed individual and executive coaching programs on the idea that adversity primarily reveals character and defines opportunity. He seeks to teach clients how to see and seize opportunity more abundantly than ever before. He guides leaders to adopt the immigrant mentality (learn more from Mr. Llopis' Harvard Business Review article).
Unlock Opportunities for Business by
Enabling Culture as a Competitive Advantage
The workplace and business landscapes have changed, becoming rapidly more diverse and global, and American business leadership is not moving fast enough to catch up. In fact, leadership in America's corporations is losing its impact and influence to perform in this changing terrain. As a result, U.S. businesses risk falling further behind in marketplaces around the world. Many of the dimensions of the changing competitive landscape are well known – the varying cost of labor, the shift of manufacturing overseas, the exploding economies of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries – but what is less well understood is the role that cultural competence plays in both the marketplace and in the competitive advantages BRIC companies and others enjoy.
What are corporations to do in order to fully embrace this rapid demographic shift that is upon us? Diversity and Inclusion must transition from being managed as a traditional cost center (expense) to being lead as a profit center (investment) for enterprise to flourish. Those organizations that make this commitment will soon find themselves winning the war on talent and market share for their products, services and brands. They will dominate their industry and positively impact their bottom line for several years to come.
This conversation begins in the C-suite, whose leaders must be more proactive and informed with the requirements to build new relationships for their business that demands cultural competence and an approach to win over their most valuable assets: employees, clients and consumers.
GLG will work with your organization and its senior leaders to design a corporate growth model that focuses on a cultural competency model that approaches talent and business development as interdependent functions to seize opportunities previously unseen in their industry. This engagement focuses on implementing the following model for your business:
We recommend to organizations in search of:
- Leadership and Management Development
- Cultural Competency / Engagement
- Workplace Innovation
- Sales Growth / New Business Development
- Channel Strategy
- Business Transformation
- Partnership Development / Supply Chain Management
Utilize Personal Employee Branding
to Enable Business Growth
This 18-24 month proprietary program will help organizations create personal employee brands in the workplace to drive business growth.
GLG will integrate the 8-step process into your company that is featured in Glenn's ebook, Why Personal Employee Branding will Save Your Career and Your Workplace, in order to create growth and innovation at all levels of your organization.
The new workplace requires its employees to be more transparent, trustworthy, purposeful and innovation-minded than ever before. One natural outgrowth of this change is that people have to take charge of their own personal brands. Their new job description is to always make their personal brands contribute to corporate growth.
Organizations, for their part, must ensure that their employees' voices are heard. Organizations must view their employees as brand assets and extensions of their corporate brands — and remain open to innovation and growth wherever it comes from.
We recommend to organizations in search of:
- Leadership and Management Development
- Innovation
- Sales Growth
- Business Strategy
- Employee Resource Group (ERG) Productivity
- Partnership Development / Supply Chain Management
Diversity Management is the Key to Growth:
Make it Authentic
Diversity management is the key to growth in today's fiercely competitive marketplaces around the world. Organizations that seek global market relevancy must embrace true diversity – in how they think, act and innovate. Diversity should not just be about making the numbers, but about how an organization treats its people authentically in every aspect of human interconnection. Diversity management is a time-sensitive business imperative.
GLG will give your diversity strategy a comprehensive reboot that more effectively measures ROI. We work with your executives, functional and departmental team leaders and employee resource groups to identify what diversity means to your brand and to your entire organization. We also examine the competitive landscape of diversity in your industry and its influence across the supply chain for your products and services. We then guide your leaders how to best utilize diversity as a vehicle to fuel business growth, from planning through implementation.
This 18-24 month program focuses on designing optimal diversity management protocols and methodology that will allow diversity to have a more meaningful role in your organization.
We recommend this program for organizations seeking to:
- Capture business growth through diversity management
- Increase the impact of cultural intelligence on your business
- Fuel business growth
- Facilitate brand expansion
- Enhance Employee Resource Group (ERG) productivity
Embrace the New Workplace to Supercharge
an Innovation-Minded Workforce
What will the new workplace look like? The outlines are already clear in the demands that millennials are making on the companies that they are willing to work for – and the kinds of companies that they are creating:
- They want a community environment
- They want a new kind of trust, not trust based on a patriarchy, but a trust based on clarity, consistency, and contract
- They want to devote their talents to a particular organization for only as long as they remain relevant
- They want Facebook
How can organizations and its people learn to succeed in this new short-term, talent-based, virtual, rapid-paced, trust-demanding world of work? A workplace that will be more mobile, more transient, more flexible, more diverse, more entrepreneurial and more individual focused than ever before? A workplace that encourages individuals to create new types of opportunities for the betterment of a healthier whole?
GLG's proprietary Workplace Opportunity Mastery methodology, inspired by Glenn's book, Earning Serendipity: 4 Skills for Creating and Sustaining Good Fortune in Your Work, guides your organization to reinvent the workplace from a top-down hierarchy to a flatter, more entrepreneurial, high-performance, growth- and sustainability-driven culture.
This 18-24 month program focuses on designing a workplace that is more democratic and more transparent; where leaders must touch the business just as much as they lead it.
We recommend to organizations in search of:
- Workplace Culture and Organizational Effectiveness
- Leadership and Management Development
- Employee Branding
- Innovation
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Business Strategy
