Key Principles

Three key principles are at the heart of Saltzman Consulting’s practice:

• Partnering With and Empowering Others
  We partner with or coach internal leaders in order to develop the capacity to sustain and leverage the work we do; this includes providing straightforward, documented processes for use as future reference.
• Systems Thinking
  Integral to our work is looking at issues and creating strategies from a whole systems perspective, so clients are aware of how actions in one part of the organization are likely to impact other areas.
• Inclusive Work Environments
  At the core of our work is helping create environments where all organizational members can achieve their best; this entails using high involvement approaches for increasing organization effectiveness.
