Strategic Planning

Combining traditional strategic planning with the Centergy™ process of uncompromising organizational assessment delivers powerful results: improved group development, mentoring, learning and decision making. Cloud-Rainosek & Associates assesses the operational and financial systems to ensure they align with the strategic goals and values of the organization.

Needs Assessment

The Centergy™ process in an organization can begin with a comprehensive needs assessment. The goal is to honestly analyze the components that impact the system and the people in it.

Seven elements are key. Each must be examined in the context of how it affects the others.

• Purposes
  Cloud-Rainosek & Associates searches for the areas of lost opportunity caused by vision, mission, value and/or goal statements out of sync with the reality of how organizations truly operate.
• Structure
  Problems occur when leaders believe they support participatory systems of management, yet their employees feel stifled by a management structure that they perceive as too rigid and dictatorial.
• Relationships
  In order for organizations to have credibility with their employees, all relationships need to be transparent. Secret alliances with phantom decision-making are a pox upon organizations.
• Incentives & Consequences
  At this level, Cloud-Rainosek & Associates examines the degree of effectiveness of accountability.
• Facilitators of Learning
  Credibility, consistency, integrity, compassion. Qualities such as these are essential for collaborating with others in the learning process.
• Helpful Mechanisms
  Re-aligning policies and procedures with what really happens in the daily life of an organization is the key to the impact of Cloud-Rainosek & Associates in this area.
• Environment
  A focus on the internal environment and how well it supports the process of growth is the first part of assessing opportunities for change. Equally important are the external environments. For instance, the manner in which a company allows customers and clients to interact with employees is critical to ensuring that a healthy balance exists between the two environments.

Behavioral Assessments

Cloud-Rainosek & Associates has developed assessments that help individuals determine their own habitual patterns of behavior. Our assessments offer individuals an opportunity to connect with behaviors that limit their own lives and their relationships with others. By helping people to recognize and and change behaviors that block them, these individuals lead fulfilling lives and make significant contributions in the workplace, with their families, and in their communities. We include assessments for the following areas:

• Clutter and Disorganization
