"When your head goes round and round and you fail to decipher what’s creating the noise in your company’s environment, to the point of affecting productivity and results.”

 

Maria is a faithful believer that a company is not what it does, but the sum total of its people. There are some organizations more open to treating their problems in innovative ways or to explore options they may have not considered or known. For those companies who dare to look in the mirror and think differently, Maria’s methodology is the option; it is "the telescope". As the name implies, the telescope sees everything from afar, from another perspective. The telescope will be the eyes on the organization’s walls, with the ability to observe and share relevant information, leaving blind spots exposed.

 

In this non-traditional methodology that Maria uses, she delivers a different perspective, one that reveals the blind spots within the organization, providing insight and relevant information about the cultural, emotional, and team networks within the company. Maria determines the areas and personnel that are generating organizational noise, communication and leadership problems, finding the human roots that are creating performance barriers. This process also identifies personnel with potential that could generate better results in other areas or with some performance or attitude adjustments.

 

This information arms managers so that they can "put their finger" on what and who is generating the noise, which in turn allows them to make high-impact decisions relating to specific personnel management, restructuring, hiring or job terminations. “The telescope” shines a light, a light that facilitates pro-active measures thereby avoiding excessive wear and tear that often comes at a very high cost to the organization. The human network in an organization is like a puzzle - just because all the pieces seem perfect, there is no assurance that they fit.
