Visionary leaders hire Wheelhouse Group to help them achieve game-changing (and potentially career-defining) business and technology changes
Our clients drive complex, enterprise-wide business and technology transformation. They know that even the most promising vision will never be achieved without enthusiastic, prepared people and well-run programs. That’s where we come in.
We move organizations from Reluctance to ResultsTM.
Founded in 2003, Wheelhouse Group is an SBA-certified woman-owned small business (WOSB) headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. We partner with our clients to successfully navigate constant change, improve how individuals and teams function, and continuously improve organizational performance and transformational objectives. Our consultants average over 15 years experience in guiding large business and technology transformations and bring industry-recognized technical and organizational change certifications.
Our specialized expertise helps leaders and their teams embrace and adopt sweeping changes that have broad impact. We do the nuanced work to prepare people at all levels to enthusiastically adopt change and, along the way we openly share our methods so our clients can mature their capabilities and become “better at change.”
The meaning behind our name
Our consultants work as if from the wheelhouse of a tugboat. Just as tugboats are small, powerful vessels that maneuver much larger ships, our teams help clients navigate around challenges and move them safely into open water.
The Method and the Magic
We apply our proven, published methodology, The Method and the Magic, Every Leader’s Guide to Making Transformational Change Happen, that focuses on five key steps to drive the “people side” of change in a cloud context. Our approach guides leaders on how to define the vision, identify and group stakeholders, develop a balanced message, prepare stakeholders and evaluate results to achieve lasting behavioral change.
While our clients are the experts at defining and implementing the solutions, they seek our expertise to ensure that their people are engaged, prepared and onboard. They know that, no matter how big the idea, it will only achieve its full promise with the support of the people who must make it happen.
By focusing on the “people side of change,” we help our clients:
- Successfully adopt critical technologies and associated process changes
- Realize the business benefits from major technology investments
- Enhance the pace and effectiveness of delivery
- Get better at change – by developing a more mature, adaptable organization and leadership capability
Wheelhouse Waypointer™
