Auburn
Group is a small privately held and tightly focused company founded
in 1986 and specializing in organization development and customized
training for organizations that have science or technology as their
basis. There are currently eight professional consultants/trainers
acting as senior associates of Auburn Group. Most of our staff are
experienced and credentialed behavioral scientists. In addition,
we have developed a network of trusted specialists to provide support
as sub-contractors. |

| We
use behavioral science to create focused, self-correcting organizations.
Our objectives are to help the managers and employees of the organization remove impediments to efficient productivity, identify and reinforce strengths, and take care of the workforce. |

Normally, we use a four step process to take a systematic look at the organization, analyze the data in order to plan action (and confer with our clients about their own ideas and involvement), take necessary action, and then follow up to evaluate your progress. Our interventions may include a combination of restructuring, renegotiating contracts, management and leadership coaching and training, conflict resolution, strategic planning, community- and team-building, role clarification and organizational communication improvement actions, to name a few examples Auburn Group is unique in at least four respects: | |
|
||
• We focus on organizations that have science or technology at their core, with some exceptions and our intent in all cases is to leave the organization with the skills to be totally independent. • We are small, agile and independent by design, and tend to reduce wasted time in unnecessary assessments and superficial actions to a minimum. • Every project is assigned to one or more senior associates/partners in the company. This means that less experienced people who are being mentored might accompany the senior person on-site, but they are never left with the sole responsibility of providing Auburn Group services. This also means that there is direct access from the organizational work site to the entire Auburn Group staff, a significant resource in terms of experience and insight. • We are not associated with the producers/publishers of training books and tapes or other proprietary products. We design or adapt training specifically for our clients’ needs and there is never an addition charge for the client to continue using the material on their own within the client organization. In fact, we encourage our clients to assign an internal person that we will train to present the materials independent of our participation, as a standard part of our role. |

Auburn Group has succeeded due to a candid, competent, common sense approach to organization development, tightly focused on a very specific type of client base. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving additional information. |
