Why does organization development matter?

Because thriving organizations are the foundation of thriving communities.

Organizational development isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about addressing the root causes of challenges.

At To the Root Consulting, we help organizations:

  • Redesign decision-making structures to improve clarity and accountability, ensuring that all team members understand their roles and contributions.

  • Facilitate inclusive strategic planning processes that bring diverse voices to the table, fostering alignment and shared purpose.

  • Streamline workflows to reduce bottlenecks and burnout, creating more efficient and resilient systems.

We take an adaptive, systems-level approach to uncover what’s not working within our clients’ organizational structures, building collective capacity to solve problems and achieve their missions more effectively.

Services we provide:

  • We guide organizations through complex transformations, using systems thinking to address root causes and co-create solutions aligned with their values. By incorporating human-centered design, stakeholder mapping, and journey mapping, we ensure change initiatives are inclusive, sustainable, and empower teams to thrive in evolving environments.

  • We help organizations define their vision and create actionable roadmaps through strategic planning rooted in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) principles. Leveraging qualitative and survey research, we ensure strategies are data-informed and reflect the unique needs of the organization while fostering alignment across all levels.

  • We enhance leadership capacity and team effectiveness while refining governance frameworks to promote clarity, accountability, and inclusivity. Through training programs, inclusive facilitation, stakeholder mapping, and qualitative research, we equip teams with skills in communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution. Our approach ensures governance structures and leadership practices align with organizational goals and values, fostering resilient, cohesive teams and effective decision-making.

  • We optimize workflows and design knowledge-sharing frameworks that enhance organizational agility and decision-making. Using systems thinking, journey mapping, and qualitative research, we identify inefficiencies, streamline processes, and create scalable solutions that align with organizational values. Our participatory approach ensures teams can capture and retain critical insights, fostering innovation and building a culture of continuous learning and growth. These integrated systems empower organizations to respond to evolving demands while promoting long-term resilience and success.

  • We offer comprehensive insights into organizational challenges by blending multiple research methods, including qualitative research, survey design, observational studies, and tools like change readiness assessments, baseline studies, and gap analyses. Our approach integrates diverse methodologies to provide a holistic view of your organization, uncovering nuanced dynamics and measuring progress effectively.
