“Individuals and organizations waste enormous amounts of time and resources because they lack tools, skills, and processes in three key areas: negotiating differences and opportunities (such as mergers), leading and implementing change, and building and maintaining strategic relationships. We created Ki ThoughtBridge to end this waste.
Using Ki ThoughtBridge's considerable intellectual property, we've helped two organizations with very different cultures merge successfully; helped public sector and private sector organizations reach agreement on potentially contentious labor contracts; and helped a group of leaders whose task is to bring major change to their health care institutions work effectively as a team. We've saved our clients enormous amounts of time and money, and most importantly, we have helped them maximize the potential benefits of each deal and build the relationships necessary to implement the agreements and changes they need to achieve their goals.”
