The Woodland Group Team has created value for over 100 companies across the nation and internationally. Here are a few examples of the type of work our collaborative team has accomplished.

• Created an integrated, practical and grounded Leadership Development program that spans as much as a year. This program was attended by a variety of industries such as Health Care, High Tech, Manufacturing, Banking, Education, Utilities and Public Service to name a few. Formal presentations are conducted for the executive leadership of the respective company.

• A High Tech company in Texas requested a Leadership Development program for its employees from across the nation. This intensive week long program challenged and, according to the evaluations, catapulted their leadership understanding and capacity to a new level. Each attendee had to conduct a formal presentation to address his/her leadership challenges and, from a systems level, map out effective strategies which were share with their upper management.

• A CEO concerned about his longer term vision, his employees' satisfaction and the future of the company's future leadership engaged TWG to assess, survey, interview, analyze, report and work with the corporation to create its own future in a purposeful and planned way with direct employee input.

• A group of engineers at a global manufacturing company was unable to work effectively with other groups within the company. TWG was engaged to create effective working relationships between the engineers and their internal customers.

• A local chapter of a national non-profit organization was in a crisis mode of not having direction and was suffering from less than effective leadership. TWG was called in to conduct a survey, assess the situation and work with the board of directors and other stake holders to affect and plan needed and appropriate change.

• A Police Department in a large New England city needed a practical and effective Leadership Development program for its police officers. Beginning with an assessment and having the group be part of the creation of the learning content and process afforded committed learning. The police officers ended the program with presentations that shared their planned leadership development and effective change strategies for their spheres of responsibility.

• A global manufacturing company which is one of the oldest companies in the world sent some of its leaders to several sessions taught by TWG. In those sessions, leaders were taught Coaching, Mentoring, Personality Profile relative to Leadership, Systems Thinking and Discipline.

• A large east coast construction company owned by a European corporation has retained TWG for a long term Leadership Development process. TWG works with each region's Leadership Team separately on their local issues with once a quarter the groups coming together to share best practices and deal with more global issues that affect the larger group.

• A general manager for a high tech firm located in Connecticut engaged TWG to help deal with his ever expanding leadership role that causes him to travel extensively. He was concerned about the impact of his expanding role on the communication and interpersonal infrastructure of his direct reports so TWG was hired to craft and facilitate a purposeful and effective process to assess, redesign and implement an employee-driven communication and interpersonal infrastructure.

• A parent company in Ireland has engaged TWG on several occasions to conduct personality profile assessments of prospective employees for its various locations around the world.

• Effective eLearning or "blended learning" strategies have been incorporated into many large and small companies to create more effective and more fully supported learning strategies.

• TWG has contracted with several private and public educational systems to affect change in specific areas of operational and strategic leadership initiatives.
