MY CONSULTANCY

Founding my consultancy in 1991, I organized a team of consultants dedicated to Building Better Worlds of Work®. THE HOWLAND GROUP® is committed to helping organizations of all sizes successfully navigate the currents of change. As a result of our work, client organizations tend to perform comparatively better than their marketplace counterparts – and they spend less time and money trying to correct regrettable people and business decisions. For more than 25 years our organizational consultants have worked to turn organizational pyramids upside down. The symbol of THE HOWLAND GROUP® – our somersaulting triangles – signifies the process of change, as leaders become stewards at the base of an inverted pyramid supporting the transformation of human capital into enlightened forces of knowledgeable action. As a result of our work, client organizations tend to perform comparatively better than their marketplace counterparts – and they spend less time and money trying to correct regrettable people and business decisions.
