Managance Skills
All of Managance staff and consultants have the same commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of the link between management and performance. All of our lead consultants are gifted facilitators who understand group process, practice active listening, can synthesize information from a group, and are able to draw on experience in helping groups solve problems. In addition, together we offer a complementary set of skills and tools.
Research and Data Analysis
It’s a time–honored fact – knowledge equals power. The more you know, the more effective you are in planning, creating and achieving. At Managance Consulting we:
  • Know where to go to find information whether it is demographic data, marketing information, or critical trends in the field
  • Synthesize data and information from a variety of sources to provide you with the most relevant, important details
  • Design effective surveys, and individual and group interview protocols.
  • Use state–of–the–art technology and innovative methods to gather the most helpful data, especially from your customers
  • Collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data
  • Present that data in easy–to–understand language, including summary charts and graphs
  • Interpret the data with you to determine what it means and how it affects your organization
  • Develop recommendations in response to the data to help strengthen your organization
Our Vice President, Paige Teegarden heads up our research practice.
Diagnosing and Using Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is commonly defined as “the way we do things around here,” the symbols, rituals and unspoken, intangible, but understood energy or spirit at work in an organization. When we think about examples of high performing organizations, a common characteristic is a shared feeling that naturally draws in people to work effectively together. When the culture and people in it are out of sync we often feel there isn’t a good fit.

At Managance Consulting we can help you explore your organizational culture and learn to use it more intentionally in your strategic direction, your day–to–day operations, in your brand, or in defining your organization’s unique value for your customers.

Our President, Denice Rothman Hinden heads up or organizational culture assessment practice. She is a qualified administrator of the Organizational Team Culture Indicator (OTCI), a new diagnostic tool for understanding organizational culture.
Strengthening Groups and Teams
If you work in an organization you’ve had these or similar experiences. You want to keep trying new things but your co–worker is demanding the decision now, or you want to see more hard data before you make a decision and your co–worker just knows this or that decision is the way to go. The differences in your approaches are tied to personality preferences.

At Managance Consulting we can help you understand these differences and use them for the benefit of the group instead of letting them get in the way of your success. We often begin with The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) to help you get to know each member of the group better. This instrument measures personality preference on four scales; Extraversion – Introversion (E – I), Sensing – Intuition (S – N), Thinking – Feeling (T – F), and Judgment – Perception (J – P). Once you have taken the MBTI® you can begin to better understand your individual preferences, and group preferences, and you can use these preferences to strengthen working relationships.

Lead Consultant, Catrese Brown is our certified administrator for the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator.
