About Us - DIAMOND STRATEGY GROUP

DIAMOND STRATEGY GROUP

Our aim is to develop and support effective leaders through a relentless focus on process

We believe that organizations flourish when they have the best possible processes and systems in place. We also believe that every team deserves to be led by complete leaders who care for their team as individuals.

Our Diamond Process Model is rooted in proven, tried and true military leadership techniques, and we bring our military training to bear in the stressful world of civilian business.

We proudly incorporate the Eagle into our company ethos because of its legacy as a symbol of patriotism, military service, and leadership.

Why

We believe an organization functions best when its three components (Strategic Drivers, Resources and Processes) are in balance AND linked and synched with each other. We help you move your organization from chaos into order, and show you how to keep it in balance. We train your leaders to become “Complete Leaders” who fully understand the processes they lead, achieve their contracted goals, develop their people’s true potential and continually mentor. The result is an organization you are proud to lead and employees who are valued and productive.

What

We provide a full range of consulting services that include retrofixing your entire organization, leadership training, change management, validating strategic drivers, resource integration, linking/synching individuals with strategic drivers, process mapping/flow charting, and more.

How

We use battlefield-tested methods and techniques that bring balance, harmony, structure and results. Our aim is to facilitate an environment where leaders provide clear expectations and develop their skills while guiding, leading, and directing their team’s toward the highest possible achievements. Building on the core Diamond Process Model, we are able to customize our work to fit the nuanced needs of any organization.
