ABOUT US

Aligned Consulting will help you make forward progress in a thoughtful, holistic way. We take the time to align your strategy and your people practices towards your true north. We won’t encourage you to cobble together a patchwork of band-aid approaches that ultimately turn out to be costly. Progress happens so much faster when everyone knows where they are going and can row in the same direction. When your organization is aligned, traction happens, decisions are easier, people are happier because they can see how their contributions bolster your organization’s success.

OUR VALUES

When you work with us, you’ll see our values at work:

AUTHENTICITY

We bring our true, full selves to our work, and we want the same for your employees. We look forward to getting to know you and what makes you and your organization tick. We believe that every employee has a unique set of skills, motivations, and perspectives that energizes them. We believe that by valuing each individual’s authenticity, you will have strong, inclusive teams and dedicated employees.

We’ll work with you in an authentic way. We won’t overpromise, and if we don’t believe we’re a good fit for what you need, we’ll let you know.

CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT

We never want to stop learning. We value the little things we can learn from day to day and put them into practice, to see significant improvements over time. We value learning from mistakes and taking the time to reflect and capture learnings. We integrate curiosity and learning into all that we do.

FOLLOW THROUGH

Many consultants give advice and go. They’re not around to see what’s working or what’s not. They’re long gone when you need support. We’re different.

Implementation is part of our strength. We want you to succeed, and we love to be there to see the successes that will come your way.

Principal

Here's what people say about working with Cindy...

Cindy was extremely easy to work with. Her communication and organizational skills are exceptional. She reported on progress clearly and consistently which gave everyone confidence that the project was being completed timely and with accuracy. She was exceptional at keeping tasks moving and pressing when items fell behind schedule. Because of her background in instructional design, she was even able to provide input on the content review process.

If we ever have a need in the future, Cindy will be the first person I reach out to! She was a godsend.
