The aim of the following pages are to provide information on the strategic approach applicable to various organizational situations: from small companies to large organizations, from public bodies to private structures.

Strategic Coaching and Corporate Consulting (S3C) is a group of New York psychotherapists affiliated with the Strategic Therapy Center in Arezzo, Italy (directed by Giorgio Nardone), who operate as consultants, coaches and trainers for companies, businesses, organizations, human resource services or with individual managers, workers and entrepreneurs.

The strategic approach in the corporate area

Operational effectiveness and efficiency represent the basis on which we evaluate consultants and managers called in by companies to provide answers, to solve organizational problems, to find solutions and strategies. It is with this same effectiveness (or finding the solution to the problem or reaching a goal) and efficiency (producing the maximum result in a short time and with a minimum effort and cost) that we measure the approach of communication and strategic problem solving in an organizational and company environment.

By developing and integrating various theoretic paradigms, the strategic approach helps and supports the people who work within organizations to produce significant changes, to reach precise targets, or to transform inadequate situations.

Thanks to the use of persuasive communication and advanced techniques in problem solving, the strategic approach, characterized as process guidance, is capable of helping managers and staff to generate “virtuous spirals” where once existed “vicious spirals”.
In the wake of the ancient art of solving complicated problems by means of apparently simple solutions, strategic consulting represents a guide in the prevention and treatment of dangers that often mine the journey towards success for companies and organizations.

The strategic approach has been applied to the business area in more than a hundred of different cases and the percentage of client satisfaction attributable to the objectives having been achieved exceeds 90%.The interventions have been realized on a large variety or companies and organizations, ranging from huge organizations, like the Italian Army, (G. Nardone, R. Mariotti, R. Milanese, A. Fiorenza (2000), Healing company pathologies) to small or mid-size companies, to coaching of individual entrepreneurs and top managers.

Starting with the premise that the only possible verification of an instrument is its operational efficiency, the success of the application of the communication and strategic problem solving model in various organizational situations (from small companies to large organizations, from financial systems to non-profits systems, from co-operatives to military structures) is fundamentally based on the flexibility and adaptability of this model that is capable of uniting methodological rigor and creativity, experience and innovation, the application of strategies and the ability of self-correction to achieve the solution to problems or desired goal.

One of the circumstances that organizations are increasingly, is the necessity to adapt to cultural and operational changes. Strategic Coaching and Corporate Consulting offers not only a theoretical approach, but also a pragmatic and efficient one, to help and prepare the “agents of change” (directors, managers, work teams, managers of structures and groups) and to face the challenges of the future and new development prospects.

It is now common opinion that the problem-solving process must be implemented at all levels of an organization (from the front- line to the business leader) and that difficult decision making is almost exclusively reserved for managers. Managers and leaders must therefore develop appropriate communication tools to enhance motivation, communication strategic direction and actions, and ensure commitment to its implementation and compliance from the entire organization. This is the reason why, leadership roles, decision making activities, problem solving capability, and communication skills cannot be faced separately and occasionally but require a strategic approach that takes into consideration the entire system and not only the mere sum of its parts.
