Offerings
Offerings
We work with industry leaders and dynamic start-ups, organizations in crisis, organizations in limbo, and organizations that want to breathe new life into their future. Every client is unique, so every course of action is unique. What Refinery offerings are right for you? That depends on how great you want to be.
Management Simulations
Simulation-based learning helps developing leaders explore the connection between management concepts and personal behaviour patterns. We have extensive experience designing and delivering business and leadership simulations for groups as small as 10 and as big as 100. While we often refer to them as “serious play,” be assured these simulations are more than games; they are laboratories for self-development and real organizational change.
Executive Development
Our own primary research on executive leadership confirms what extensive experience tells us: few executives have an accurate view of how their leadership abilities truly measure up. In most organizations, rigorous leadership diagnosis and development is needed. Our work at the senior leadership level is a combination of diagnostics, facilitation and coaching programs that put executive teams on the path to exceptional performance.

Total Leadership
When it comes to leadership and management development, piecemeal and unstructured activities cannot produce meaningful results. Organizations that approach development as a strategic imperative, on the other hand, can reap tremendous value and benefits. Our Total Leadership offering is exactly that. If your organization has the desire and commitment to drive true change and organizational performance, we have the holistic, strategic approach that works.
Talent Strategy
Where are the good succession candidates? How do we build a high performance culture? Is the way we evaluate performance still relevant? Finding, keeping and managing talented workers has never been so challenging, perhaps more so for all the talent management models to choose from. The Refinery approach combines current research, time-tested strategies for creating high-performing teams, and your organization’ values and vision. The result is a talent management model that is truly yours.
Change Strategy
Like it or not, change is a fact of business; it’s how organizations manage change that sets them apart. The Refinery change model follows change pioneer Kurt Lewin’s proven three-step process: shake things up, move people, re-enforce the new reality. We won’t tell you that change is simple or easy. We will work with you to create a thoughtful, systematic approach that minimizes losses and significantly increases the chance for success.
