Unique by Design

Allen and Associates was founded on the philosophy of “unique by design."  Our belief is that all organizations are distinct and both require and respond best when the consultant creates an original design that responds to their uniqueness.  We attract organizations and leaders who are seeking to invent the next generation of organizational effectiveness.

Together we co-create sustainable change and transformation for their organizations.  We work in the intersection between leadership and change.  Our coaching works with positional leaders who are interested in transforming their organization cultures, leadership teams and capacity for innovation.  We see our role, in part, to provoke new thought so the organization can create their unique form of innovation.  The hallmark s of our work is sustainable change that the individuals in the organization own.  Choosing Allen and Associates is the choice that makes a difference to our clients and their aspirations of becoming better.

Allen and Associates is a consulting company doing leadership coaching, organizational development, and cultural change.  We work primarily with non-profit organizations in the fields of human services, higher education and philanthropy.  If you have found this site, it probably means that you are interested in leadership, human development, and organizational development.  I have been doing work around these three topics over the course of my career.
