Level4 Group

Most organizations spend considerable time, energy and money addressing the surface behaviors of their problems and try to change them from there. An example might be making a slow and costly manufacturing operations more efficient and streamlined by creating a "just in time" inventory system rather than asking: "Should we be in the business of manufacturing at all... can others do this for us cheaper and better?" This is like adding an extra aileron to compensate for a poorly designed aircraft wing rather than fundamentally redesigning the airplane, or even better determining whether flying is the appropriate solution for the problem.

At Level4 we understand that underlying "systems" are at the root of most organizational disfunction, and addressing the disfunction is only a small part of the solution.

When we consult for organization effectiveness we ask the fundamental questions which yield deep and profound insights... insights which often are missed or overlooked when you are merely problem solving.

We like to think we help your organization create new levels of value, rather than solve old problems.
