Organizational Effectiveness Consulting (OEC) Practice
At POV, our Organizational Effectiveness Consulting (OEC) practice is dedicated to helping organizations improve their performance. We do this by addressing the root causes of inefficiencies and challenges. Our consultants achieve this by:
- Evaluating the overall structure and processes of individual organizational units
- Assessing the capabilities and developmental needs of an organization’s individual leaders or teams
- Gaining consensus on developmental approaches to drive positive outcomes.
Our goal is to help organizations align their strategic and productivity goals with cultural transformations to achieve optimal results. Through a combination of inclusive change management approaches and leadership development interventions, we help organizations improve productivity, work satisfaction, and cultural enhancements. As a result of POV’s consulting, organizational leaders report feeling more engaged in their leadership activities and enjoying better working relationships.
Our OEC consulting practice is focused on producing outcomes that are both measurable and sustainable. At POV, we are committed to helping organizations achieve long-term success through our expertise in organizational effectiveness consulting.

Keeping Space for Leadership
POV Consultants believe it is essential to take time to reflect and think. This time could be used for personal growth and for developing new ideas and perspectives. It's important for leaders to recognize the value of taking a step back and creating space for themselves to think and recharge. This can lead to more creative and innovative solutions to problems and a better understanding of the situations with which they are dealing.
One way to create this space is to schedule time for reflection, either daily or weekly. This can be as simple as setting aside 30 minutes each day to journal, meditate, or go for a walk. It can also involve taking regular breaks throughout the day to disconnect from technology and just “be present in the moment.”
Another way to cultivate this ability is to embrace a growth mindset which means being open to new ideas and ways of thinking. This requires being willing to challenge your own beliefs and assumptions and to seek out different perspectives and opinions. Engaging in continuous learning and seeking out new experiences can also broaden your horizons and give you new insights into the world.
Ultimately, finding time to reflect and think is crucial for personal and professional growth. It's important for leaders to prioritize this in their busy schedules. By taking the time to recharge and think, leaders can approach their work with a fresh perspective, and, be better equipped to tackle challenges in new and innovative ways.
POV consultants help leaders practice the “Keeping Space” model. Our practice in this area is based on the Draper model which focuses on 4 overarching dimensions:
- Space to Think – having the intellectual and psychic freedom to think in a deep way about yourself and the world…
- Space to Connect – having the emotional capacity to share what you have to offer with others, and to accept what they have to offer you…
- Space to Do – prioritizing thoughts that will have a productive impact on the world…
- Space to Be – stepping back and ensuring you are building the kind of life you really want to have…
A leader who hasn’t created such space for themself will be operating in a way that is primarily about just responding only to what is happening around them. According to Draper, “…the leader will be working hard but, in a way, shaped by externalities, not by themselves.”
Leaders who consistently create space, however, take decisive control over their working lives. And while time and energy do have an impact on this, Draper argues “…this is primarily a state of mind.”
