THE TABLE GROUP, A PATRICK LENCIONI COMPANY, EXPANDS ITS CONSULTING SERVICES

(Lafayette, CA)—The Table Group, a Patrick Lencioni Company, has increased its consulting offerings via partner consultants. This select group of trained independent consultants works with teams and their leaders to improve organizational effectiveness using Lencioni’s books and products. Formerly called Affiliates, several members of this group have been consulting using The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Lencioni’s other materials for over two years and have serviced clients ranging from international high-tech companies to small US manufacturing companies to non-profits to government service agencies. Consultants are spread throughout the United States and Canada servicing companies and teams of all levels and industries.

Patrick Lencioni is the best-selling author of six books, including the longstanding New York Times Best-Seller, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. Lencioni, and his firm, The Table Group, have been consulting around the models outlined in Lencioni’s books for nearly 10 years. Lencioni and his VP Consulting, Jeff Gibson, have worked with hundreds of executive teams with clients such as Southwest Airlines, Cox Communications, Visa, and Washington Mutual.

The Table Group’s desire to expose teams of all levels to the benefits of the Five Dysfunctions methodology and its unique consulting approach led the company to seek-out other individuals qualified to consult on the material. The Table Group Consulting Partners are the only official consultants for Patrick Lencioni’s methodologies. One consulting partner client, Bruce MacDonald, CEO of OSI Electronics, states, “Our Table Group consultant was terrific. Her facilitation skills, depth of experience and command of Lencioni’s material was fantastic. We have seen tangible benefits already and are continuing to work with her.”

The hallmark offering for the consulting partners is the two-day Table Group Leadership Team Offsite. During this fast paced session, a team can expect to: better understand the requirements of a high performing team; build trust; learn how to have productive ideological conflict; gain clarity around the organization’s purpose, strategy and goals; ensure alignment; and gain a sense of momentum, energy and enthusiasm for the future. Stephan Lacor, consulting partner client and General Manager of ThyssenKrupp Stainless NA, stated, “I was amazed at how much progress we were able to make in just two days. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team offsite made a tremendous impact on the cohesiveness of my leadership team.”
