The Operating Model At the core, every business is defined by three essential elements: its business strategy, its management infrastructure, and the collective and individual behavior of its people. This is true regardless of the company’s size, industry or geographical location. At The Clarion Group, we’ve termed this triad of organizational imperatives the Operating Model. When all three elements align, a business can realize its fullest potential. Using the Operating Model as a blueprint, together with conceptual frameworks and assessment tools, we work collaboratively with our clients to analyze challenges and define effective, customized solutions. The Clarion Group offers a full range of advisory services to support organizational transformation and leadership development at the executive level.

Business Strategy An organization’s Business Strategy should be the one directional constant in an environment of continuous change. At The Clarion Group, we’ve developed a methodology based on proven models to help leaders clarify and define their strategic intent. This serves as the beacon to not only set the direction for long-term results, but also provide illumination when course corrections become necessary. Management Infrastructure Management Infrastructure is the framework that enables the Business Strategy to succeed. It establishes the rules that govern decision making, business planning, and priority-setting. It also clarifies the required structure, defines roles and establishes work processes. We help leaders align their organization’s Management Infrastructure to support the Business Strategy and reinforce desired behavior in constantly changing environments. Organizational Behavior Organizational Behavior deals with the human side of the business equation. It embodies an organization’s values and beliefs, and defines how people must act in order to support the Business Strategy. Our unique approach helps clients achieve the personal and organizational behavioral alignment that leads to high impact results.
