Bench International’s unique, strategic alliances present a powerful resource for clients interested in strengthening their competitive advantage.
ALIGN A Management Forum
Bench’s ALIGN program is custom-designed to address the critical interpersonal and business issues affecting your organization’s bottom line. When change, challenge or crisis threaten the stability of a company, ALIGN’s management forums literally comes to the rescue. Our customized tools and experienced facilitators guide participants through a three-stage process toward strategies for understanding and building relationships, discovering shared principles and purposes, and creating logical strategies for optimum adjustment. Following confidential interviews, participants discuss ALIGN’s findings on the major emergent themes and issue statements.
ALIGN develops from our alliance with McDargh Communications, a firm specializing in the creation of systems, processes and practices that maximize performance potential. This unprecedented blending of two consulting firms, each with different yet compatible skill sets and experiences, brings over 40 years of comparative intelligence of “what works” and “what doesn’t.” We are also able to blend this knowledge with superior “human” technologies related to communication, team-building and creativity.
