About Effectiveness Consultants

A History of Effectivness Consulting and Organizational Consulting

The original Effectiveness Consultants firm was founded in Sweden in the 1980s by Dr. Richard "Zack" Zackrison. As his son, Eric Zackrison, was working to complete his PhD and begin his own organizational consulting career, it only seemed natural that he pay homage to his father not only in name, but by continuing to grow Effectiveness Consultants' concepts of strengthening relationships through team management training and leadership development.

Our Process

Effectiveness Consultants' team management and management training processes start with a completely free discovery session to find out what your needs are.

Initial Discovery

First we conduct a free discovery session to determine what your needs and whether our organizational consulting offerings can help. If they do, we then propose the right solutions for you.

From management evaluation to conflict resolution activities, Effectiveness Consultants' needs assessment phase determines what od consulting processes you'll benefit from most.

Needs Assessment

Next, we meet with your leadership team to learn more about your organization. Then we conduct interviews, report our findings, and begin our thorough organization assessment process.

Finally, Effectiveness Consultants' action plan implements the team management activities or strategic planning models that will transform your organization permanently.

Action Plan

After your assessment is complete, we facilitate the consulting your organization may require, from team management activities to strategic planning models that build a plan for the future.
