Join Our Mailing List	McCarthy Consulting Group partners with clients to explore the personal and organizational challenges and opportunities that come with the pressure for continuous growth, larger profit margins, improved and consistent workforce performance, and increased customer loyalty. But, so do many other management consulting firms. What is unique about our approach is we focus more attention, passion, and expertise on supporting our clients during the critical application phase of the performance improvement process.
	There is an axiom that states "a good strategy implemented well will outperform a great strategy that is hard to implement." Most of us have seen or experienced great ideas that never seemed to deliver on the promises they held. We believe the possibilities, the benefits, and the challenges of performance improvement initiatives exist in the application. Our main objective is to help our clients translate the theories and concepts of performance improvement into practical actions and processes that be consistently applied to deliver the results they desire. Because of the abundance of theories and concepts readily available that may help an individual or organization improve performance it is our responsibility to help our clients match the right strategy with their unique needs. The urgency felt by leaders and organizations to rapidly and continuously improve performance drives them to become increasingly focused on finding quick "technical" solutions to challenges without sufficient consideration for the "adaptive" solutions to support the intended outcomes. A "technical" solution implies that the answer to the issue already exists and the leader or organization simply needs to find the right structure, institute the right procedure, or acquire the right tool. An "adaptive" solution implies that the desired improvement in performance and results lie in "adapting" underlying behaviors, attitudes, and dynamics within the organization. In our approach we help our clients combine the available "technical" solutions and the necessary "adaptive" solutions in order to deliver a higher return on investment and more sustained results. A common criticism of organizational consulting is that the positive effects are generally not sustainable. We believe that criticism exists because many consulting engagements focus on an event or few development steps without supporting the application of learning over time. As an engagement progresses our passionate focus on application through 'in the moment' opportunities for practice, feedback, and reinforcement ensures there will be structures and processes in place to maintain the momentum generated during our engagement. From exploration and agreement on concerns and problems to the realization of targeted results, our experience and expertise enables us to 'adapt' with our clients. The activities at each stage of our approach are chosen and customized to meet our client's unique and specific needs.
