The Napa Group assists organizations in incorporating flexible talent – qualified staff and volunteers – for greater productivity and coaches individuals to become successful contributors in this new
post-recession workforce.
The workforce is changing. A wave of Baby Boomer retirements will leave significant gaps in talent, expertise and leadership. And, as the economy recovers, the “contingent workforce” is growing – positions that can be added or discarded quickly to meet fluctuations in business demand.This has resulted in a tremendous demand for individual talent, especially the proven, experienced professional who brings a strong track record of delivering results. Future positions in a flexible workforce will require technical and analytical skills as well as a blending of the softer capacities such as strategy development, people management and marketing.
The Napa Group works with for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations to reshape structures and systems and create formal approaches that take advantage of this pool of expertise for enhanced productivity at lower costs. This comprehensive approach includes deciding where and how to invest, developing management strategies, building collaboration and teamwork, supporting leadership growth and ensuring mutual satisfaction.
Our executive coaching program counsels experienced individual professionals to understand their capabilities, strengths, weaknesses and strategic value and from there, to identify and articulate their job skills and value proposition. These capabilities will also equip “individual contributors” to adapt the way they market themselves to various situations and move successfully from organization to organization.
