Lemmis Organizational Architecture was created out of frustration with over-layered companies suffering from poor employee engagement, unhealthy organizational culture, and a general lack of visibility regarding how an individual's role contributes to the overall mission of the company.
Organizational culture is fundamentally about how people collaborate to accomplish tasks, while employee engagement reflects the connectedness we feel when we understand how our work impacts the bigger picture. Indeed, engagement is essential for fostering a healthy culture.
I discovered the solution in the works of Benjamin Bloom and Abraham Maslow. Bloom’s work reveals a system of job competencies and HR organizational design, effectively mapping out the company ladder. Maslow offers insights into the engagement aspect and the pathways to climb that ladder. It’s a proven approach, and I’m here to help you implement it.
I am passionate about applying my model and facilitating transformation within organizational culture. I prefer not to make this my full-time job and will keep my client list confidential. To protect your competitive advantage, I only accept one client per industry, ensuring I won’t work with your competitors.
