Larson & Associates are those rare business partners who can be both strategic and tactical. They help you craft your vision, see the connection points between the work and other business processes and then bring it to life on time and on budget.
Read MoreI have known and worked with the Larsons as a fellow OD practitioner for 15 years - first at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and then at Levis Strauss & Co. They are one of those rare OD consultancies who are extremely strategic as well as brilliant at execution. They have an excellent way of simplifying concepts to make them accessible and useable for clients, meeting them at their level of maturity/sophistication around OD. I cannot recommend Larson & Associates highly enough for the full scope of OD and OE work. Any client would be lucky to get them.
