Experienced Guidance for Complex Leadership and Organizational Challenges

Leadership challenges rarely exist in isolation. What appears to be an issue with one executive, a senior team or a people practice is often connected to unclear priorities, decision-making, organizational structure or the demands of growth and change.

Led by Wayne Ormond, Ormond & Associates brings more than 25 years of leadership, coaching and consulting experience to help clients understand what is really happening, make sound decisions and translate those decisions into practical action.

A Practical, Evidence-Based Approach

Our approach combines credible assessment methods, senior-level judgment and practical consulting guidance. This helps clients move beyond the visible symptom, understand the underlying issue and focus on the changes most likely to improve performance.

Evidence-Based Diagnosis

Research and credible assessment methods help distinguish symptoms from root causes and focus attention where it will make the greatest difference.

Senior Leadership Experience

Experience inside complex organizations brings an understanding of consequential decisions, competing priorities and stakeholder expectations.

Practical Follow-Through

Insights are translated into clear decisions, realistic actions and operating practices that leaders can put into use.

Experience Across Leadership, Teams and Organizations

Wayne and the Ormond & Associates team bring experience across executive coaching and assessment, senior-team effectiveness, organizational design and role clarity, talent and succession, and organizational change.

We have supported leaders and organizations across energy, mining, utilities, healthcare, construction, engineering, telecommunications, technology, professional services, education, government and the non-profit sector.

An Experienced Consulting Team

Wayne leads every engagement and brings in selected senior associates when specialized expertise, additional capacity or multiple facilitators or coaches will strengthen the work.
