Founded in 1986 in Hartford, Connecticut, Charter Oak Consulting Group, Inc. is a consulting firm that specializes in strengthening organizational performance. We work with a wide variety of clients in the private and public sectors. As a company, we are small enough to take a personal approach and large enough to share an international perspective. Our people have masters and doctoral degrees in organizational development. We have held senior management positions in human resources and organization development. We have taught and held leadership positions at university business schools. We have shaped corporate and executive leadership at Fortune 500 companies. Our clients view us as experts in leadership development, team building and organization development. Yet these labels fail to provide a full picture of what Charter Oak does. In the final analysis, what our clients have achieved with our help is the true measure of Charter Oak. For example, we helped the president of a major automobile company form high-performance teams at the highest level of his organization. We showed team members how to move key corporate projects ahead faster by working together, communicating better, inspiring each other and dramatically improving working relationships. At a leading financial institution, we worked with the firm's senior managers from two competing divisions. Our mission: help the two groups understand each other, define common goals and objectives, and form working relationships that would enable them to work together, achieve the objectives, and satisfy their own special needs. Repeatedly, clients turn to us as leaders who can empower people throughout the organization to make things happen.
