Our Process
Reach your higher purpose. Elevate performance.
Lapin’s proven methodology and purpose-driven philosophy helps individuals and organizations discover, align, and activate who they are with what they do.
Lapin's relationships aren't transactional, they're transformational.
Prioritizing what makes you great.
We enable you to identify your deepest levels of purpose and meaning. By integrating your purpose and values, we deliver your distinction, a unique leadership strategy that yields sustainable growth.
Successful organizations adapt to change through innovation. Simultaneously, they stay true to their purpose, using it as a compass to navigate the road ahead. With Lapin you will uncover your fundamental purpose, translating it into strategies that help you scale and tools to ensure you thrive.
Our proprietary three-step process.
Lapin’s purpose-driven consulting strategy starts with a holistic three-step process that identifies roadblocks preventing you from realizing your vision, creates alignment around your most pressing objectives, and provides the blueprint for transformation and change.
Deep assessment. Fearless introspection.
Discovery
Lapin’s techniques of interpretation go beyond the repackaging of old information by revealing new findings that shed light on what’s truly inhibiting leadership inspiration, innovation, alignment, and strategic efficacy.
Beneath the surface.
We dive deep into your company’s human and cultural dynamics through an organizational assessment that yields insights into the most important barriers to growth and innovation.
What matters most.
Using our qualitative and quantitative proprietary methodology, we help you identify your most pressing cultural and strategic challenges and uncover new opportunities for improvement.
Aligned to act.
After agreeing the way forward, we guide you through our alignment process to ensure all critical stakeholders are on board to drive the changes needed.
Create distinction. Deliver growth.
Alignment
To stand above the competition, you need strategic alignment, structure, and values to bring forth your organization’s unique purpose. With this distinction, you can attract talent and satisfy customer needs in ways others cannot.
Clarify higher purpose.
Every great strategy begins with purpose. Lapin helps leaders uncover the deeper “why” that fuels vision and guides decision-making, developing purpose-driven growth strategies aligned to enduring values. When purpose becomes your compass, growth becomes intentional, resilient, and grounded in enduring values.
Connect through strategy.
Alignment bridges insight and execution. We guide leadership teams to connect strategy, process, and structure to their higher purpose. When everything moves in one direction, performance accelerates and culture strengthens.
Create true distinction.
When you integrate strategy and culture with purpose, employees become inspired – they invest in higher levels of energy, passion, and creativity into their work, further driving and sustaining your distinction.
Diagnosis is easy. Treatment takes work.
Activation
Alignment leads to clear, achievable initiatives that activate purpose and drive quick, visible results. Using purpose-driven strategy, we translate a compelling philosophy into a critical set of viable actions for growth and innovation.
Foundation of trust.
When every decision is rooted in purpose, trust becomes the foundation of performance. Trust empowers leaders to take risks, innovate freely, and pursue excellence with conviction – creating an environment where people and ideas thrive.
Purpose into practice.
Transforming purpose into practice, Lapin guides leaders to embed trust and meaning into every decision and interaction. By developing a shared leadership language of trust and respect, we will guide your leaders through a thorough examination of existing initiatives relating to structure, people, processes, and policy, evaluating the extent of their alignment with your organizational purpose.
Building a blueprint.
Together, we craft an actionable blueprint with clear accountability, team commitments, timelines, and measurable milestones. This actionable, adaptable framework becomes the management tool through which organizational purpose is driven.
Our process is as unique as our clientele.
No two organizations or leaders are the same. And neither are Lapin’s consulting solutions.
With techniques and tactics that go beyond typical repackaging, we design programs and coaching experiences tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, teams, managers, HR departments, and executives – creating lasting impact at every level of leadership.
Collaborative consultation.
Focused planning.
In close collaboration with leadership and core team members, we identify the issues holding your organization back, and pinpoint challenges to solve, outcomes to achieve, and metrics to monitor.
Individualized insight and intelligence.
Customized discovery.
Through surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews with senior executives, we uncover the strategic and human dynamics that promote or inhibit success, customizing in-depth workshops based on our findings.
From reflection to recommendations.
Purpose-driven strategy.
In immersive workshops attended by select senior leaders, we share insights from the Discovery phase and build the case for change. Probing your company’s unique capabilities, target audiences, and human assets, we collectively articulate your purpose, translating it into an actionable strategic blueprint that delivers distinction.
Aligning purpose and philosophy to promote growth.
Values-based leadership.
Working with the same group of leaders, we architect a system of values (and associated behaviors) that feels indigenous to your company and aligns with your purpose. Expanding this value system into a comprehensive leadership philosophy, we inform internal leadership development initiatives and redefine your company’s means of measuring and rewarding performance. Giving team members the tools to truly “live” their values and purpose, we cultivate leaders equipped to inspire talent, foster innovation, and promote growth.
Cascade throughout your culture.
Scalable communication.
We then help carefully infuse your company’s newly-defined purpose-driven strategy and values-based leadership philosophy into the hearts and minds of your personnel. Through workshops, coaching programs, and online learning platforms, we ensure that everyone is along for the ride.
Connect within. Lead beyond.
Leadership development.
Certain individuals are capable of setting the standard for an entire organization. From interactive workshops and one-on-one coaching for senior and high-potential executives to team development, alignment workshops, the Digital Leadership Fingerprint, and Lapin’s Trust Index for managers, HR, and support staff, our Leadership Development program is customized to your particular organizational needs, and informed by the eight character traits of Lead by Greatness®.
Meet. Measure. Move forward.
Evaluating outcomes.
We meet with leadership at regular intervals to monitor our agreed-upon metrics, track progress, plan next steps, and recalibrate the program as needed.
No one else can make the difference we were created to make.
