Driven by Passionate Leadership,
Sustainability is ...
Effective Alignment of Resources for Long Term Stable Growth...
Internally & Externally.
Leading Regional Transformation
A stands for Attitude which has a multiplying effect on the person or organization's Skills/Knowledge set. Adding integrated Goals provides direction and a measurement that indicates successful return on investment.The outcome is (PBC) Positive Behavior Change, both personally and organizationally, which produces Improved Results.
Like spokes of a vehicle's wheels, Strategy, Structure, Process, Rewards, and People are the infrastructure of a business or nonprofit that sustain its progress and momentum as it is driven by passionate, effective, leadership toward a strategic goal. On the other hand, if any of these 5 critical spokes fail, the wheel rim collapses... as does the organization. Our STAR approach determines how healthy and well aligned these resources are using customer loyalty and return on investment as current indicators that efforts will produce long term sustainable growth. We then customize our services to not only enable repair of any issues inhibiting progress, but maximize momentum by strategically aligning the organization ... internally and externally within its community. What really sets Fox Morter part from other consultants is the Regional Transformation GIFT Development Project that aligns organizations to multiply efforts and maximize resources. "Alliances have become an integral part of contemporary strategic thinking." ~ Fortune Magazine ~
Organizational Assessment
Fox Morter is certified in D.I.AL.O.G., or "Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals". This is a uniquely customized web based organizational assessment tool that is designed to show areas of misalignment and how well critical organizational elements are working or not working together. For example, we are not concerned with measuring communication simply for communication's sake, but rather how effectively the client is communicating essential strategic and tactical information organization wide.

As a Certified Innermetrix Consultant, Fox Morter can improve the overall health and profitability of an organization by more accurately identifying critical issues, measure and isolate the causes, and craft and implement appropriate solutions in eleven core dimensions of organizational performance. Below are examples of assessments used in the personnel dimension.
Attribute Index
Human capital is a top priority in today’s organizations.Fox Morter maximizes that important asset by identifying and understanding the unique talents of the organization's workforce. Unique to Attribute Index is its ability to assess the way an individual makes decisions and interacts with the world around him/her as well as how the individual perceives himself/herself. Unlike any other instrument this tool has a direct relationship with deductive science allowing it to accurately rank personal attributes describing individual potential for performance.
Values Index
Values Index combines the work of Dr. Spranger and Dr. Alport into a single assessment that delivers the world’s most comprehensive understanding of a person’s value structure or their motivational style, passion, and drive.
Sustainability is not a one size fits all approach. In a recent study, (60% small to mid-sized organizations), 72% of the executives surveyed indicated reducing costs through efficiencies was the number one business benefit of implementing a strategy of sustainability.

DISC Index
We use the most contemporary interpretation of Dr. William Marston’s groundbreaking work of understanding and measuring a person’s natural and adaptive behavior style. With the invention of the first ever click-and-drag instrument, the DISC index generates reports ten-times as varied and individualized.

Alignment of
Resources
Leading Regional Transformation
When the critical components of an organization are not aligned and the people area stands alone, companies have a tendency to focus on solving problems, putting out fires and reacting to challenges as they present themselves. When processes are not aligned and there is no strategic focus, a departmental mentality starts to bubble to the surface. Variation starts to creep in and each department tends to focus on its own self-interest in lieu of process alignment. When organizations focus on environmental issues apart from their strategic direction, they are often focused on compliance and therefore environmental issues are often viewed as an expense.
However, as the components start to align you can see how people/process creates innovation, starts to prevent problems and fosters interdepartmental teams who produce results quickly. As process/environment starts to intersect departmental alignment is created. More efficient relationships with the supply chain are fostered while creating an environment of systems thinking. As people/environment comes together it creates employee engagement, proactive decision making, and reinforces that sustainability is part of the organization’s culture.
Client’s Results Include:
Increased capacity
Reduced production time
Reduction of scrap and landfill waste
Fewer grievances
Improved financial performance
Increased customer and employee loyalty

Six Sigma Driven
Post Merger Integration
Surveys indicate that about 50% of acquisitions destroy value and an additional 25% do not meet pre- merger plans. Adaptive Six Sigma Process for Rapid Integration beats those odds. Speed and control are critical to successful integration and
they can only be achieved through a coordinated integration process. Our modular process, adaptive to meet your needs and to compliment your
strengths, is specific to each merger, completed in ONE year, yet built on experience with Total Quality, Six Sigma precision, Cycle Time Reduction (Lean),
and the best practices of frequent acquirers.

Cycle Time Reduction
“Point Zero Five to Five Rule” states that for most products or services there is value
being added only .5% to 5% of the time, or 95 to 99.5% of the time that work is being done
only expense is added. Our Cycle Time Reduction process helps you examine each step in a core
process and guides your team to make it more effective, more efficient, more flexible, and less expensive
while maintaining or improving quality. This is Team Based because who knows each designated “core process”
better than those who work on it? Additionally, buy in is necessary for success, and ongoing total quality improvements have to be done by qualified hands-on teams. Cycle Time should be considered a viable option when an
organization is trying to improve: efficiency, productivity, cost base, customer responsiveness, speed to market of new offerings, merging of processes post acquisition, and flexibility.
Lean Results are Measurable:
• Improved Capacity
• Lower Unit Costs
• Shorter Cycle Times
• Improved Employee Morale
• Improved Customer Satisfaction
• Higher ROA (Return on Assets)
• Greater Productivity
• Greater Customer Responsiveness
• Quicker Time to Market
• Increased Effectiveness
• Improved Profitability
• Improved Competitiveness
