Knightsbridge was founded in 1986 around a core conviction that there are significant benefits for organizations of all types to continually seek to improve. We believe that people within organizations are vital assets, just as financial, physical and technological assets are. If effectively developed and managed, people become strategic assets to help provide a strong impetus toward adapting to change and achieving organizational success.

As we have had the opportunity to work with both public and private sector organizations, certain common themes emerge that support our underlying beliefs. Most individuals want to be a worthwhile member of a worthwhile team. Given a supportive environment, they are anxious and able to make a significant contribution that will make their jobs more secure and their organizations more successful.

For this to happen, leadership must establish a shared vision and values that clearly articulates the future direction and provides for achievement of the strategic goals for the enterprise. Management's energies must be focused on aligning what people do (i.e., their job related tasks and activities) with key goals that support the vision. Employees must be empowered and provided with access to information and other essential resources. Effective procedures and methods must be implemented so that all employees can exploit their knowledge to solve problems and make process improvements that are valued by customers and all other stakeholders.

Implementing changes that become a permanent part of the organization has proven to be a difficult task for management. For this reason Knightsbridge utilizes the latest PC technology and world class software in order to support our organizational development processes.

We have made strategic alliances with leading edge organizations in order to take full advantage of their products and services. They include:

• Birkman International of Houston for self-management, teaming and HR Lifecycle support.
• Ventana East of New York for use in an electronic meeting setting utilizing powerful groupware and networked PC's.
• Virtual CEO of San Juan Capistrano, CA provides Internet-based applications to radically transform the way all organizations evaluate and improve their performance.
• High Performance Systems of Hanover, New Hampshire provides advanced PC software to dynamically model complex organizational processes in order to play out various scenarios, thus providing the power to test key strategies without implementation costs and risks.
• HR for Hire of Allentown specializes in a broad range of support for human resources functions, including very personalized outplacement services.
• Dr. Jack Davis of St. Mary's University in San Antonio for automated assessment tools.
• Quantum Performance Systems offers a newly announced world class performance management system called PerformanceWizard, a powerful logical extension for further benefits from the Birkman Method.

Integrating the above offerings into Knightsbridge's services has proven to be of extraordinary benefit to our clients. The outcomes have included aligning a team that had been dysfunctional for decades! Plus, we have assisted near bankrupt entrepreneurs to grow and achieve a leading position in their markets, and provide original investors with 10:1 returns in less than 7 years.
