Who is Harmony

We help organizations and the people in them reach beyond what they think is possible and create the future they strive to realize.
Right now … whether you realize it or not … your employees are creating your organization’s future … either the one you are trying to avoid or the one that you want. How they think today translates into tomorrow’s failure … or tomorrow’s success. We apply a 21st century model that gives change management a whole new meaning. We work with you to transform your current workforce into the best collective minds.

As we have applied the solid approaches of organizational consulting over the last 30 years, we have discovered the best way to leverage your most important resource…..complete staff engagement. We build on research that shows that outcomes are powerfully influenced by how people think. When people’s best instincts are triggered, they create inspired outcomes. Our consulting puts the principles of this research into practice and underscores the difference in the outcomes that our clients achieve. We don’t simply coach, facilitate, train and consult to you. We lead you step-by-step in putting your organization’s natural leaders to work leading from the inside out producing an inspired and innovative organization.

We know how to help you find the quality of inspired thinking that turns strategic crises into strategic opportunity. The best thinkers are right there in your company. They aren’t just in the board room or the executive suite. They are also the people doing the daily business of your organization.

Harmony’s results will be almost immediate; going far beyond building social capital with your customers and enhancing your reputation as a progressive caring organization.

Harmony teaches you the basics and then supports you as you develop mastery at all of the best practices that together help you to create a highly engaged workplace that achieves the outcomes that matter most to your organization. We support you as you seize opportunity and eliminate the waste that currently occurs in most processes of human interaction.

If you are wondering how to get there, then you are ready for Harmony. We can help you unlock and inspire the collective wisdom and natural leadership that is available for you to put to work in your organization.

Management, Organizational & Business Improvement Services (MOBIS) is a federal supply schedule indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle administered by the General Services Administration (GSA). It enables U.S. federal government agencies to procure professional and technical services worldwide through a much more simplified acquisition process.

Harmony Inc. is a pre-qualified vendor who provides a wide variety of services at pre-negotiated labor prices. Because of this, Harmony can cut through many of the tedious review and justification requirements that have burdened both government procurements and consultants and contractors in the past.
