I needed a way to bring together teams from across our organization.
We had to develop an innovative, global strategy and knew that our organization would be stronger by leveraging everyone’s knowledge. We needed to get teams out of silo mentality, and we needed a process, tools, and a way to get multiple teams collaborating. Janice guided our leadership team, provided training and helped us achieve more than we ever thought possible

Significant changes to how we were structured and delivered IT services resulted in our needing help to satisfy client needs with solid business solutions. Janice Francisco helped us redesign an existing leadership development program to include their ThinkUP Framework™. Given a transparent and trusted process, our IT Directors learned to collaborate across functions, let go of the belief they had to have all the answers, and stepped into the role of thinking facilitators.
