Profound Depth, Peak Height
Alta Impact, LLC is a rapidly growing provider of specialized training and consulting services in the midwest with a suite of services focused on leadership development and organizational effectiveness.
“The Alta Impact Performance Model begins with the diagnoses of root causes that limit productivity within organizations, teams and individuals,” says founding partner Dan McNeil. “A prescriptive roadmap is then developed and implemented, leaving our clients with higher functioning teams, better results and powerful new capabilities.”
Alta Impact recently engaged with Centric Consulting to serve a global manufacturer that was experiencing very costly delays in implementing a nationwide logistics management system. After working with the key influencers for just a matter of weeks, the leadership behaviors and program management methodology of the steering team were transformed. With the logistics system implementation successfully back on track, the client will save more than $10,000,000 in the first year, in addition to the positive cultural impact of having turned around an extremely challenging project.
“There’s nothing more satisfying than guiding a client to that next level of performance, engagement and results,” says founding partner Jay Messner. “Often, the most valuable outcome is lives are changed for the better, which is incredibly rewarding.”
After partnering with Alta Impact, Dan Busken, President & CEO of Busken Bakery said, “I am a much stronger leader. I now have clarity around my role and what I expect of my employees, and I have the tools to address issues immediately, and with confidence. The positive culture we were able to develop had a direct impact on performance, leading to the higher profits we are now generating.”
