What are some common problems that confront executives from rapidly changing organizations?
A common pitfall is to be too reactive and fail to develop a proactive strategy to manage change and growth. Organizations have a tendency to devolve into sluggish bureaucracies that stifle innovation when executive teams fail to develop strategies:
- To shape the corporate culture
- Promote and train the right management team
- Ensure that the management team buys into and models the corporate values
- Reward risk taking and innovation
Another pitfall is the failure to "connect the dots" and identify the implications of flucutations in the economy and international events on corporate performance. Many companies operate from a "tunnel vision" vantage point and narrowly focus on their own industries. They feel to
glean learnings from other industries and other countries. This results in a failure to spot emerging threads, a slow reaction time, and a delay in course correction.

What services do you offer for rapidly changing organizations?
Our core service is consulting to help teams and oranizations improve their effectiveness. We deliver this service in a variety of ways including executive coaching, meeting facilitation, executive retreats and team building sessions. We have a number of highly effective business simulations that can be used for team buiding retreats.
Since our business simulations, which are often delivered at off-site locations in Canada and overseas, involve indoor and outdoor recreational components, companies have also been coming to us when they require upscale recreational events, corporate event planning and incentive travel.

Why an oasis?
Often, when people think of a desert, they picture a flat and sandy terrain that stretches for miles. Deserts are actually rugged environments with towering sand dunes, desert storms, extreme hot and cold temperatures. Jeeps race up and down desert sand dunes in roller coaster fashion. If they don't, it's easy to get stuck and end up spinning your wheels. In the desert, one can travel for miles upon miles without seeing any sign of growth.
This is a perfect description of the business environment since 2001. Wide fluctuations in corporate and stock market performance, the increasingly tough environment in which to grow business, and the sweeping effect of 9/11, SARS, and other cataclysmic events have their parallel in the desert storms. The pace of change has accelerated. Organizations have to move at break neck speed to stay ahead of the competition.
