Quality and reach

Our learning coaches: the cream of the crop

Both our Learn and Execute® format and the content of our programs are unique. Besides, we have built our reputation by always delivering outstanding value to our clients. That is the keystone of our success; we are absolutely committed to it.

Consequently, not every facilitator or consultant can become an ORCHANGO learning coach. Here are the key attributes shared by all our coaches:

• Genuine desire to help other people learn – after all, that is the essence of our business!
• Absolutely learner-focused – those facilitators who need to show off in front of the classroom in order to please their ego, well, they cannot be part of our delivery team.
• Remarkable ability to create rapport and engage participants – across generations and cultures.
• Solid business and organizational acumen – to understand and relate to the context in which the participants operate (competitive environment, organizational and cultural challenges, office politics, etc.).
• Confidence, high energy and flexibility.

In addition, like all other members of the ORCHANGO team, our learning coaches possess a personal set of values that resonates with our core values.

Extensive network of seasoned consultants

We rely on an extensive network of experienced practitioners to deliver the right solution to our clients. Through this network of freelancers, we can staff projects internationally with seasoned practitioners who have the exact expertise required to help our clients succeed.

Our network-based model eliminates the tricky dilemma facing the firms whose majority of consultants are full-time employees. In these firms, the practice leaders are torn between doing what is right for the client (i.e. only assigning to client projects consultants with the required expertise) and optimizing their margins (i.e. moving people "off the bench", whether or not they are the best fit for the client projects). 

At ORCHANGO, we don't have to face such dilemma. We always do what is right for the client.
