Organizations come to McArdle Ramerman for results, but they often leave transformed. We braid learning for you; it’s a great way to achieve a powerful return on investment through stronger approaches to strategy, leadership, innovation and operational excellence. You’ll find ways to move your team and your organization towards higher effectiveness even as you create a better place to work. You can build a program with us to enhance any–or all–of these together in a customized, integrated approach unique to you and your challenges.

How do you help clients succeed?

We use coaching, group learning, team collaboration and instruments such as the Innovation Styles Preference Indicator tool and group learning to help our clients identify their most natural contribution for each member of their team. The Balanced Scorecard is another tool that helps clients improve their approach to strategy and helps them move closer to achieving their most aggressive vision.

What product or service that you offer would be considered the “best kept secret”? In other words, what product or service might make the DR community really excited?

Some of our best thinking and approaches are available in convenient, pre-designed learning experiences. We provide them for both teams and multi-organization mixed groups. Teams set their own timing; we offer mixed-organization experiences throughout the year.

What is coming up that people can attend?

We have several upcoming group learning opportunities. It’s a chance to get out there with people you haven’t met, learn with them, gain vital skills and begin some serious personal transformation.

At this summit you will learn:

• How to properly manage EDiscovery
• Smart methods and technology used in every aspect of a case
  • Interviewing custodians
  • Surgical collections
  • Predictive coding
  • Leveraging cloud storage
