Strategy & Analytics

EPIC facilitates strategic planning targeted towards fulfilling your mission with maximum efficiency and impact. We help clients articulate specific smart goals, clear objectives, and action plans and identify the resources needed to accomplish them.

Our survey methodology drives high response rates through communications, design, and usability. We work quickly to determine the best tools to collect and analyze the information gathered. We also facilitate custom reporting solutions characterized interactivity and data exploration.

Epic Collaborative Advisors believes in meetings that are easy, practical, and actionable. Off-site meetings are used as a catalyst to help your organization work as a team to clarify strategies and goals leading to a inclusive and consistent overall vision. We utilize a series of four off-site meetings (ranging from one to two days each) spread throughout the year. Each meeting has its own agenda and objectives that are customized to your organization and its needs. We work with you to determine the meeting outcomes, set an agenda that is aggressive but inclusive, and actively facilitate the meeting allowing all attendees to participate.

In order to meet all of the needs of your organization, whether through training & development or organizational consulting, Epic Collaborative Advisors utilizes a wide range of instruments that enable us to get “at the heart” of both individual and group needs/desires.

We are certified experts with the following tools:

Birkman

The Birkman is the only assessment that measures underlying needs – the support you need from others and environments to be your most effective self. Combines behavioral and occupational data in one assessment – for a greater understanding of a person’s ideal fit within an organization. Examines personality and perceptions in a social context – promotes greater self-management and encourages mutual respect among colleagues. In addition to the individual assessment, there is a 360-degree feedback tool.

DISC

The DISC measurement system analyzes four key factors and reveals one’s actual behavior and tendencies toward certain behavior. By understanding oneself and others, one will be better able to achieve success in any situation — on the job, at home, in society at large. By better understanding ourselves — and others — we can be more effective as individuals and as an organization.

It provides an Epic framework for building better relationships, driving positive change, championing innovation, and achieving excellence.
