In today’s dynamic environment, public health organizations must be agile and responsive to evolving challenges. Consulting services are often sought for guidance, but there’s a common concern: many consultants entrench themselves within the client’s organization, creating dependency that’s hard to break.
F&T Labs takes a different approach. We focus on empowering your organization through understanding and collaboration.
At F&T Labs, we recognize the importance of your organization’s unique identity and values. Our goal is not to become an unshakable part of your operations but to serve as enablers for positive change. Our guiding light is the THRIVE method, encapsulating our core values and approach.
What makes the THRIVE method special is that it begins by genuinely listening to your organization’s specific challenges in the “Take Note” phase. This phase is all about empathy and making sure we truly understand where you’re coming from. But what’s groundbreaking is that the method culminates with an “Exit” phase – where we focus on ensuring that your team is fully equipped to sustain the improvements independently.
The THRIVE method is not just another consulting buzzword. It’s a practical and structured approach built on a foundation of partnership and mutual understanding. It’s a roadmap tailored to your organization, ensuring that the strategies developed are both effective and maintainable.
The THRIVE Business Consulting Methodology
Six essential steps that guide our work with clients, from initial engagement to project completion.
Take Note
The first step in our THRIVE process is to listen carefully and take note of your organization’s needs. Our engagement model enables us to identify the current conditions and challenges you face. We facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand through structured discovery activities. By taking note of your needs, we can develop a customized plan to address your unique challenges.
Huddle
Once we’ve gathered essential insights, our F&T Labs team huddles to synthesize the findings and develop key observations on the necessary actions for transformation. This internal collaboration allows us to form a solid foundation for the rest of the process.
Review
With a clear understanding of the issues and opportunities, we re-engage with you to review our findings. This collaborative session allows us to present the opportunities for transformation and reach a consensus on the process. By collaborating with our clients, we ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals.
Implement
Our expert consultants work across various disciplines during the implementation stage to meet the transformation objectives. Regardless of the approach, our focus remains on achieving the desired outcomes. We help your organization achieve its goals and reach new heights by implementing our customized plan.
Verify
Throughout the THRIVE process, we continually check in with our clients to verify our assumptions and ensure the project’s success. This ongoing communication fosters a productive partnership and helps us make any necessary adjustments along the way.
Exit
Finally, we empower organizations to continue their transformation journey independently. We establish a clear endpoint for each project, providing training and support to help organizations thrive on their own. By empowering our clients to continue independently, we help them achieve long-term success without ongoing consultant dependency.
