Healing the rift between people and systems.

ITTL helps leaders see what is really happening inside the organization, understand how people and systems are affecting one another, and choose a more humane path for change.

Methodology Lens

Seeing how people, systems, and purpose fit together before action is prescribed.

Why ITTL

Why leaders bring this work to ITTL.

Psychology-based consulting

ITTL reads organizational life through people, behavior, culture, systems, leadership, and change capacity.

People and systems together

The work does not treat performance and human experience as separate problems.

Research-informed diagnosis

Assessment can include interviews, focus groups, written analysis, gap analysis, and thematic interpretation.

Decades of practitioner experience

The consulting practice began in 1976, with ITTL established as the formal home of the work in 1990.

Methodology

A plain-language preview of the Williams Congruence Development System.

The Williams Congruence Development System (WCDS) is ITTL’s way of reading people and systems together before action is prescribed.

Executive Version

A way to see the whole organization before prescribing change.

WCDS helps leaders understand whether people, leadership behavior, culture, structure, communication, and decision-making are working in congruence or pulling against one another.

Deeper Version

A diagnostic lens for the relationship between human and formal systems.

The framework examines governing principles, formal systems, informal practices, lived experience, change capacity, and thematic patterns so recommendations are tied to the actual organization, not a generic model.

I think that what has been most amazing for me in my years of using consultants is the extent to which your work is so different and so impactful. I find that the level of intimacy that you create with your clients as a consultant enhances enormous trust and confidence in your competence. You are able to see the nuances of the problems within our organization and how they are connected to one another, simultaneously integrating multiple problems into multiple levels of solutions. You truly know the client from your analysis better than the organization knows itself. Your focus on the organization AND the individual is so different from others who seem to focus on either the individual OR the organization. I have truly discovered that if an organization is willing to embrace even three of the strategies you recommend, they would be light years ahead _ each step creating a high leverage point for the work of the organization. That you create this higher caliber leverage in your work is superior. Finally, what has helped me enormously is your ability to recommend essential placements of people that matches people to the roles that are needed by the organization, yet honor the employee. I truly appreciate what you have done for us in our organization.

The significant positive impact you had on our organization has far exceeded my expectations. In consideration that Case Corporation is a Fortune 500 organization with world wide operations, the ability you have to systemically look at the people in diverse environments at all levels of the organization is nothing short of impressive. You helped us effect and impact change within the organization and ourselves. You taught us new methodologies and skills that empowered us to create systemic and sustainable processes for the organization. . The individual and organizational impact you had on our people, process and outcomes will have a long term positive impact on all of our operations.
