Technology consulting company

u2i, a small but highly-successful Krakow-based technology consulting company serving big-name New York-based clients, engaged us in assisting their computer programmers to make the mental shift from ‘I am a programmer’ to ‘I am a consultant, helping our client solve a difficult problem’. Our consulting initiative resulted in creating strong, high-performing teams, with exceptional communication skills, including the crucial ‘people skills’ of inter-personal communication, conflict-resolution, and even ‘selling’ their solutions to clients. We helped them think like ‘consultants’, asking powerful questions, listening deeply to fully understand what their client’s technology needs are, then building the system to accomplish those goals. They learned to stay with the client’s real world, adapting their technology solutions to fit the client’s changing situation. As graduates of our Leadership Development Intensive (LDI) all of u2i’s people learned to master listening for understanding, creating real ‘straight talk’ conversations, to expect even SEEK change, not resist or resent it when it comes, and to work with Greater Purpose.
